GV designed a long, thin, landscape that stretches between Oberlin’s new jazz building and three 1960s (Yamasaki) buildings. Architecture Critic, Stephen Litt, praised the project, for its series of “… superb public spaces, including a handsome ground-level plaza.” Kohl Plaza’s stepped terrain functions as a minimal stage set — for musical performances and those of everyday life.
