• Received a 2006 Merit Award from the Maryland and Potomac Chapters of the MD ASLA.
• The project scope included the demolition of the former amphitheater and the conversion of the space into a sculpture garden with a smaller amphitheater with seating for 110 people for special events.
• With a 12 foot difference in grade between the upper and lower entrances, the challenge was to insure that the space was ADA (physically challenged) accessible on at least one pathway.
• Improvements included pedestrian access, retaining walls, amphitheater seating, lighting, site furniture and plant material.
