西南地区复兴项目是马萨诸塞州阿默斯特校区最密集的地区的一个全面更新。该项目开始作为基础设施更换在旗舰校园的过时的住房区域，并成长为一个完整的整个五英亩的景观，包括主要的行人广场，相邻的广场和相关的停车场的整修。综合来看，现场铺路比例完全颠倒。 70％的原始不透水路面在重新设计中减少到40％硬景观。原有种植和渗透空间的30％扩大到60％。先前从未在校园内尝试引入高度可见的雨水系统和相关的生物群落，广场和渗透花园，并首先移除了超过25个流域和几百线性英尺的地下雨水管道。当地树木，灌木，草和地被的规模和多样性取决于区域调色板的设计形式和影响。

The Southwest Concourse revitalization project is a comprehensive renewal of the most densely populated area on the UMass Amherst campus. The project began as infrastructure replacement for an outdated area of housing on the flagship campus and grew into a complete renovation of the entire five-acre landscape, including the main pedestrian concourse, adjacent plazas, and related parking areas. Comprehensively, the paving to planting ratio on the site was completely inverted. The 70% of original impervious pavement was reduced to 40% hardscape in the re-design. The 30% of original planting and pervious space was expanded to 60%. The introduction of a highly visible stormwater system and associated bioswales, plazas and infiltration gardens had never been previously attempted on the campus, and pioneered the removal of over 25 catch basins and several hundred linear feet of sub-surface stormwater piping. The scale and diversity of native trees, shrubs, grasses and groundcovers takes design form and influence from the regional palette.
