Chestnut Hill Academy
Science & Technology Center
Chestnut Hill, PA

As part of a $1 million grant from a private family foundation Chestnut Hill Academy created a LEED-certified learning facility — the Science & Technology Center — that is a living demonstration of environmental sustainability. LEED is the acronym for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. E.G. Rall Jr. Landscape was chosen to implement the landscape design of the center, which includes native plants and a rain garden to collect storm water.

The "Hogan Green" was created to link the new Safeguard Scientifics building to the original facility. A pond and waterfall are the focal points. The waterfall is surrounded by trees, flowering shrubs and perennials. The "Nittany Lion" stands guard. Benches are strategically placed on interlocking concrete pavers. A courtyard allows for outdoor events.

This project was built on the site of an existing township park. It features a sundial surrounded by a natural stone wall. The walking surface is a "red tipple" stone from local quarries. Edging the planting beds is a simulated cobblestone concrete product. The plantings consist of summer-blooming perennials, evergreens, meadow grasses and shade trees. The benches are permanently mounted.
