Abstract

Conceived by Ellis Lawrence in his 1932 campus plan, the Knight Library Axis is an east-west circulation corridor between Kincaid and University Streets. A number of trees within the Axis are both historic and exceptional, the most notable being the Purple-Leaf European beech planted in 1900 near Susan Campbell Hall. Other notable historic features include the Knight Library’s terrace and the brick and cast stone terrace wall between Hendricks and Susan Campbell Hall.
