As the Landscape Architect for this fifty acre medical center campus, we defined the landscape treatments, developed the landscaping standards associated with each, provided a listing of approved plant materials for each standard. The intent was to create a uniform landscape which would be consistent regardless when a project would be built over the life of the ten-year Master Development Plan.

The Wallowa Community Hospital project was a new ground up healthcare facility located in Enterprise, Oregon. The landscape included a water feature at the entrance of the new medical center, site landscaping and a Healing Garden with walking trails and seating areas for staff, visitors and patients to gain access to the beautiful Wallowa views. Our approach was sustainable in taking the stormwater runoff into naturalized creek/swales then flowing into a wetland pond. Careful plant selections focused on native plants that would withstand the cold and snowy winters and fend off roving wild life.

Macdonald Environmental Planning was engaged on this University District campus to design the pubic courtyards for patients, staff and family members to enjoy. The courtyards were planned to promote access to natural plantings, water features and gathering areas for healing purposes. Three water features were designed to make the gardens tranquil and meditative in order to increase mental outlook during recovery time. Sustainable features were used as well with the addition of living greenwalls and a rain fed spillway was incorporated for viewing from the public cafeteria. Also, a Behaviorial Health garden was developed for the safe and guided access for patients having difficulties with mental stability issues.
