EXPERIENCE WITHIN

GREEN AREAS OF CAMPUS

Legacy Stand

The Legacy Stand pays homage to the intrinsic values of

Microsoft- consisting of trees that have been maintained

throughout the campus’s generation, as well as Lake Bill, which

represents both the history of the Microsoft community and

the region’s natural environment. The legacy stand ties

together people, environmental stewardship, and spaces for

innovation, amusement, and relaxation.

Meadows

The meadows serve to provide an experience with a variety of

uses: athletics, recreation, and special events. Flanked by forest

edges to the north and south, this space takes advantage of

the natural topography through a gentle stepping from the

higher elevation at the core of campus to the lower elevation

near the eastern wooded edge. The fields are viewed as

clearings in the imagined, dense forest landscape extending

from the east into the campus.

Forest Thread

Establishing a connection to the campus’s natural context, the

forest thread weaves a dense canopy of trees from the east,

throughout Sammamish Village, and dissipates into the more

regimented campus villages, as the landscaping likewise

becomes more orderly.
