(L to R) Landscape Architect Leigh Ann Campbell and Library and Archives Manager Rachel Lerner

Each year, OLIN celebrates the holidays with an art show featuring original pieces created by members of the staff. The event is an opportunity for individuals to showcase their talents outside of the landscape architecture and urban design. The 2008 show featured a variety of mediums including sculpture, knitting, painting and photography.

A.J. Celebrezze Federal Building Plaza in Cleveland

OLIN’s plaza for the A.J. Celebrezze Federal Building in Cleveland, OH has been selected to receive a Citation for Landscape Architecture from the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA). According to Principal-in-Charge Lucinda Sanders, the project was an opportunity to balance the need to create a safe plaza for a federal building in the post 9/11 era with the desire to create welcoming spaces porous enough for public use. To most fully realize the potential of the challenging site exposed to the winds of Lake Erie, OLIN and Fleischman Architects collaborated with wind consultant Buro Happold, lighting designer L’Observatoire International, artist Pae White and engineer Desman Associates to create a place that will soon become one of the most popular destinations in downtown Cleveland.

OLIN is pleased to announce the appointment of Hallie Boyce, Skip Graffam, Chris Hanley and Richard Newton to partner. The leaders of OLIN are committed to the inventive and responsible creation of a more environmentally, socially and economically sustainable world.
