The Healing Campus
The extensive grounds surrounding the building were designed for walking and contemplation. The landscape boasts native plant communities and bioretention ponds to collect and infiltrate water. Pathways meander through grasses and plants chosen to provide habitat for birds and butterflies and outdoor seating areas offer rest and reflection. The resident landscape architect, MaraLee Olson says, “Access to nature and the out-of-doors helps reduce anxiety and promote healing for patients and their families.”
