The municipal center was chosen by the National Landscape Architecture Foundation as a model of sustainable landscape design thanks to such features as its green roof, rain gardens and permeable pavement.
Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign are conducting a survey, which is posted at www.surveymonkey.com/s/Y82M27G through July 19. Adult visitors, employees, as well as developers and builders in Washtenaw County who visit the Ann Arbor Municipal Center and observe its landscaping, are invited to participate in the online survey.
The purpose of the survey is to help understand ways that landscape design can improve the environmental quality of public spaces.
