To augment several recent planning efforts, the University of Florida retained GAI’s Community Solutions Group and IBI Placemaking to prepare a Landscape Master Plan for the 2000-acre campus. The plan provides direction for transformation of the University into a visually cohesive and sustainable pedestrian, bicycle, and transit friendly campus. It establishes a vision for the UF landscape through the adherence to five design principles – creating welcoming edges; strengthening the campus core by expanding the pedestrian realm; assuring an interconnected campus of attractive multi-modal corridors; protecting and restoring natural areas of the campus; and providing a cohesive campus image through the creation of standards for hardscapes, furnishings and plant material.
