The Discovery <br />Park Visitors Center recently underwent building and site upgrades to meet <br />these new goals. At the heart of a trail network, the Visitors Center is a hub <br />of paths that lead out into the park. Several of these trails were updated to <br />accommodate lower slopes, wider clearances, and to include companion <br />seating. A new multi-use trail offers a meandering path along the forest <br />edge with an accommodating grade, maintaining maintenance access, <br />while companion seating areas and additional site benches offer moments <br />to sit and enjoy nature. Visitors have better access to and around the trail <br />head kiosk, as well as to the sport courts, while the amphitheater now hosts <br />companion seating in the heart of the show, all softened with plantings that <br />reflect the local forest. <br />Client <br />Reference <br /> <br />Telephone <br />Email <br />Contract Value <br />Seattle Parks & Recreation <br />Janice Liang <br />Senior Capital Projects Coordinator <br />206 507 3058 <br />janice.liang@seattle.gov <br />$1,489,000 (Construction Value) <br />Dates <br />Project Team <br />Project Address <br />Project Services <br />2020 - 2024; Under Construction <br />Board & Vellum <br />Seattle, WA 98199 <br />Landscape Architecture <br />Laurelhurst Community Center Accessibility Improvements <br />Laurelhurst Community Center is an historic building centered in a large <br />park with sprawling open space that includes large canopy mature trees, <br />large play fields, tennis courts, a playground, trails and even a fire pit. <br />Our role was to update pedestrian access to the community center, and <br />throughout the park via accessible trails and paths. The site posed many <br />challenges with steep slopes and major grade changes as well as large <br />mature trees that could be impacted with trail updates. Long, meandering <br />paths proved to be the solution to the grade changes, while an elevated <br />boardwalk lifts a portion of the trail above tree roots, providing much <br />desired access between the playground and comfort station. We are <br />always exploring solutions for achieving universal access while balancing <br />sensitive site features, maintenance, and sustainability. <br />Client <br />Reference <br /> <br />Telephone <br />Email <br />Contract Value <br />City of Seattle <br />Steve Levengood <br />Senior Capital Project Manager <br />206 386 4556 <br />Stephen.Levengood@seattle.gov <br />$1,753,462 (Construction Value) <br />13 <br />Statement of Qualifications <br />3.
