From Olympic Venue to Baseball Field

Turner Field – Ahead of Its Time in Sustainability

It’s hard to believe that ten years has passed since Atlanta was host to the world with the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games! We see reminders of it everyday, when we drive by the Olympic Torch. But some may not realize that when they see a ball game at “The Ted” they are seeing Olympic history there, too.


     

Miles and Miles of Trails

For over ten years, Ecos has worked with the PATH Foundation on many of their multi-use trails in and around the metro Atlanta area. These multi-use trails are designed for biking, walking, jogging and skating. In the last two years alone, Ecos has contributed to over eight miles of completed trails, with over 30 more miles in the planning stage.

     

Hospital Site Design: Creating a Positive Experience from the Start

When a parent brings a child with a broken arm into a hospital facility, the last thing on the parent’s mind is how the facility was designed. But creating an environment that allows easy access for cars, pedestrians and emergency vehicles while at the same time addressing such natural issues as stormwater drainage is foremost in the minds of the landscape architects at Ecos who design such facilities.

     

Current Projects

Ecos has been involved in a variety of projects, including hospitals, master planning and urban design. Take a look and see what we've been up to!
