Frazier Terrace complete in time for inauguration

The addition of paving, lighting and planting at Frazier Terrace was completed last week in time for Rosanne Somerson inauguration as RISD's 17th president. Searle Design Group's vision for the Terrace couldn't have become a reality without the hard work of RISD staff, especially Jack Silva, Associate Vice President of Facilities, Joe Melo, Custodial and Grounds Supervisor, and Bruce Jensen, Electrical/Plumbing Supervisor. Bruce also provided us with the photos you see above.

Phil Taylor and his crew from Bel Terra Landscaping worked hard to implement the design that will make the Terrace a more inviting and usable space. We hope that RISD and all members of the community will enjoy this space for years to come.

East Greenwich Library is planted

Fall is in the air and the plants are in the ground at the East Greenwich Free Library at 82 Peirce St. Library patrons and staff alike are already reporting a boost in mood and energy that comes from walking through a garden to get into the Library, according to Karen Taylor, Library Director. That's why we got into landscape architecture!
