Susan Bulkeley Butler Center for Campus Life

At the Susan Bulkeley Butler Center for Campus Life, Country Brook Landscape enhanced the outdoor terraces by installing new shrubs, fresh mulch, and sod to support the building’s role as a central gathering space on campus. The landscape was designed to complement the architecture while softening hard edges and creating comfortable, inviting areas for students to sit, connect, and recharge. Thoughtful planting and clean, durable finishes help define multiple seating zones, improve circulation, and add seasonal interest without increasing maintenance demands. The result is an outdoor environment that feels intentional and welcoming; extending the function of the campus indoors spaces into the landscape and supporting daily use throughout the academic year.
