Tisch Park is the central green space in the East End plan. The landscape design introduces a much greater diversity of plants than were perviously on-site, and the new allee of trees will provide shade as they grow, while maintaining the focus on historic Brokkings Hall.

Designed by Cope and Stewardson in 1900, the Danforth Campus at Washington Univeristy in St. Louis is defined by Collegiate Gothic buildings, landscape quadrangles, and pathways that encourage academic connections in a beautiful park-like setting. Over time, Danforth’s East End of campus had become plagued by roads and parking lots, interrupting this original planning vision. in 2014, Washington University embarked on a major campaign to transform the East End into a vibrant and inviting gateway to the university.
Work with BNIM, MVLA delivered the East End master plan in 2014.
Kieran Timberlak, Moore Ruble Yudell, and Perkins Eastman joined in this capital campaign, which is comleted in 2019.
