INSTITUTIONAL

Endicott College- Standish Hall

ULC has worked on several projects for the beautiful seaside campus of Endicott College.  This new residence hall was completed in 2015 by Windover Construction.  Path layout and abundant native plantings complement the modern architecture of the building and visually link the various entries.

INSTITUTIONAL

Endicott College- Frates Hall

ULC has worked on several projects for the beautiful seaside campus of Endicott College; most recently designing the landscape and hardscape layout for the recently completed Peter Frates dormitory.  The front entry design includes sleek dark granite benches, which contrast with the lighter color scheme of the permeable plank style pavers.  A curvilinear paver terrace with granite benches and a low seat wall is centrally located to the new dormitory and existing adjacent residence halls.

PUBLIC PLAZA

Ellis Square Project

Working with Beverly Main Streets and other local stakeholders, ULC has developed a design that has been an important part of the revitalization of downtown Cabot Street.  The new plaza provides ample opportunities for outdoor concerts, public art, a new Vietnam Veteran’s memorial, and a place to just sit and relax. 

OFFICE

Nupath Inc.

Nupath is a non profit organization whose mission is to help adults living with disabilities lead fulfilling lives in their communities. 

For phase I, ULC provided a fresh new look for their home office. This phase focused on integrating a new serpentine paver walkway, lighting, and abundant plantings with a new front entry vestibule designed by PionArch

Playground

Shore Country Day School

Matthew Ulrich, then principal of Ulrich Bachand Landscape Architecture (UBLA) collaborated with the Playground Task Force on the design of an engaging, innovative, safe playground focusing on nature play and creative play features built of sustainable materials. The team explored using natural and sustainable materials such as landform, wood, wood structures, and stone integrated with traditional play structures such as swings, slides, and basketball. The playground provides opportunities for climbing, digging, and free play while being sensitive to the need for shade, adult visibility, and budget.

HEALTHCARE

Wentworth Douglass Hospital

Matthew Ulrich, then principal of Ulrich Bachand Landscape Architecture (UBLA), headed up this unique hospital project. Initially contracted to design a labyrinth as a break out area for hospital staff, feedback from the hospital board expanded UBLA’s project scope to include 3 distinct areas for use by staff, visitors, and conference attendees. While all of the spaces share unifying design elements such as wall materials and furniture, each has a unique sense of place, with plantings and paving materials setting the tone. A variety of colors and the introduction of art and sculpture enlivens the central public space while the labyrinth is encompassed by more dense screening materials to screen outside views and sounds.

Outdoor Pavilion Space

Atkinson Country Club

ULC was contracted by the Atkinson Country Club for the design of an outdoor pavilion space to be used for functions, and especially, weddings. An outdoor dining area adjacent to the indoor function hall is connected to the large, circular paver terrace by a graceful path system. This circular pergola and terrace is framed by lush plantings and offers stunning views to the fountain, pond, and golfcourse. This circular pergola and terrace is framed by lush plantings and offers stunning views to the golf course beyond.

ASSISTED LIVING

Seasons of Danvers

Matthew Ulrich, then principal with Ulrich Bachand Landscape Architecture (UBLA) headee up this assisted living project in Danvers. A former nursing facility that had been vacant for several years had fallen into a state of disrepair.  Working with JSA Architects, UBLA completely redesigned the outdoor space for this adaptive reuse project.  Now home to a cutting edge dementia care facility, the 'crown jewel' of the outdoor space is a large central landscaped courtyard. This space provides beautiful views from the interior, shaded structures, a walking loop and abundant plantings in a safe, enclosed environment.
