Exterior Space is now a place, a threshold, and entrance

People of all abilities may enter at same location

Plaza space may now be used by people of all

abilities for a wider variety of activities

Pruned trees in central allee bring monument back into space without being a dominant feature

Wide Planting Beds soften and beautify the space

-Planting beds create intimate subspaces within
