McGregor Reflecting Pool and Sculpture Garden

McGregor Reflecting Pool and Sculpture Garden

Wayne State University
Detroit, Michigan

Our rehabilitation of the McGregor reflecting pool celebrates Minoru Yamasaki’s character-defining details, renewing a prominent campus centerpiece for students and visitors to enjoy. Restoring the pool while improving performance, we reestablished the purity of the original design, ensuring accessibility, functionality, and aesthetic longevity.

Utilizing advanced laser scanning technology, our team meticulously and precisely managed the deconstructing and reconstructing of each boulder and sculpture ensuring Yamasaki‘s original design intent. Students relish the tranquility of the sculpture garden and reflecting pool in between the hustle and bustle of classes, while community members and visitors attend special events and take tours among the prized, historic landmark.

A Campus Oasis
I believe that Yama would be totally pleased…To have the beauty now faithfully restored by Wayne State would be a remarkable joy for him.
