Salt Lake City Intermodal Hub. The facility encompasses the design
of a 35,000 sq ft terminal for Amtrak, Utah Transit Authority and
Greyhound passengers. The facility will include the retrofitting and
seismic upgrade of an existing warehouse facility that is 18,000 sq ft in

Our landscape architects understand this balance and our creation and encouragement of
these places brings measurable benefits to park users.
Plazas and streets, like all public places, bring people together and
bind communities. Our projects, whether they are transformed urban
zones or streetscapes, urge people of all ages to leave their footprints
at these places. They develop an identity that is unique to each site
and place and sets the framework for future development to ensure a
cohesive signature that will stand the test of time.
Heritage
Cultural landscapes are geographical areas that have been modified,
influenced or given meaning by people, and that have been formally
recognized for their heritage value. As landscape architects, our role
is to interpret and connect these valued land use histories through
contemporary design.
Public Art
The integration of character-defining elements and land patterns is
a process respecting spatial and visual relationships and traditional
practices. The resulting landscape preserves existing value and adds
meaning to the user experience.

This is one of the most adventurous and exciting new square designs
in the U.K. The creation of a successful, clean, open, shared, surface
space enables clear views to the famous castle which is a world
heritage site. This £3.5M scheme is deliberately simple in approach to
provide as uncluttered a setting as possible to the attractive Georgian
buildings surrounding the square as well as the castle. Natural slate
and granite materials from the region have been used.
The square is designed to take bus, coach, and service vehicles with
no road markings. Existing statues have been relocated within the

square and new lighting, signage, and furniture are installed. A vibrant
new fountain was placed adjacent to the war memorial and Victorian
church at the eastern end of the square to create a counter-point to
the mass of the castle.

shoreline assets and achieve multiple site goals.
IBI Group Landscape Architecture comprises a design team made
up of landscape architects, architects, engineers, planners, and
arborists. We have been collaborating on urban waterfronts and
shoreline restoration projects for over thirty-five years. Our waterfront
master plans are geared towards adding value to the surrounding
land, while integrating recreational trails, public spaces, parks,
and civic platemaking. We understand that visions for waterfronts
go beyond a simple, quick-fix, “beautification strategy” to create
aesthetically beautiful spaces. Our aim is not only to create world
class, ecologically sensitive waterfront showcase projects, but also
weave an implementation strategy, spur revitalization, and bring
economic benefits to the surrounding communities.
