Finished in 2010, the large landscape package included plazas, gardens, volleyball courts and other active and passive recreational areas.

Intense layout work commenced in order to create naturalistic contours on a flat roof. Grading stakes were used to accurately create the designed contours. Grading quickly became the largest part of the project. Two art installations were included in the project-the French Curve to honor Posner, and a quote from the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein. Simple mass plantings of barberries, azaleas, boxwood, ilex and ivy create a colorful setting for the art works.

Eisler crews restored the beloved duck pond, including planting lilies and re-establishing historic paths around the pond. They participated in the award-winning restoration of the Gate House, an effort lead by Sota Construction, by re-grading the surrounding landscape, building stacked stone walls and installing fresh foundation and decorative plantings. Other work on campus included dealing with steep terrain, planting vegetative screens, laying brick donor walks, planting trees and installing new planting beds. We are proud to have had a role in maintaining one of our treasured Pittsburgh landscapes. Page 7 Eisler LANDSCAPE CONSTRUCTION • CONSULTATION • SITE WORK • LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE David L.

Lawrence Convention Center Green Roof Located in downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, David L. Lawrence the David L. Lawrence Convention Center was Convention Center the first “green” convention center in the world and was awarded the Gold LEED® certification by 1000 Ft. Duquesne Blvd., the US Green Building Council. With the addition of the green roof completed by Eisler Landscapes Pittsburgh, PA 15222 and Cuddy Roofing in 2011, this landmark building continues to be an inspiration for the future of building in our region and beyond. The roof plantings include many types of sedum and meadow plants. Drip irrigation lines were installed for plant establishment and can be used for maintenance, if needed. Eisler was honored to be involved in improving this great regional amenity. Page 9 Eisler LANDSCAPE CONSTRUCTION • CONSULTATION • SITE WORK • LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE Allegheny County Office Building Green Roof In 2009, Eisler Landscapes, in collaboration with Civil and Allegheny County Environmental Consultants, Inc., IDC Architects and Cuddy 4735 Butler Street Roofing, was selected to create a series of educational demonstration green roofs for the Allegheny County Office Pittsburgh, PA 15201 Building. Eisler Landscapes was responsible for the site analysis, landscape design and final master plan, as well as the installation and maintenance of the green roof. The project consisted of four separate types of green roofs; intensive, semi-intensive, extensive and an extensive tray system. The placement and orientation of these systems was based on the structural limitations of the building and existing roof structure. Existing environmental conditions such as sun exposure, wind, location and building facilities were also considered. More information about the roof, including real time performance data and monthly hydraulic reports can be found at the Allegheny County Website.

Eisler’s craftsmen created a custom copper splash Pittsburgh, PA 15213 block and fabricated the custom art piece. Standstone block edging and random bluestone paving were also installed to provide access to the roof for students and faculty. Plantings were selected for their hardiness and adapatibility for green roofs.

  • The One Northside Community Plan
    Strategy Guide No. 1 Sharing New Methods˙ to IMPACT Pittsburgh’s Neighborhoods innovative project report: THE ONE NORTHSIDE COMMUNITY PLAN Our mission is to support the people, organizations and partnerships committed to creating and maintaining thriving neighborhoods. We believe that Pittsburgh’s future is built upon strong neighborhoods and the good work happening on the ground. It is integral to our role as an advocate, collaborator and convener to lift up exemplary projects and share best practices in ways that advance better engagement and community-led decisions and ensure a better understanding of the processes that lead to success and positive impact on our neighborhoods. We share this story with you to inspire action and celebrate progress, and most importantly, to empower leaders and residents in other communities to actively ˙ shape the future of their neighborhoods. — Presley L. Gillespie President, Neighborhood Allies Neighborhood Strategy Guide || 1 innovative project report: From concept to consensus Upwards of 600 people braved the chill of an early December night in Pittsburgh last year to celebrate in the warmth inside Heinz Field, home of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Their reason for celebration had nothing to do with the exploits of the city’s beloved professional football team. A community plan was being unveiled for improving the quality of life in the city’s Northside neighborhoods around the stadium that the voices of several thousand residents and community stakeholders had shaped. And hopes were high that improvements in infrastructure, schools, employment and lives would be more broadly and quickly realized, as they had in other city neighborhoods where resources and revitalization were attracting investment and people.

  • The Manchester Neighborhood Plan
    The Manchester Neighborhood Plan Introduction & Methodology In the summer of 2009, the Manchester Citizens Corporation (MCC) Board of Directors partnered with Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation (PHLF) to commission a neighborhood planning process. The decision to undertake a planning process reflected a number of issues including the recognition that MCC’s existing planning documents were out of date with respect to reflecting the existing conditions in the neighborhood, and the desire to respond to increasing demolitions in Manchester in a proactive manner. MCC felt that the elements of a neighborhood wide strategy were embodied in the organization’s current development projects, but needed to be enhanced and articulated as part of a neighborhood planning process. MCC and PHLF desired to create a plan that is a dynamic rather than a static document. As a result, the planning process focused on establishing strategic principles and guidelines that would not change, even as the condition of individual parcels in the neighborhood changed. Although the Plan includes some parcel-specific recommendations, the plan is designed to focus more on overarching principles and guidelines. The Plan’s focus is on vacant and abandoned property. This is a critical issue as identified by Manchester residents and it is supported by data that indicate Manchester has a significant number of vacant properties. Vacant property poses a threat to public safety and the integrity of Manchester’s historic district. Dealing with the issue of vacant property in a systematic and well thought out manner is an objective of this Plan. The goals of this Plan relate to improving the physical and market conditions in the Manchester.
