HOSPITAL ENTRY LANDSCAPE• Create an attractive first

impression

• Improve pedestrian circulation

• Incorporate shade trees wherever possible

• Develop connections to Highland Park

• Provide a space of respite for hospital employees

• Enrich landscape with diverse low-maintenance plantings

• Reduce the amount of maintenance required to keep lawn in good health

ENTRANCE

ADDITIONAL SHADE TREE PLANTINGS

IMPROVED PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION

• Confusing pedestrian circulation increases risk of conflict with vehicles

• Sidewalk connection to parking garages needed

• Weak connection to Highland Park across the street

• Lack of shade trees makes for a harsh paved landscape

• Hospital staff sit on street curbs during breaks

poorly designed pedestrian circulation routes maximize vehicle conflict

RECOMMENDED STRATEGIES


NEW ADDITION LANDSCAPE

FILLING GAPS IN EXISTING SCREENING VEGETATION

DENSE PLANTINGS OF URBAN-TOLERANT SHRUBS PROVIDE

ADDITIONAL SCREENING

VINES PLANTED ALONG EXISTING FENCE FOR SCREENING

EXISTING CONDITIONS• Screen buildings from adjacent

neighborhood (visual and auditory)

• Accommodate snow storage needs

• Incorporate low-maintenance plantings that provide year-round interest

KEY GOALS

• Gaps in screening vegetation expose residential backyards to hospital

• Limited screening plantings exist along Mount Vernon Avenue

• Existing plantings have very little seasonal interest

• Landscape around new building needs to blend in with existing surroundings

• Gaps in understory vegetation expose the Bellevue cul-de-sac to hospital

ARCHITECTURAL CANOPY OVER ONCOLOGY CENTER ENTRANCE

EXISTING CONDITIONS• Fill gaps in the tree lawn

• Enhance Oncology Center entrance

• Visually break up expansive building facade


• Acknowledge connection to Highland Park

KEY GOALS

• Underwhelming entrance to the Oncology Center

• Foundation plantings lack seasonal interest

• Building facade is out of scale with residences across the street

• Damage to turf grass along sidewalk from winter salting and plowing

• Gaps in street tree plantings

• Connection to Olmsted portion of Highland Park

• Smokers on the sidewalk are a neighborhood concern

STREET TREE PLANTINGS

LARGER TURNING RADIUS FOR TRUCKS

EXISTING CONDITIONS• Fill gaps in tree lawn

• Screen parking lot

• Repair sidewalks as needed



• Accommodate snow storage needs

KEY GOALS

• Limited screening of parking lot from the adjacent neighborhood

• Major die-off of arborvitae recently planted to screen parking lot

• Many potential planting spots for street trees

• Turf grass along sidewalk damaged from winter salting and plowing activities

• Limited locations for storing plowed snow in winter

• Truck traffic creates ruts in lawn

• Smokers on sidewalk are a neighborhood concern

• Litter & cigarette butts collect in planting beds

DENSE PLANTING WITH YEAR-ROUND INTEREST

EXISTING CONDITIONS• Fill gaps in tree lawns

• Soften the scale of large parking structures

• Incorporate diverse plantings at staircase that provide year-round interest



KEY GOALS

• Drive between parking structures creates canyon effect

• Sidewalk needed for pedestrian circulation

• Large parking structures out of scale with residences across the street

• Sparse plantings with limited seasonal interest do little for the landscape

• Damage to turf grass along sidewalk from winter salting and plowing

• Smokers on sidewalk are a neighborhood concern

• Litter & cigarette butts collect in planting beds

TOUGH GROUNDCOVER IN TREE LAWN

EXISTING CONDITIONS• Fill gaps in existing vegetation

to help screen buildings

• Provide diverse plantings on slope to provide seasonal interest

• Screen concrete block retaining walls with plantings


KEY GOALSRECOMMENDED STRATEGIES

• Turf grass along sidewalk damaged from winter salting and plowing activities

• Turfgrass in narrow lawn strip between sidewalk and street growing poorly

• Existing trees currently in good health, but at-risk for future issues

• Monotonous plantings offer little seasonal interest

• Concrete block retaining walls at end of lifespan and less than ideal for a quality institutional landscape

• Major crossing for kid and parents walking to school
