Florida International University (FIU) Green Library North Wellness Walkway
Miller Legg provided conceptual design, site engineering, landscape architecture, irrigation design, utility designation and construction phase services for a wellness walkway adjacent to the Green Library at the FIU Modesto Maidique Campus.
The Wellness Walkway was intended to improve the mental clarity of student study in the Library by way of a waterfront pedestrian walkway. The Track incorporated unique textured concrete surfaces to clearly identify the route. Design efforts included analysis and redesign/alignment of pond walkways for improved connectivity, a waterfront plaza, formal outdoor study areas with mobile device charging stations, pedestrian lighting, irrigation design, and limited tree/palm relocations. All of these outdoor spaces were harmoniously integrated with an existing Palmetum containing a diversity of palm species from all over the world.
