Bellarmine University

Shadley Associates created the Landscape Vision and Wayfinding Report for Bellarmine University in Louisville, Kentucky.  The Report identifies the primary objectives for the campus landscape and provides site design solutions that guide the future planning and development of the campus.  Specific design proposals strengthen the overall campus landscape by creating a more cohesive and pedestrian-friendly environment.  A system of spaces with varied character, functions and hierarchical importance was first defined and then connected as a choreographed series of landscape events, through the use of signature materials including special pavements, walls, lighting, signage and site furnishings.  The campus arrival experience was also organized and simplified.  The Report received a Planning Award from the Kentucky Society of Landscape Architects.
