Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's work for the renewal of Robson Square in Vancouver. This project series concerns work on Robson Square grounds starting from the mid 2000s to early 2010s to which Oberlander participated as landscape architect or consultaing landscape architect. Oberlander worked with Arthur Erickson on the earliest revitalisation projects, but also with other architectural firms, including Grout McTavish Architects. It includes revitisation works, such as sunken plaza revitalization, the Nelson Street Plaza revitalisation, addition of a 'grass wave' or a mound in 2008 for the North Plaza, renovations for the 2010 Vancouver Olympic and Paralympic Games, and Ice Rink Expansion and Revitalisation of Ice Rink Plaza. The project series contains predominantly textual records, including correspondence with client, architects, consultants and contractors, specifications, including landscape specifications, minutes of projects meetings, inspections reports and press clippings and articles on the revitalisation projects. The project is also documented through landscape drawings, such as planting plans, irrigation and grading plans, landscape sections, and details for planters. It also includes sets of building plans used as reference and digital photographs of planting and landscape maintenance. Project series comprises documents related to the preservation of Robson Square, including documentation, articles and clippings, and correspondence.
