HG intentionally maintains a small firm culture, even though we routinely compete on projects with much larger firms. We have found that clients prefer to work with the same senior staff that appeared on the submittal and attend the interview. We are keen on customer service and invite you to call the owners/partners whenever necessary. This way, we maintain relationships…over 80% of our clientele is repeat business. We have active projects in Virginia from Blacksburg to Virginia Beach, and D.C to South Boston.

CORPORATE CAMPUS HEADQUARTERS | GOOCHLAND COUNTY, VA HG Design Studio was contracted to perform Civil Engineering and Landscape Architecture for a series of projects for this private campus,, incorporating two new buildings, extensive outdoor amenities, green space, and a second parking deck. Emphasis was placed on collaborative outdoor green space, pedestrian connectivity and environmentally responsible campus features. A complex and sleek entry fountain and plaza design was vital to the clients desire to attract top talent, as well as views and connections to and from other buildings. The centrally located meadow and stormwater management combination provides most common vista from each building. A pedestrian bridge designed by HG spans stormwater rain garden filtration system. HG navigated topography with a series of steps and a ramp system designed by HG, as well as an intricate native plant plan to tie the campus into the surrounding natural area. Client project schedule required diligence and internal planning to devote proper resources and priority to design and construction, as well as knowledge based construction administration. Other Civil Engineer and Landscape Architecture projects include the following: The Commons Outdoor Terrace: This project required high quality design and extensive construction administration. Dave worked directly with the client and Leo A Daly, an architecture firm out of Nebraska, on this project. The Den Renovation: HG collaborated with HLW Architects out of New York City to incorporate a new entry access and building extension between campus Buildings 5 and 6. Both Civil and Landscape Architecture services were offered. HG ensured that a continuity of the campus design standards were incorporated into the renovation project.

RICHMOND RACEWAY REIMAGINED | HENRICO COUNTY, VA HG Design Studio is providing civil engineering and landscape architecture services for Richmond Raceway Reimagined, a $30 million infield redevelopment project by International Speedway Corporation (ISC). The new project will bring a variety of enhanced amenities for fans, teams, sponsors and other stakeholders to the iconic Richmond infield. HG’s first project with ISC was an incredible opportunity to work closely with Henrico County administration and staff on a very fast-paced, high profile project. HG facilitated meetings between ISC and the County to introduce the project concepts, goals, and schedule needs at all levels during the programming and schematic design phase. As the project was on an expedited schedule, HG also held meetings early in the design development phase to engage review staff and explore compliance options for stormwater management, permitting, traffic and utility models in particular. When concerns about the aging water system and meter capacity were raised, HG suggested breaking the POD into phases in order to study the situation with DPU without impacting the construction schedule. Working closely with DPU staff on multiple modeling iterations led to an innovative metering solution that saved ISC significant money while also improving water and fire flows to the Raceway Complex.
Richmond Raceway Reimagined will provide the facility a completely redesigned and modernized infield to Richmond. Race fans will be able to get closer than ever to NASCAR’s best with new Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series garages and a fan viewing walkway providing full immersion into the sport. Fans will also be able to watch race cars complete their runs through inspection stations in the new infield. In addition to the new garage walkways and inspection viewing areas, other new attractions include expansive Richmond infield social and engagement areas with concessions. Gatorade Victory Lane will now be staged in closer view of the grandstands for fans to have a better experience celebrating with Richmond race winners. The location will provide new fan engagement opportunities for pre-race access, driver appearances, and entertainment programming. An 80-person club experience with roof access will overlook the new Gatorade Victory Lane as part of the modernized infield. Two new garage suites with a view into the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series garages will provide an unprecedented experience in Richmond; similar to modern stadiums and arenas around the world. Media will be hosted in a new Media Center with broadcast booths, a conference room, and hospitality space. Due in part to our fantastic working relationship with staff and their openness to collaborative problem solving, the project met its critical milestone deadlines and is about to host its ribbon cutting for the grand opening on September 19th, 2018.
COLLEGE OF WILLIAM & MARY, ALUMNI HOUSE EXPANSION & RENOVATION HG Design Studio provided recommendations for a feasibility study for an addition to the Alumni House. We performed analysis of the capacity of existing utilities and created a stormwater management concept plan after a review of existing conditions, taking into consideration nearby construction, which will likely impact this site, and the need for compliance with state stormwater requirements for water quality. HG also designed the site layout and grading concepts to address the steep 17-20% average grades across the site. HG continued to provide civil engineering and landscape architecture on this project. The finished product is a signature design for W&M that respects the existing Alumni Center’s historic architecture as well as the college’s campus aesthetic.

