The Showcase at the Rochester Museum & Science Center (RMSC) provides a living laboratory, an outdoor classroom, and a real-life demonstration of how Green Infrastructure can contribute to water quality, community sustainability, and urban revitalization.

The showcase design was developed collaboratively with Barton & Loguidice (B&L) and RMSC staff, along with several key partners including Stormwater Coalition of Monroe County, Rochester Institute of Technology, and New York Water Environment Association. The project addresses a regional need for Green Infrastructure education. RMSC provides an ideal venue for the transfer of Green Infrastructure technologies. Members of the award-winning team include: Barton & Loguidice, CJS Architects, Gong Glass Works, Pike Construction, Broccolo Tree & Lawn Care and New Energy Works Timberframers.

The ASLA Award Program received a total of 24 professional entries distributed among five categories. This year’s entries were judged by a multi-disciplinary jury established by the Indiana Chapter ASLA.  According to Thomas M. Robinson, Senior Managing Landscape Architect with B&L, “It was truly meaningful to have the project recognized by a panel of design professionals.” He added, “We were privileged to guide a project that has the potential to leave a sustaining and positive impact on the community.”
