Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape project for the renovations of Buchanan Building at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver. Oberlander worked on this project in 2004 with architectural firm Busby, Perkins + Will Architects. The project consisted in a redesign of the landscaping for the two coutyards separated by a central pavilion and surrounded by the four other blocks of the Buchanan Building. The concept was to created a courtyard for ceremonies and activities and a courtyard for scultpure and contemplation. The east courtyard, designed for sitting and contemplation, included paved pathways circulating amount patches of grass and flower beds, with seating alvoces under the preserved trees to add shade. The west courtyard, designed for activities, consisted in a large parved area with a curving edge along the east side of the courtyard to provide seating and includes a covered café and a water feature.

The project series contains sketches by Oberlander, design development drawings, including site plans, landscape plans and concept plans for the courtyards, and presentations drawings, including renderings. The project is also documented through correspondence, including correspondence with architects and consultants, research material, contract, financial documents, specifications, meeting notes, and photographs of existing landscaping.
