Johns Hopkins University

The grounds of John Hopkins University were altered by the Olmsted Brothers in 1904. Working on the project for over 10 years, their plans emphasized green open space on the Baltimore campus. Their largest additions to the grounds included a horseshoe-shaped area known as the bowl, the plaza, and Wyman Park adjacent to campus. Their plan also called for the separation of the Homewood central campus into two parts. Their report from 1908 to the Homewood advisory board discussed updates to the entrance and seating at Hopkins Field and the grading of the school’s Botanical Gardens.
