BURNABY CENTRAL SECONDARY SCHOOL |
Working within a multi-discipline design/build team, JLLA is responsible for all soft landscaping including extensive retaining wall systems. Key features of the design include an irrigated turf playing field, re-vegetation of a protected ‘riparian zone’, bioswales to collect and retain on-site stormwater, and engineered ‘green’ retaining walls. This $50 million project is designed to achieve LEED ‘Gold’ certification.

BC HYDRO REGIONAL OFFICE, PRINCE GEORGE, BC |
With the development of a new regional office, we are striving to design a landscape which meets the client's goal of sustainable, low maintenance, and low energy output, in accordance with LEED design. To fulfill this goal, we plan on (i) incorporating drought tolerant plant material, (ii) eliminating the existing irrigation system, (iii) replacing mowed lawn areas with more informal, low maintenance grass areas, (iv) incorporating an onsite storm water management program, and (v) retaining all existing naturalized vegetated areas. |

Additional goals include (i) the development of an outdoor stage for children's programs, (ii) enhanced security and safety, (iii) photo opportunities, and (iv) feature predominantly indigenous plant material. |
