Recently voted the world's top business school, the Harvard Business School is situated on the banks of the Charles River in Boston, MA. The school prides itself on its extensively landscaped campus, where stately elms arch over pedestrian streets, and art is carefully integrated into various garden areas.

Copley Wolff Design Group is involved in a number of planning, design, and horticultural consultation projects for HBS. One current project is the redesign of the campus's major vehicular entry at Gordon Road. This project involves the removal of existing entry elements, and the subsequent layout of walks, planting, lighting, and signage location.

In addition, CWDG has developed planting buffers between the school's large perimeter parking lot and an adjacent city street. To preserve the pedestrian civility of center campus, all cars are parked in this large lot behind the school; to preserve the integrity of the street edge, CWDG has designed a 20-foot wide buffer with trees, shrubs, and lawn.

Construction of Spangler Hall, the new student center designed by Robert A. M. Stern, will create a new campus quadrangle as well as planning opportunities for the HBS South Campus. CWDG developed planning studies for the South Campus to explore various open space and structure massing options available to the school.
