Stanford in Redwood City

In Redwood City, CMG is collaborating with SMWM to forge a balance between campus buildings and landscaped open space. Buildings on campus give shape to the Greenway, a nuanced, choreographed series of outdoor spaces running east-west in the middle of the block. Here, built form and planted and paved open spaces are richly arrayed to form a hierarchy of private, semi-public, and public spaces. This sequence of spaces both supports the campus’ internal activities and provides a sense of place on the main campus, whose open spaces can be accessed by the surrounding neighborhood.