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, DARDEN INN & CONFERENCE CENTER | CHARLOT TESVILLE, VA As a member of the consultant team, our civil engineers are tasked with providing stormwater management, land sculpting and grading, utility routing, and permitting for the new hotel and conference center planned for the Darden Business school campus at the University of Virginia. Thoughtful consideration will be given to step the building with the sloping land to make sure it blends in with this beautiful campus. This project is currently in design.
UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, ALDERMAN LIBRARY EXPANSION | CHARLOT TESVILLE, VA The current project scope for the Alderman Library Renewal is comprised of 100,000 SF renovation of the original 1938 library structure (Historic Alderman Building), the demolition of the Old Stacks and adjacent areas between the Old Stacks and the wings in Historic Alderman, and the demolition of the 1967 New Stacks addition. New construction includes a 130,000-SF addition on the approximate footprint of the demolished areas. HG is responsible for civil/site design, including coordination with the University, project architects (HBRA and Clark-Nexen), and landscape architect (OLIN Studio) to address utilities, grading and drainage. Stormwater management for this project will include the capture, pretreatment and reuse of the roof drainage at the nearby Newcomb chiller plan (as a source of makeup water), which will meet all applicable stormwater nutrient reduction requirements. Other project site design aspects include realignment of Newcomb Road North and the temporary use of Nameless Field as a temporary contractor area.
UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, DAVENPORT FIELD The University of Virginia’s Davenport Field project was fast-paced from design through construction, following these design phases: programing, schematic design, design development, early sitework construction documents, final sitework construction documents, bid negotiations, and construction administration. HG worked closely with UVA Facilities Planning and Construction, our client; UVA Athletics, the end user; DLR and Grimm + Parker, the architects; 2RW, the MEP; and Martin Horn, the contractor, to develop designs and implement construction on a site that was occupied by the owner and sports teams throughout construction. Challenge 1: Occupied Site The Davenport Field project is part of a larger park and athletics complex which was occupied by both owners and users during construction. Our construction phasing was tailored to accommodate access for both users and contractors; to adjust work hours and access for events, camps, and competitions; and, to coordinate timing of outages and access with owner’s scheduling needs. • HG developed an early site package to relocate utilities in advance of construction and during off-season times for the adjacent Lannigan track and field stadium. The early utility relocation extended water service and power duct banks to the project site; the routes for these lines would have impeded larger construction access had they not been completed early. • Work was phased to maintain fire and delivery access through the site during construction, and schedules for access and delivery needs were coordinated during the weekly construction meetings. • Temporary paths and bridges were constructed to route athletes and coaches around the construction zones to the adjacent facilities in use. Alternative access to the fields adjacent to the Dorey competition field will be an important consideration. Additionally, staging construction to limit impacts to existing infrastructure is imperative.

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, DAVENPORT FIELD (CONTINUED) Challenge 2: Stormwater Management The existing stormwater best management practices (BMPs) at Davenport Field were not sufficient to account for the new impervious cover; therefore, innovative stormwater measures for the tight site were required. HG studied the larger regional watershed and determined that downstream channels were sufficient to handle large storm events. Small storm events and water quality improvements were achieved through the use of high-flow media filters “hidden” in the landscape islands, pervious pavement in the overflow parking lot, and an underground infiltration chamber. The high-flow media filters are small footprint rain gardens that drain very quickly during rain events and can be nestled into slightly oversized parking lot islands or other available green spaces.
Additional Project Highlights: Vehicular circulation, fire access, and pedestrian circulation shared a single, 15-foot wide asphalt road prior to the expansion project at Davenport Field. Through the limited use of site walls, HG addressed the site pinch-point to create a separated pedestrian and vehicular zones. A 20-foot road provides vehicular, fire truck and delivery access; pedestrian crossings are limited and demarcated by table-top cross-walks which visually and physically cue drivers to slow for pedestrians. An 8-foot sidewalk with landscaping brings pedestrians to the ticketing plaza. And for the first time, there are ADA and VIP parking spaces located at the ticketed entrance to the field.

