The landscape improvement <br />effort led by Studio One Eleven fully utilizes the space through multi- <br />functional seating areas and a hardscape plaza with new lighting, <br />trees and drought tolerant planting design. The plaza includes a <br />concrete replica of the famous "Soapbox" Milk stood on to inspire <br />crowds when he spoke and was re -envisioned as an active gathering <br />space centered around a historic WPA mural. <br />Client: City of Long Beach <br />Contact: Christopher Koontz, Director of Community Development, <br />Christopher. koontz@longbeach.gov, (582) 570-6288 <br />Completed: 2017-2019 <br />Consultant Project Manager: Kirk Keller <br />M <br />
