CENTER FOR URBAN HORTICULTURE
The site was developed on a former landfill on Union Bay, east of the main campus. Jones & Jones completed all phases of the architecture and landscape architecture design for the complex. The site allows maximum solar exposure and protection from northerly winter winds. The buildings are low-profile clusters which blend with the residential scale of the surrounding neighborhood. The building forms appear to have evolved over time. In addition to meeting the spatial requirements for research, education and outreach programs, the site and facilities are favored for public meetings and social events. The Douglas Research Conservatory addition to the Center expanded its capabilities. The Conservatory allows controlled studies of plants from various parts of the world. The Elisabeth C. Miller Library is the foremost horticulture library in the northwestern United States. It has become an invaluable resource for a region rich in horticultural interest, diversity and expertise.
