Project Description

The Southeast courtyard outside of Rapson Hall on the University campus is designed to provide seasonal interest to those in the space, those looking into the space, and those walking by the space. Because the largest population of people use the campus in the fall, winter, and spring, plants were chosen not only for their form but also for their fall color, blooming time (spring or fall), long-lasting seedhead, and winter form and color.

The sunny inner space within the courtyard was designed to accommodate about 25 people, with the intent of using the space for both educational and recreational (relaxation) purposes.
