Landscape Design done in conjuncture with Jacobs/Ryan Associates. The Regenstein Learning Campus is an environmental discovery center and nature playground at the Chicago Botanic Garden. This six-acre horticultural center serves a vibrant community of families, offering an interactive experience with the natural world. The design immerses families and children of all ages in a variety of outdoor experiences that include inquiry-focused learning and play the engenders a deep understanding of ecological systems. This regenerative project is envisioned as a gateway to the natural world, one that highlights creative discovery in all seasons. The campus weaves together multiple landscape typologies: from an upland play mound area to a lowland stream that is fed from an adjacent lake and stormwater runoff.