THE SAUER CENTER | RICHMOND, VA HG Design Studio has balanced historical sensitivity with modern convenience while master planning and designing The Sauer Center, a 40-acre mixed-use city infill project anchored by a new Whole Foods store. HG Design Studio worked with the client to provide multiple planning options for the urban site, including a chic 125-unit apartment complex with posh amenities. Several office buildings, such as a historic renovation of the C.F Sauer Company headquarters, were also part of HG’s planning for the site. CF Sauer Company’s 100-year-old spice and food manufacturing facility remains onsite, but it’s many historic features have been restored, bringing it up to current design building code standards. The loading dock area in the rear has been redesigned to accommodate modern day trucks. A new Whole Foods grocery store was built in the location of the former Pleasants Hardware incorporating the historic Kaufman building into the design. In this design, there is outdoor dining under roof provided on two levels along West Broad Street. The new Whole Foods building maintains the street’s existing façade continuity along the right of way with parking to the west side in urban fashion and is not set back from the road in suburban style. It is a state-of-the-art facility incorporating electric charging stations in the parking lot for customer use and solar panels on the building roof tops. HG has worked with the developers to maintain an urban look and improve walkability at The Sauer Center. Our team planned and designed a pedestrian plaza with green space between the apartment complex and the historic Putney building, and pedestrian corridors throughout the site. An additional pedestrian gathering area/courtyard hardscape space leads out to a plaza along Hermitage Road with low polished granite seat walls and flag poles. The vacant land to the west was converted to surface parking, part of which will be used for a ‘farmers market’ during the warm months of the year. Car ports with solar panels cover many of the parking spaces, providing shade and electric power for the development. In fact, solar panels are on all the roofs of the buildings where possible. The plan also included a GRTC Pulse station, streetscaping along Broad Street, and a parking deck servicing the apartment complex and the Putney building.

SHELTERING ARMS REHABILITATION INSTITUTE | GOOCHLAND COUNTY, VA The new SARI hospital was master planned to provide space for future inpatient and outpatient buildings and services. This project includes 114 inpatient beds, a central rehabilitation gym, a laboratory, a pharmacy, a kitchen and cafeteria, administrative offices, surface parking, site and utility development, and more. The site is close to major roads and interstates and was developed to support not only the initial building but also future expansion. The owner wishes this project to become a destination site for the specialized services being offered. As such, access to the campus and offered services was developed with both the patients and the care-givers in mind such that outside experts and researchers will be drawn to the facility. The landscape design approach utilizes native and adapted native plants as well as drought tolerant species. An orchestrated sequence of flowering ornamental trees leads the traveler to the auto-court and main building entrance. the parking lot islands are planted with shade trees, low shrubs and groundcover. At the main entrance to the building, there is colored concrete paving with a dominant scoring pattern to distinguish this area from all the other standard collector walk concrete. Remaining walkways are poured in place, gray concrete. Ornamental LED light bollards are located at the patient arrival area. Low voltage LED landscape lighting is located near the entrance to the building. Attractive metal benches with backs and metal trash cans are located near the front door.

SCIENCE MUSEUM OF VIRGINIA MASTER PLAN UPDATES & PARKING DECK | RICHMOND, VA The Science Museum of Virginia is embarking on the exciting creation of a park in front of its iconic building. Stretching from Terminal Place to the west to DMV Drive to the east, the park will take over two parking lots to create a green, welcoming place in this dense and heavily-built part of the City. In front of the Children’s Museum of Richmond and a new parking structure next to the Science Museum, a series of pathways cut through rolling topography planted with native trees, groundcovers, and drought-tolerant lawn. An art plaza will accommodate a large sculpture, being commissioned separately by the Museum. The entry driveways in front of the Museum have been narrowed and surface parking removed. An open lawn and a plaza for the Earth Kugel create an open vista to the historic façade. The rolling topography and pathways pick up again on the east edge of the site, where the Moon Kugel is also relocated. A collection of Virginia native evergreen trees bookends the site to the east and the west. Along the Broad Street edge, an allee of native trees creates both a walkway and a seating area, raised about 30” above the level of the sidewalk. Small plazas at each street intersection are marked with entry monuments and create welcoming points into the site. The project is being developed in coordination with the City’s redesign of the sidewalks along Broad Street.

BON SECOURS ST. FRANCIS MEDICAL CENTER | CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VA St. Francis Medical Center is a 45-acre medical campus that comprises a 130-bed acute care hospital, an attached six-story medical office building and two freestanding medical office buildings. In lieu of a sea of asphalt as the first thing greeting hospital guests, the team at HG created a site plan that features a tree-lined boulevard with pedestrian-scale lighting, and a series of smaller parking lots on either side, making the walk from the car the first in a series of soothing, calming measures designed to welcome guests. At the entry, a large central fountain and vine-covered pergolas soften the face of the hospital building. At the back of the hospital a sunken chapel garden is one of the signature features of the hospital. Nestled between the retaining wall for the parking lot 16 feet above, and the hospital building, this long, narrow, potentially-challenging space presented HG with an opportunity to create something spectacular. Long pergolas line either side of the garden, and a cast stone gazebo at one end not only creates a lovely focal point, but completes the garden which has become a popular site for weddings. We designed a reflecting pool and granite runnel water feature to add the soothing sights and sounds of running water, and our plant palette of mixed evergreens, deciduous shrubs and herbaceous perennials provides year-round interest. Both the front entry and the chapel garden contributed to the Medical Center being named America’s Most Beautiful Hospital by Soliant Health in 2011. In making this distinction, organizers cited the landscaping that “welcomes patients and visitors to relax and regenerate.”

