washington univ. medical center streetscape
Washington University Medical Center (WUMC) is one of the premier healthcare institutions in the world with many Nobel Prize winners in medicine. Landscape plans were needed for all the public areas of the campus encompassing a 16-block area as well as a streetscape renovation along Kingshighway, the main entry to the medical center. Kingshighway fronts on Forest Park, the third largest city park in the country and site of the 1904 World's Fair and Olympics. Craig prepared a design solution integrating the park into the streetscape and creating a colorful and powerful image for the medical district. The concept was to develop a landscape equal in stature to the institution, expressing health, compassion and hope.
