We're headed to ACUHO-I Conference + Expo next week, and we’re looking forward to connecting with higher education housing professionals! Be sure to stop by our booth and join us for a session featuring the Georgia Tech Peterson Residence Hall project:

Georgia Tech Peterson Residence Hall: Inclusive Campus Living
📅 June 22 | 2:30 p.m.

Lord Aeck Sargent's Cristy Fletcher and Abigail Vu will join partners from Mithun and Georgia Tech Housing and Residence Life to discuss how thoughtful planning, inclusive design and sustainable construction strategies can support belonging, engagement and student success.

Peterson Residence Hall reflects a collaborative approach to creating housing environments that meet the needs of diverse student populations while strengthening campus community.

We look forward to seeing you in Orlando!

We're excited to see the Chastain Park Palisades Project moving forward. As the lead planning and landscape architecture team behind the Discover Chastain Comprehensive Plan, we're proud to have helped shape a vision that will open 30 acres of previously inaccessible greenspace, restore natural habitats, and create new opportunities for the community to connect with nature.

Congratulations to the Chastain Park Conservancy and all project partners on this important milestone.

Career awareness starts early. Landscape architecture awareness doesn't.

Only 12% of landscape architecture professionals discovered the field before college, and without early exposure, most students may never consider it as a career option. L is for Landscape Architecture: Shaping the World Around You was created to bring awareness — giving children their first window into a profession that shapes the world around them every single day. We are thrilled that our project, the Oglethorpe Schall Woodland Walk, is featured in this book!🌳
