Deciduous shrubs (burning bush) and ornamental grasses fronting on Washington Street are part of EWU\u2019s traditional landscape framework. Roos Field is located within this quadrant. The northern portion of the stadium bowl incorporates burning bush and other adapted plants in a traditional planting. Transitional areas between the parking lots and the Prairie Restoration Project reflect the some of the characteristics of the Low Impact Contemporary landscape. The Prairie Restoration Project is reflective of the Low Impact Habitat Restoration. While the project is in the initial stages, much of the 120+ acres will be converted from agriculture to Palouse Prairie habitat.\r\n\r\nThere are opportunities within this quadrant to enhance the Washington Street corridor starting at the north gateway to provide a better sense of arrival through strategic landscape plantings. Additionally, the prairie restoration character can be applied to small turf areas in order to bring the prairie into campus.

The landscape of the older residence halls is more traditional turf with limited foundation plantings and a mix of evergreen and deciduous trees.
