Hilton Hotel and Conference Center

Gainesville, Florida

 

This hotel was built to support the cultural complex and formal arrival on the west side of the University of Florida campus. The site contained a number of historic Live Oak trees that were preserved in the site planning process. The clean crisp lines of the landscape help to support the academic atmosphere of the campus setting. The unique stormwater management technique of using low impact development was utilized throughout the parking lot and other areas of the site to detain stormwater. Sustainable landscaping has maintained the quality of the project and enhanced the value of this property.
