The students’ presentations were the culmination of an academic exercise coordinated by Martin Gold, director of the School of Architecture, Mary Padua, associate professor of landscape architecture, Pierce Jones, Extension Program leader at the Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, and Kathleen Ruppert, extension scientist at the Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering.

Under the direction of these instructors, students spent a semester designing how Plum Creek might conserve and develop its lands near Gainesville, using strategies to integrate local food into a master planned community development.
