Keely Anderson Landscape Architecture Portfolio
WHO I AM... Keely Anderson graduated with a Bachelors from the College of Architecture’s Landscape Architecture Program (LAAB Accredited) at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. She is an awardwinning student who has traveled abroad to the Galapagos Islands which involved service learning to develop the Pelican Bay Waterfront: Contagion to Community Sanctuary for Puerto Ayora and received awards for her work. There her team and she won a Planning & Analysis Award as well as a Student Honor Award. She has also done research with a professor under a UCARE to identify landscape performance metrics for evaluating the economical, ecological, & social & cultural benefits of constructed landscapes. She specifically looked at brownfields and how they could be redeveloped to better a community. She pursued a minor in Fisheries and Wildlife. She has a passion for plants and has gained a vast amount of knowledge and work experience being employed at Campbell’s Nursery currently.

Faculty: Catherine De Almeida
In the Summer of 2017, I was awarded a student research grant with professor Catherine De Almeida (UCARE). I had the opportunity to do research that involved identifying the landscape performance metrics for evaluating the economical, ecological, and social and cultural benefits of constructed brownfields. A brownfield once was a former industrial or commercial site where there could be environmental contamination making it difficult for future use. A brownfield is essentially a site that nobody has a desire to want to go there because it could be contaminated with lead or anything else that could be harmful.

Preserved Forest
I collected an assortment of different brownfields throughout the United States varying in sizes and shapes. I looked at how certain projects cleaned up the brownfield and I saw what changes the designers made to make the space available to the people. This helped me gather the knowledge to design within a brownfield. 6

Environmental: Population of fish stabilizes. Economical: Fishing in a sustainable way will bring in a good profit. Social: People can go out and enjoy the wildlife.
Environmental: Reduces heat island effect. Economical: Reduces cost by using less energy for heating and cooling. Social: Provides an educational opportunity for people.
Rain Garden
Environmental: Provides a santuary for ecosystem. Economical: Stores rainwater. Social: Provides an educational opportunity.
Environmental: Provides a stable ecosystem. Economical: Harvest wood in a sustainable way that will bring in a good profit. Social: Provides for present and future generations.
Environmental: Made of recycled materials. Water seeps through cracks. Economical: Requires fewer repairs and has a longer lifespan. Runoff reduced. Social: Teach the importance of reducing storm-water runoff.
Soil Remediation Berm
Environmental: Clears up an area that could harm the wildlife there. Economical: Cheaper to relocate on site then it is to move the contaminated soil to another site. Social: Provides a nice berm for people to sit on and children to play on.
Silva Cells
Environmental: Trees last longer and storm-water reduced Economical: Trees don’t need replaced. Social: Bigger trees provide shade for people to gather and sit around them.

RUSHVILLE CHARETTE INTERDISCIPLINARY DESIGN; RUSHVILLE, NEBRASKA LARC 311 Spring 2018 Faculty: Kim Wilson & Jeff Day
Landscape architecture 3rd year students teamed up with two architecture master students to help create an outdoor public space for the community outside a grocery store the master students helped redesign in Rushville, Nebraska. My team and I wanted to create a public space that was flexible in all kinds of scenarios. The main aspect was having a wall that you can open and close. When the community comes together for a farmer’s market you can easily open the wall to create multiple stalls for people to place their products in. However, if the community decides to have a movie night they can easily close the wall and project the movie on the building. We also incorporated a community garden that way the community could sell the produce at the farmer’s market. There is also a little grove of the Nebraska native Prairie Gold Aspen to provide shade if it gets too hot for people. Site Plan 10

HARRINGTON PARK EDUCATION ABROAD LONDON 2019 LARC 411 Spring 2019 Faculty: Brain Kelly
The city of London needs a space that will bring the community together, engage everyone while being sustainable. One group in particular that has been on the rise recently is the urban nomad. A urban nomad’s life is constantly on the go and constantly changing. They are workers that transplant themselves into urban environment because of a career. An urban nomad needs a space designed for them. That is why designing a landscape that is constantly changing throughout the day, the month, and even the seasons will help the city and even individuals understand who urban nomads truly are. The landscape will have a nomadic personality like the user who will be visiting it. Three precedents have been chosen to study throughout the day: Kyoto Garden in Holland Park, The Serpentine in Hyde Park, and Trafalgar Square. Each project is completely different from each other yet they draw people into them. I want to know if the shape of my precedent dictates the movement. 14

CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS P STREET PLAZA; LINCOLN, NEBRASKA LARC 330 Fall 2017 Faculty: Brad Swerczek
The construction documents show a previous project I designed in downtown Lincoln, Nebraska in the Spring of 2017. The project was designed to help the Lincoln bat population thrive and prosper. The goal of the project was to get people educated on the importance of bats species and how they are helpful to ecosystem. Bats are an important part of the ecosystem and without them some plants would not be pollinated. Bats also manage to keep the insect numbers down. Creating a space where people can observe bats and learn about them was the ultimate goal for the Urban Sanctuary for P Street. This project shows a rendered site plan of the Urban Sanctuary created for bats and people. This project also shows the site material plan and two pages of the details that went into making the design.

WORK EXPERIENCE CAMPBELL’S NURSERY; LINCOLN, NEBRASKA Campbell’s Nursery Spring 2017 Manager: Timothy Duncan I have been working for Campbell’s Nursery & Garden Center since Spring of 2017 as a Nurseryman. As a Nurseryman I am required to give in-depth plant knowledge to customers. This job has taught me effective communication skills to assure customers get what they need. I have multiple customers call or come in with plant samplings that I identify the type tree or shrub they have. Customers also bring in a sample of fungus or insect damage that I can identify. I interned with the landscape designers over a Summer where I created basemaps of clients houses and collaborated with the designers with planting design.
Going Out in the Field
I have aided with customer designs as well as create different plantings based on season, species, and conditions. Not only do I have to create plantings for customers, I am required to overlook plant materials and make sure everything is running smoothly. I manage everyday greenhouse tasks such as watering plants, designing planters, and making sure everything looks accordingly. Getting a Basemap off GIS 22
