RDA Landscape Architecture has worked with Queens College since 2001 in upgrading and enhancing campus and athletic facility infrastructure. Projects have included the renovation of athletic fields, replacement of a 400-meter running track; a new alumni campus entrance; and four NYC DEP grant-funded plaza renovations that mitigate storm water runoff from the campus into NYC storm sewers through various Green Infrastructure concepts such as permeable pavers, rain gardens and bio-swales.
