The Landscape Heritage Plan (LHP) examines the key characteristics of the university’s historic Classical Core and provides guidance for its continued development that is respectful of the exceptional landscape legacy. The plan provides a framework and guidance to ensure a successful balance between historic preservation and improvements needed for a growing and changing educational institution.
Beginning with the picturesque design established in the 1860s by Frederick Law Olmsted, overlaid with the dominant classical forms and axes of John Galen Howard’s master plan of 1914, and interlaced with the interventions of Thomas Church in the mid-20th century, the Berkeley campus embodies the skillful integration of America’s most significant landscape design movements. The LHP presents the history of this unique collage of styles and offers future designers a rich palette of choices for building upon this design tradition. In doing so, the plan recognizes the importance of the landscape as the connective fabric of the Classical Core, transforming the campus into a community across space and time.
