  4. Comparing :Montevallo Montevallo’s campus is considered an architectural jewel. It’s appearance is more in line with private, elite institutions. The central part of campus is a National Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The main portion of the campus was designed by the Olmsted Brothers firm, who also designed the Biltmore House grounds in North Carolina. Frederick Law Olmsted designed Central Park in New York.The campus design is aseptically pleasing to the eye. The campus was designed to give viewers the feeling of being in a park. The trail ways and roads are particularly mapped out so that each view has some sort of park reference with the trees placed at certain points as well as each building.

  5. :Mount Holyoke and Central Park Mount Holyoke College Campus Map. Similar to the plan for Central Park, Mount Holyoke's campus impliments meandering paths and garden sections in it's campus design Central Park Plan. This plan shows the meandering paths and garden sections that are typical of an Olmsted design.

  6. The Olmstead Plan is Born: Frederick Law Olmsted served as the cheif architect of Central Park in New York City from 1858-1861. Central Park is a perfect example of Olmsted's design principles. The park conforms to the contours of nature and even though it is a highly constructed location, it appears natural with its rich woodlands, winding paths, hills and valleys.

  7. :Stanford The Stanfords engaged Frederick Law Olmsted, the famed landscape architect who created New York’s Central Park, to design the physical plan for the university. The collaboration was contentious, but finally resulted in an organization of quadrangles on an east-west axis. Today, as Stanford continues to expand, the university’s architects attempt to respect those original university plans.

  8. Contrasting :Alabama Anchored around a central hub “The Quad” and designed in a grid like pattern.

  9. :UAB Grid shaped, non organic, and busy. You get lost but not in a good way. It does not say college campus, instead it says business, urban and modern. No scenery to enjoy or to take in from a day of class. Polluted.

  10. :Auburn The Auburn campus is primarily arranged in a grid-like pattern with several distinct building groups.

  11. Benefits • Scenery • Sustainability • Seperation • History • design that does not call attention to itself • design which works on the unconscious to produce relaxation • Mystery • Pastoral effect • Uniqueness • Unity
