Based on knowledge gained through the study, two implementation concepts were developed for selected areas in the Classical Core. These concepts demonstrate the process for landscape improvements and application of guidelines based on sensitivity to a site's historical context and landscape features. They provide examples for designers, the University community, and potential donors when developing enhancement concepts and designs for cultural landscapes. The two implementation concepts, Mining Circle/Oppenheimer Way and the Campanile Way/Sather Road intersection, were chosen based on their importance to the campus and their representative historic and landscape characteristics.
Historic research and assessments were completed for each site, providing important base information to inform the future design. Each site was analyzed through design alternatives, and a preferred alternative was developed in further detail. An important aspect of the process was retaining the key defining features and historic character of these sites while addressing the future needs of a dense urban campus.
