The Penn State University - Scranton Library Classroom Building was transformed with an architectural renovation and addition, and extensive landscape and site improvements. CTLA provided landscape architectural services from concept through construction administration phases.

As part of the overall design program, the site challenge was to create two separate entrances, one each for the library and nursing program, at two different elevations, and to integrate both into the campus pedestrian network.

Steep slopes afford amazing views of the valley below, but create challenges to providing ADA accessibility.

The landscape design provides an elegant yet simple layout of stairs and walkways that provide universal access and seating areas.
