Longwood Gardens - New Heights Fountain Revitalization Project (1 PDH)

Event From Date
Thursday, March 8, 2018 - 05:30 PM

Get a behind the scenes view of the restoration and revitalization of the historic Main Fountain Garden at Longwood Gardens. See how the new modern engineered systems and infrastructure supporting the gardens are invisible to the public which not only enhances the visitor experience, but preserves the European aesthetic intended by Pierre S. du Pont, the garden’s founder and designer. Urban designed a geothermal condenser water loop system which, in addition to engineered soils and pervious surface materials that reduce the site’s stormwater runoff, supports Longwood’s mission to be a good steward to the environment. The complex systems were relocated underground through a network of tunnels leading to a 50,000 SF, two-story, underground pump house.
