 An
important part of the Southwest expansion project is the campus beautification plan. A large expanse of manicured lawn spreads across the front of the property along Mill Plain Boulevard.
The parklike setting features flowing ribbons of plants and shrubs intertwined throughout the lawn. The ribbons feature a variety of perennial and annual plants to add an impressive array of color throughout the year.
The new landscape design will be open and inviting, offering a clear view of much of the campus.
Plans also call for a series of walking paths throughout the prooperty to encourage the public to meander through the area.

Some trees on the campus will be removed to make way for construction and for the safety of patients who arrive by Life Flight. As Southwest Washington’s largest trauma center, we must preserve this life-saving service. Trees will be removed from the south and west sides of the Medical Center campus.
The campus beautification plan will begin when construction nears completion.
