Harvard's Science Center plaza revived

The Science Center plaza, renovated, becomes a Harvard crossroads.

From The September-October 2013 Issue

The plaza between Harvard Yard and the Science Center has been remade as a campus crossroads. It features fixed and movable seating, anchors for reunion tents, wiring for movie nights and other performances, and a trilevel planting of ginkgo trees, sumacs, and ferns to soften the Science Center facade and provide shade and year-round visual interest. Chris Reed ’91 of Stoss Landscape Urbanism was the principal designer; for details, see “A ‘Common Space’ at Harvard’s Crossroads.”

Published in the September-October 2013 print issue under the headline “Uncommon Space,” in the John Harvard's Journal section.
