The JCC + LBH Campus Open Space represents a unique opportunity to create a meaningful landscape expression that celebrates the community’s extensive programming and rich cultural significance. The design seeks to create a unique identity and civic role for the Campus while reinforcing the multigenerational community that will be using the space.
