Spotlight Project: Spalding University Campus “Greening”
Spalding University is an urban university spread out over 5 city blocks within the heart of Louisville’s historic preservation district. The University is growing and has developed a campus masterplan to assist in its growth. SABAK, WILSON & LINGO, Inc. was tasked with reviewing the masterplan and developing a strategy to “Green Up” the campus, both visually with landscaping & other site amenities while also improving the site’s water quality utilizing Green Infrastructure techniques to eliminate storm water run-off to the existing combined sewer system.
Located at the center of campus, “Spalding Commons” is the largest and most prominent green space on campus, which includes an open green, a signature campus feature, an underground infiltration basin and bioswales. An existing alley was closed and converted into a “Green Alley”, which is made up of permeable pavers & native planting strips. This new green alley is the pedestrian spine that links the campus together. Phase 1 construction was completed in the Summer of 2013.

Spotlight Project: Norton Commons Market Park
Norton Commons is a 600-acre, traditional neighborhood development located on the Jefferson/Oldham County line. At the center of this neighborhood, and acting as the town center, is the Market Park. The Market Park was designed to accommodate market day events, public gatherings and more intimate social and leisure activities. The southern portion of the park has raised planters filled with seasonal color and ornamental trees which provide additional seating during market day events. At the end of these planters lies a flush labyrinth centered on a Marko Pogacnik lithopuncture stone titled “Out-Breathe”. A large 34’ diameter raised fountain basin, modeled after the Haller Fountain at St. James Court in Old Louisville, is situated in the center of the park. Within the basin sits a 15’ high custom cast iron fountain sculpture by Robinson Iron. A semi-circular seatwall surrounds the north portion of the fountain plaza and retains the large gathering lawn. A steel arbor relocated from the Rose Garden is situated at the north end of the lawn. Sabak, Wilson and Lingo, Inc. is currently serving as the landscape architects and engineers for this project.

Project deliverables include detailed plans, maps, and specifications for a menu of green management practices that meet the project requirements. At completion, the number of combined sewer overflows annually will be reduced from 55 to 8.SABAK, WILSON & LINGO, Inc. assisted the Wolf Pen Branch Neighborhood and Louisville Metro Planning and Design Services in the preparation of a Neighborhood Plan to guide future development within the study area. We coordinated monthly meetings with a Citizens Advisory Group of residents, business owners and other stakeholders appointed by the Mayor. In these meetings, we helped formulate a neighborhood “vision”, analyzed neighborhood opportunities and constraints, and formulated planning strategies directed toward preserving unique neighborhood resources such as winding tree covered roads and historic single family homesteads. We also involved the entire community by developing surveys and leading public meetings at different stages of the project to gain project consensus.
This plan focused on a 6.4 mile corridor that included all of Wolf Pen Branch Road, Mint Spring Branch Road and a portion of Chamberlain Lane. Guidelines focused on preserving the rural character of the roadway, low density development patterns, landscape recommendations and context-specific buffer treatments.
