Constitution Gardens at the National Mall

MKA's civil site design of this historic park included the relocation of the Lockkeeper’s House, the addition of a new pavilion building, and the rejuvenation of the dilapidated lake, landscaping, and path system. Additionally, MKA's scope covered utility and vehicular servicing of the new pavilion building, strategic earthwork adjustments to create a visual and acoustic buffer from the adjacent roads and the remainder of the National Mall, and drainage improvements to support the landscaping and recharge the lake.  In addition, lake water systems will be redesigned to provide a recirculating, sustainable lake that will include passive and active water filtration systems.
