Stanford Universitv. 1996 (lli.§!!l A new hazard materials storage facility was set into the oak studded foothills on the western fringe of campus. By selective use of soil mounding and plantings of native shrubs and oaks we blended the new concrete block facility into the surrounding native landscape. Heritage size native Valley Oaks were protected during construction and now form part of the finished landscape. All subsurface drip irrigation was used to benefit the native plant material and conserve water. Stanford Project Manager: Anne Ording, PE, Utilities Division, 650-723-6260 Ravchem CorlJoration MasterlJlan. Menlo Park. CA 1991 ($1.1 m) The main Raychem campus underwent a major upgrading to its facilities in the early 90's. RBA provided various planning and design efforts to integrate the campus through site master planning, plant selection, irrigation analysis, and hardscape refurbishment. Parking studies, pedestrian circulation studies, visual analysis, and utility coordination were part of this work. One example is the Tech Library addition featuring a tree lined pedestrian mall and reading courtyard. This is now a thriving employee lounging area and a major aesthetic upgrade at the heart of the campus. Contact: Mr. John Kahl, Raychem Project Manager, 415/567-9872 ALZA CorlJoration. M5 Facilitv. Mountain View. CA. 1995 ($300kJ Preservation of existing heritage size trees was required to allow the city planners grant approval for construction of this new lIinfill" building on a Shoreline Drive ALZA site. New hardscape entry court and seating areas were designed for visitor orientation as well as employee enjoyment. The fire access zone running the full length of the site was paved in lIdriveable" landscape to allow the area to be included in required landscape while being functional for emergency vehicles. The project is an outstanding example of retrofitting new uses into an existing complex. ..~. T
