Following the design and construction of a new children's healthcare pavillion and parking structure, the Lannert Group updated the hospital's campus plan to achieve the three following objectives:

Improve pedestrian and vehicular circulation

Provide a theraputic garden area for patients

Stabilize an existing lake edge through new landscape plantings.

Improvements were made to transit shuttle stops, pedestrian crossings, and many of the outdoor spaces of the campus.  New landscaping and design elements help to unify the campus and its major traffic corridors and helped to create a more pedestrian-friendly environment.  The final products of the design team include a variety of rendered plans, sketches, and computer-generated visualization models.
