SWA has been working with Stanford University for over

30 years on over 300 projects to reclaim the 100-year old

vision of Leland Stanford and Frederick Law Olmsted

through a series of campus improvement projects.

Integrating the university’s facilities needs with a long-

term landscape vision, the projects recover the campus’s

historic axes, open space patterns and juxtaposition of

formal landscape spaces with naturalistic landscapes

within the central campus. Working with the Stanford

Management Company, SWA also provided planning,

approval processing, and landscape services for the

Sand Hill Road Corridor projects including Stanford

West Senior Housing (now Vi Living), Stanford West

Apartments, expansion of the Stanford Shopping

Center, the Rosewood Sand Hill Hotel and Office

development and extension of Sand Hill Road, a major

roadway linking the university to the freeway system.
