Franklin Battlefield Master Plan Franklin, Tennessee City of Franklin, Tennessee On November 30, 1864, Confederate and Union forces engaged in one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War which would ultimately hasten the end of the war. The City of Franklin retained JMA to prepare a master plan for the battlefield based on an understanding of the site’s history and condition at the time of the battle and its existing resources. JMA also helped prepare construction documents to realize the master plan, including interior roadways based on historic traces, interpretive pathway systems, restoration of historic vegetation and walls, and development of visitor facilities. |

Riverside Park Master Plan Lynchburg, Virginia Lynchburg Parks and Recreation Riverside Park was established in 1922 above the James River in Lynchburg, Virginia. Overlooks, shelters, walls, roadways, trails, plantings, and a swimming pool were developed during and after the Depression. Reflecting local social conditions in 1961, the city closed the pool rather than allow racial integration. Afterwards, the park became a focus of events organized by the African-American community called “Black Liberation Days.” JMA worked closely with Parks & Recreation, stakeholders, and the general public to facilitate meetings and forums which solicited public input for a Master Plan that reflects this history. The plan offers guidelines for improvements to address contemporary needs. |

University of Virginia Pavilion Alleys Historic Landscape Study Charlottesville, Virginia University of Virginia Thomas Jefferson’s “Academical Village,” a World Heritage Site at the University of Virginia, was designed as a series of Greek Revival pavilions linked by colonnades surrounding a linear green space, called the Lawn, which terminates at the Rotunda. Gardens behind the pavilions are enclosed by serpentine brick walls. Pavilion Alleys allow circulation between the gardens from the colonnade to parallel ranges of student rooms. Based on extensive historic research on alignment, materials, and furnishings, JMA prepared schematic designs for improvements in these passages and also provided consultation on the model renovation of one of the alleys to guide future work. JMA received a Merit Award from the Virginia Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects for this study. |

BVH engaged JMA to prepare a Cultural Landscape Report for this National Historic Site. As part of the study, treatment recommendations and design guidelines for preserving the setting of these events were proposed on the basis of research and analysis of the school grounds and surrounding residential neighborhood. |
