Overview
Landscape Architects are partnering with Enteros Design on the new Petersburg Library, located prominently along Washington Street. The design is inspired by the falls of the Appomattox River which is represented in the rear bluestone terrace transitioning down to a “river basin” plaza by way of a two-tiered waterfall.
Nine outdoor learning landscapes have been modeled on regional ecosystems including river basin, pine forest, riparian buffers,and prairie meadow, with additional areas for a wildlife habitat garden, and a model for xeriscaping. Each of these vignettes will utilize primarily native and drought tolerant species in accordance with LEED practices.
