Matthews Street Garage at Texas State University, San Marcos, Texas

---

Garcia Design, Inc. provided landscape architecture services for the development of a new 1300-space garage that included outdoor spaces with brick-paved walkways, shade and buffer vegetation, plant beds for erosion control, pedestrian-scale lighting, and seating areas. Emphasis was placed on integrating pedestrian routes with existing campus traffic. The site contains a change in elevation of 40 feet. The simple streetscape in response to the grade changes, driveways, architectural design, and student pedestrian traffic allows for maximum safety and pedestrian comfort.
