LAND3 Studio collaborated with the team of Hoefer Welker Architects, US Federal Properties and Jacobsen Contactors, to compete for and win the design for the Veteran’s Affairs Hospital in Colorado Springs. LAND3’s sustainable landscape concept drew inspiration from the Rocky Mountain Front Range, incorporating rolling hills of naturalized turf, artwork, and tree allees creating a park-like setting. An 800 linear foot landscape corridor named “Garden of the Gods” embraces the primary elevation of the building and utilizes turf berms, decorative rock swales, native grass massing and Colorado Red Stone boulders to reference the namesake park just outside the city limits.

VA Colorado Springs was awarded LEED Silver status.
