The Ryan’s Way enhancements create a sense of arrival, with a planting design linking a campus dormitory on one side of the drive and a softball field on the other, while framing a view of the student center, Connolly Center.
The scale of the dormitory was minimized with the seat wall and by planting tall trees at the outset.
The willow oak allee and light fixtures with banners frame a vista leading to the student center.- Many native plants were selected for their seasonal color and wildlife benefits, including these pink coneflowers.
Late summer color is provided by the tall Joe Pye weed, mid-height pink coneflower, and low Homestead Purple verbena.
Villanova University’s Main Campus Entrance at Ithan Avenue was transformed into a unified gateway, with cohesive plantings at the entrance walls and along both sides of the Ryan’s Way entrance drive. A new stone seat wall provides definition and places for seating. An informal allee of willow oaks, supplemented by flowering trees, shrubs and perennials creates a lush greenway.
