Project Details
The Field Museum of Natural History’s 2015 Landscape Masterplan expands the scope of the Museum’s mission by fostering growing community awareness of ecological processes, sustainable practices, and landscape restoration. The implementation of the vision creates a site that participates in larger ecological systems and landscape patterns within the Museum Campus, a network which has the potential to improve the overall ecological health of the City of Chicago’s lakefront, and catalyze additional sustainable landscape design and management at the regional level. Phased site improvements are facilitate pedestrian circulation, gathering and special events, and learning opportunities outdoors.