INNSBROOK OFFICE PARK Competition for corporate talent has increased, so when Highwoods Properties, purveyors of much of Innsbrook Office Park, decided to refresh and refurbish dated spaces, they contacted HG Design Studio to create sophisticated outdoor amenities that appeal and attract discriminating tenants. First in order was the aged signage at the corner of Cox Road and West Broad Street. HG sited a new sign concept and provided grading to elevate the sign in the median. By providing a 3D study of the intersection for future sign accent walls, the client was able to better express their entry vision. After completing base concept and planting plan, we coordinated with sign installer, irrigation, lighting and planting contractors to deliver the product. Phase two of the restoration consisted of creating an outdoor terrace plan for a 3,000 square foot rear deck at one of the office buildings in the park. (Approx. $350,000) Schematics and construction documents were prepared by HG, and we coordinated a structural review. Updated planting and enhanced pedestrian lighting were implemented, and were connected to existing trail system. The client then asked us to reconfigure the front entry drop off and add a plaza to complement the lobby renovation. Front entry area to be completed in Fall 2017. Highwoods II and the Saxon Building were part of the next phase of design updates. HG was tasked with renovating the entry and providing a parking study. A schematic study to renovate the main entry exterior into an urban plaza was an additional project for the client. As a result of working on time and budget with Highwoods, HG was referred to longtime tenant Markel, where we were commissioned to renovated the back amphitheater terrace to a more useable space that included an IPE deck and cable handrail. HG’s design provided more useable square footage to the rear terrace of the building by adding a floating deck over an existing sloped hillside. Updated planting and connections to the existing lakeside walk were instituted.

VIRGINIA TECH, DATA & DECISION SCIENCES BUILDING An inviting and distinctive exterior environment is envisioned for the Data & Decision Sciences Building. The building’s configuration creates several distinct spaces. The Commons Plaza on the south leads to the building’s front door and connects to the Student Commons within. It will support movement in and out of the building as well as creating a tree-shaded space for gathering. The new Multi-Modal Transit Facility to the south will be screened with plantings and a seat wall. On the north side of the building, another plaza connects to the second level of the Student Commons. An organic landscape of tree-planted berms and curving, accessible pathways screens this space while connecting to Prices Fork Road. To the east, a courtyard space created by the two wings of the building will be used both for passage as well as a quiet space for respite. The western edge of the project will have a temporary condition of steep slopes between the D&DS building and the parking lot which will remain until the construction of Pamplin Hall in the future. Hardscape materials will harmonize with the surrounding campus design, to include concrete pathways, Hokie Stone walls, and some special paving at key locations. The planting design approach relies on native and naturalized plants as well as drought tolerant species, all of which will thrive with no supplemental irrigation after initial establishment. Plant selections have been made based on their seasonal impact and visual interest for any given time of year.

CHICKAHOMINY FALLS | HANOVER COUNTY, VA HG Design Studio is proud to have been a part of planning this unique community. Dave Gerstenmaier created a master plan that includes 400 single-family units on 200 acres with a twist on its farmland roots. Chickahominy Falls is the Richmond area’s first neighborhood that speaks to a farm-to-table and alternative trends to the conventional neighborhood template. Empty nesters and retirees are attracted to a concept that will blend suburban clubhouse living with professionally managed organic farming, producing fresh, local, healthy fruits, veggies, and foods while creating a wonderful and unique outdoor amenity for the residents. Farm-lets or Pocket-Gardens will be dotted throughout the neighborhood, alongside other HG designs around the clubhouse, pool, green spaces and play spaces. The community is planned for the 55+ age group with opportunities to experience and enjoy outdoor activities and healthier choices of food. HG Design Studio assisted with all levels of initial planning and zoning for the neighborhood and its adjacent 10-acre farm, along with designing open and gathering outdoor spaces, walking trails, bike trails around the river and shared spaces. HG connected the developer with a national organic farming vendor and worked with the natural topography of the site for placemaking of the gardens. With multiple wetland areas cutting up the site, a grid style development would not work. Our designers let the land dictate where our sections lines would be. Once sections were defined, we could work with the grades to see what type of product would best work in those areas. The wetlands and other low-lying areas became ideal areas for walking trails that connect the whole project together. HG also provided landscape and lighting plans for each section and worked with the team to design and implement a sales and marketing center on the farm. For Cornerstone Development, a commitment to environmental preservation and sustainability is important, so HG is tasked with adhering to the low-impact community plan. State-of-the-art conservation practices will protect mature hardwoods, watersheds and the river.

