The University of Guelph has won a national award for its original 1965 campus master plan.
The Canadian Society of Landscape Architects named U of G as the winner or its 2017 Legacy Project Award. It recognizes landscape architecture projects that were forward-thinking for their time and had a lasting impact on Canada’s landscape.
