Landscape design 'clients' sought for senior design students

The nationally recognized Landscape Design and Contracting program is once again seeking individuals to partner with our Senior Design students. Our capstone class- Intensive Senior Design, pairs students with "clients" which are seeking landscape designs for their residences.

The following opportunity exists:
Students will concentrate on larger/more complex projects, typically larger than 10,000 square feet and up to multiple acreage properties. Extremely challenging smaller projects may also be included in this category. These projects will require design challenges which may include slope/drainage issues, irrigation, water features, etc. Each set of plans will be created specifically for the client's needs and requirements. Additionally, detailed construction plans will be created.

Multiple meetings are required between the client and the student to ensure a desired outcome. These plans can be used for clients to install their own landscapes or can be submitted to professional landscape contractors for installation. All projects are professor reviewed and critiqued in class.

Expected donations - $600

Students may seek travel reimbursement for projects beyond the Fort Collins area. Additionally students will seek reimbursement for prints, etc.
All donations are used for program development, including sending Landscape Design and Contracting students to a national career fair and competition.

If you are interested please contact me ASAP with a detailed description of your project including size, new construction or renovation, desired elements, address, contact information, etc. Students will contact you in a few weeks.
