Urban Meadow for a Corporate Campus

The project

Urban Ecosystems Landscape Architects proposed an alternative to the manicured lawns of corporate campuses for Room & Board's 20-acre headquarters. The master plan turns the site into a functioning landscape that restores habitat, manages stormwater and supports staff wellbeing.

It includes six acres of woodland restoration, rainwater management built into the car parks, and an urban meadow of nearly 100 plant species in place of large areas of turf. The meadow gives colour and texture through the seasons and needs no supplementary irrigation. The project was completed in 2018.
