Named for the annual encampments at the St. John’s Orphan Home, the park at the new ACC Highland Campus has transformed a section of the former Highland Mall parking lot into a public park. The graceful form of the event pavilion recalls the tented structures of the historic encampments. The installation of artistic lighting elements celebrates the site’s current purpose and ties this open space to Fontaine Plaza on the other side of campus. The plant palette and hardscape materials pull from native and endemic sources.
