St. John’s College is a private, liberal arts college that dates back to 1784 (and earlier as a preparatory school to 1696) located on 27 acres in downtown Annapolis. The campus overlooks College Creek, a tributary of the Severn River in the Chesapeake Bay and has a unique Great Books Program curriculum that focuses on the Western canon of literature. Project components included the landscape master plan that built on the college's extensive collection of native plants and developed strategies to improve outdoor classroom and reading spaces, create campus landscape zones, reduce stormwater runoff and strengthen views onto College Creek. Paul Josey, while working at Nelson Byrd Woltz, lead the landscape design portion of the master plan and later worked on the implementation of that plan. These projects included a restoration of the historical campus Quad, a new courtyard outside Humphreys Hall and new entry garden and courtyards associated with the Hodson House admissions building.