COSTAR HEADQUARTERS (FORMERLY WESTROCK) | RICHMOND, VA As one of only three buildings in the United States to receive the highest Green Globes rating of four globes from the Green Building Initiative, the MeadWestVaco headquarters building at Foundry Park reflects the company’s commitment to sustainability. The project includes sustainable landscape strategies such as intensive and extensive vegetative roofs, drip irrigation, native plants, and light colored paving. The design team was faced with the challenge of creating an entrance plaza on top of the underground parking structure. The solution was to reduce the amount of hardscape by introducing intensive and semi intensive vegetative roof gardens. These roof gardens continue onto the roof terrace where an extensive vegetative roof is the foreground for panoramic views of the James River. The building sits on a site that slopes more than thirty feet towards the river. The landscape architects worked closely with the architect to create parallel stairs inside and outside the building that lead from the lobby level to the cafeteria and dining terrace and then down to the fitness center at street level. The dining terrace is terraced into the hillside with stone walls that are partially constructed of stone that was salvaged from the site. The curved edges are in contrast to the straight lines of the building and are a reminder of the Kanawha canal which used to cross a portion of the site. The hillside is planted with a mix of native plants including Switchgrass, River Birch, Sycamores, Serviceberry and Dogwood.

CAPITOL SQUARE MASTER PLAN | RICHMOND, VA HG Design Studio revised and updated the Master Plan for the Capitol Grounds which feature the Capitol building, a National Historic Landmark designed by Thomas Jefferson. Capitol Square serves a significant dual role as the historic seat of state government as well as being an urban oasis in downtown Richmond. The project team had to balance several competing interests in the master plan from historic preservationists, to sustainability activists, to state legislators. We established guidelines for daily, weekly and ongoing maintenance; future landscape and hardscape installations; and addressing safety concerns and citizen complaints. We created recommendations for access, circulation and parking; hardscape materials; site elements; vegetation and topography, all within the context of preserving the prominent features of this important and historic site. We also gave consideration to future maintenance with a focus on less labor-intensive practices.

BON SECOURS CENTER FOR HEALTHY LIVING | RICHMOND, VA This urban renewal project creates a welcoming presence in one of Richmond’s most at-risk areas. Renovated in conjunction with longtime client, Bon Secours, who has operated a community hospital in the East End of Richmond for decades, the project demonstrates the commitment to investing in this neighborhood near some of the city’s most vulnerable populations. HG Design Studio was tasked with transforming a decayed, abandoned and blighted site into a pedestrian friendly outdoor park, with benches (which are almost always full) and a reuse of the gas station canopy to provide shade to benches and tables below. This adaptive reuse project converted a dilapidated gas station, Parsley’s, into a place where members of the community can meet, chat, and enjoy a cup of coffee. The center also gives employees of the Bon Secours Richmond Community Hospital – located just across the street – a place to take a break and engage with members of the community. Previously, there was nowhere to wander outside the hospital walls. A new 1,800 square foot addition will be home to the Front Porch Café, a coffee shop operated by Church Hill Activities and Tutoring (CHAT) to provide job training and build life skills for young adults in the area, many of whom lack older adult role models. HG Design Studio is honored to be part of the design and construction team that benefits the community and is spurring more economic development in the area.

UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND, QUEALLY CENTER FOR ADMISSIONS HG was involved with the coordination of siting the UR Admissions Center building, which proved to be a challenging exercise. This now beautiful corner lot was previously a dump site, sitting against a rocky hillside slope. HG designed the Front Entry Approach and Entry Plaza, lined with benches and ornamental trees, which guides you from UR Drive towards the main entry tower paved with bluestone. We also designed the West Courtyard, with the goal in mind that it will serve as an outdoor “room.” Significant design elements in this courtyard include the bluestone paved walkways, brick and low fountain seat walls, as well as elevated hornbeam hedges that are situated behind the fountain to provide a beautiful green backdrop.
