Campus Landscape Designs Unveiled to University Community
NEWARK, Mar 29 2005
Two architects from Thomas Balsley Associates of New York City, an architectural firm specializing in urban landscape design, yesterday unveiled to students, staff and faculty a plan to update and beautify the campus’ visual exterior. The initiative is part of the university’s strategic plan. Changes will include the creation or renovation of paving and walks, steps and walls, the standardization of exterior lighting plus installing a profusion of hardy and easy-to-maintain flowering plants, shrubs and trees. The first phase of this multi-year effort will be completed by September of 2006.
