G Brown Design worked with the project Architect from programming through construction periods services for the University of Utah Frederick Albert Sutton Geology Building. Services included assisting with site design, planting and irrigation design, and LEED analysis and documentation. G Brown Design worked with the architect and faculty to develop a landscape design that is sympathetic and evocative of the materials and issues studied in the Department of Geology and Geophysics. This included monumental rock displays, a dry creek bed, and stone mulches. The landscape design also facilitates ground water return, storm water runoff mitigation, high efficient irrigation, a green roof, and native and adaptive plant materials to create a conservation-minded landscape design that reflects the goals of the college to use water and other natural resources responsibly.

Judge Memorial High School Sports Field
G Brown Design, Inc. provided site planning and landscape architectural services for a new synthetic turf field upgrade and streetscape for Judge Memorial High School located in Salt Lake City. The site, located on the east bench of the valley offers stunning views of the entire valley and surrounding mountain ranges to the west. Some design constraints included high ground water, fault lines, steep grade changes and existing site elements and irrigation systems. A series of well thought out planting designs soften the overall site and create a streetscape that fits the context of the site and surrounding neighborhood. A two lane track was designed around a combined football/soccer synthetic turf field to maximize space on a relatively small site. GBD offered innovative solutions for cooling the field and irrigating the planters on site.
