Kent State University - Pizzuti Park

LOCATION: Kent, OH

Behnke Landscape Architecture was commissioned to develop a comprehensive master plan for a new sculpture garden within the 34,000 square foot Pizzuti Park.

Following completion of the master plan, the project was advanced into Phase I by preparing detailed construction documents for the installation of the garden’s inaugural artwork, Tower of Snow, a 15-foot-tall bronze sculpture that serves as a focal point for the park. Phase I improvements included the design and coordination of new hardscape elements, planting and landscape enhancements, site lighting, and an irrigation system. Together, these improvements establish the framework for future sculpture installations while creating an inviting, accessible public space for visitors year-round.
