Beautiful Schools

A school doesn't have to have a beautiful green lawn, but if you're lucky enough to attend a campus designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, you're really in for a treat. Between 1857 and 1950, the landscape architecture firm founded by Frederick Law Olmsted designed 355 school and college campuses, and each combines natural beauty, artistry, and a practical approach to urban design.
