TRACK AND FIELD OPTIONS
JFP were engaged to provide options for erosion control and seating to the amphitheatre surrounding the USC track and field. The design solution involved the installation of sandstone blocks that were used to flatten the existing bank gradient therefore reducing overland flow velocity and erosive affects. Sandstone blocks had the additional intent of providing seating opportunities to track and field spectators.

USC PATHWAY OPTIONS
Pathway options were provided to USC for routes not identified on their master planning documents. These routes included secondary access points connecting Sippy Downs Drive to the campus entry landscape areas and sports stadium. Chosen options were further refined to provide detailed design and construction working drawings
