Providence Willamette Falls

Abstract

Providence Health & Services Willamette Falls Medical Center is a not-for-profit acute care facility offering services like primary care and outpatient physical therapy. Shapiro Didway developed a sustainable landscape planting plan with storm water and native plantings to support the new facility, while also adhering to the Providence Campus Master Plan and Oregon City standards. Our overall landscape design also includes sitewide ADA accessibility, hardscape, and site furnishings like the entry planters with seating.

We wrote to the City to recommend the use of tall grasses place of shrubs because of the visual appeal that would best fit within the climate, and it would fill in more naturally.

Hospital with hardscape

Providence was a very geometric installation from a birds-eye perspective, almost like creating a painting or art piece.

The site provided the unique opportunity to plan large sequoia trees in the parking islands.
