The document describes several significant landscape architecture and design projects completed by W. Palmer over 30 years of experience. Key projects include The Wild Center in Tupper Lake, NY, which used water features and trails to connect ecosystems. The AT&T Global Network Operations Center featured landscaping elements representing continents and data flows. Battery Park City Ballfields in NYC provided much-needed sports fields after 9/11 with sustainable design.

Like the museum, water is used as a central organizing element. A three acre pond was created to provide a stunning backdrop to the building and create wetlands that attract native wildlife that can be viewed close-up. It also manages the majority of the site’s storm water and exhibit aquarium water recycling functions. Walking paths, dramatic boardwalks and bridges lead from the pond and meander into and through the sites undisturbed meadows and forests. Site bio-diversity is used by staff naturalists on tours as it contributes to fulfillment of the Museum’s Mission to educate. The trail system culminates at the Raquette River with sweeping views of the Adirondack Mountains. The Wild Center was LEED Silver certified in 2008. It was the first LEED certified museum in New York State and first LEED building certified in the Adirondack Park.

20. Relationship of site to Ground Zero Battery Park City Ballfields, NY, NY Landscape Architecture Urban Land NY Times The two acre Battery Park City Ballfields include two back-to-back little league fields overlaid by a soccer field. The 2003 facility provided a much needed sports venue for downtown residents in the aftermath of 9/11. The project was delayed a year when it was needed as a staging area for the WTC recovery effort. Custom metal work elements augment state of the art ballfield sustainable design standards. Guiding the concept was the goal to create an eco-friendly, all natural turf grass design for the play fields, the first in a New York City park. To achieve this, the drainage system incorporates fibrous rooted materials that trap and process nutrients and waste resulting in cleaner groundwater recharge. Other sustainable elements include self-composting public toilets with solar powered lighting, use of recycled materials and accommodation of future, potential wind turbines. Our client supported the key design goal, that met some downtown Community Board opposition, to use natural grass. This began a dialog in NYC between the cost/benefits between natural grass and artificial turf. Regrettably, these fields are scheduled to become turf fields in 2011, in part, to permit the annual winter installation of an ice skating rink. W T C SIGNIFICANT PROJECTS

26. Relationship of Yankee Stadium, NY, NY Global Press In 1996 Yankee ownership determined its facility too antiquated and it was falling behind other city’s new ballparks related to attendance, player amenities, fan experience and revenue generation. The first design effort, known as the Yankee Stadium Community Development Project, proposed a major modernization of the 1923 facility and urban design initiatives that could make the neighborhood more attractive and family oriented. But in the late Mr. Steinbrenner’s words, “you can dress-up and old lady but you can’t make her dance”, and that sealed its fate. A site selection / site feasibility project in 1998 scoured available parkland throughout the City to determine the best location for a new stadium. That study ranked the West Side Rail Yards as the preferred site and a site adjacent to the existing Bronx stadium second. Ultimately, political wrangling, economics, construction logistics, fan sentiment, among other reasons, led to construction of the new Stadium across the street from the old one. Since the lower third of the building was clad in granite, the same material was extensively used on the site, to reflect the civic dignity of the stadium. A difficult site technically, extensive public plazas were created at focal points, street and site furnishings were matched with City standards and aggressive perimeter security mandates were met.

30. SIGNIFICANT PROJECTS BMW North America HQ Woodcliff Lake, NJ In contrast to the streamlined curves of a BMW automobile, the campus master plan is purely orthogonal—and rationally precise, reflecting BMW’s engineering tradition. A new rectangular building for research and development faces, across a Great Lawn, another new rectangular building for technical training. As the project neared completion, the client asked the site design team to find a suitable location for a memorial garden to honor the memory of a key corporate executive killed on 9/11. Incorporating a distinct blend of modern landscape elements to create a welcoming and soothing environment for BMW employees to gather, the 3,500 square foot space is comprised of two rectangular, visually connected gardens beset by contemplative seating and strolling areas. Located on the centerline of BMW’s new Great Lawn, the Arrival Garden boasts a dramatic water feature, which adds a kinetic dimension to the space. A generously proportioned aggregate plaza and benches also surround the area. A formal hedge was implemented to visually define the edges of the lengthy Central Garden. Other landscape elements include a vibrant mix of flowering perennials gently cascading throughout the garden to harmoniously represent Linda’s journey through life.

The first project, a 103,000 SF Medical Office Building, with Whole Foods occupying the entire 1st floor as a public amenity, opened in October 2006 with great success. The second project, a 165,000 GSF, 5 story medical office building sitting atop a cancer center platform, opened in 2007. Finally in October, 2010, the new 750,000 GSF Main Hospital opened. Each of these projects incorporate parking garages, not only to provide safe, secure and convenient parking, but to maximize the amount of open space that could be retained on the campus. The site design team employed a range of sustainable site design strategies including rain gardens, living roofs, porous pavements and bioswales. The project also included the design development of primary healing gardens which have been designated for donor opportunities.
