Project represents Zakery Steele’s experience under preivous employment. This project was not completed by Sue Steele Landscape Architecture, PLLC.
The University of Rochester’s Memorial Art Gallery undertook a transformation of its underutilized campus into a 14-acre outdoor sculpture park. The sculpture park is a publicly accessible designed landscape for the nearly 300,000 visitors to the gallery, serving as a showcase for public art and a gathering space for the community.
The project included four new artist commissions and the relocation of several significant sculptural works into the park – to be enjoyed by the public at their leisure with theintent of bringing the Gallery’s collections outdoors for all to enjoy. The park also serves as the grounds for the Memorial Art Gallery’s annual Clothesline Festival, a curated celebration of artists and performance.
While employed at Bayer Landscape Architecutre, Zakery Steele served as Project Manager for Phase 1, responsible for Design Development through construction administration phases, including client, contractor, and sub-consultant management. Zakery also served as Landscape Architect for Phase 2, including the design and construction phase management of the park around the newly acquired Albert Paley “Soliloquy” sculpture along Goodman Street and Construction Administration for the Gallery’s new Creative Workshop entry and parklet.
