View of the affects of construction of the University of Georgia Science Center on the landscape, showing construction materials littering cleared ground in front of a stand of trees. The development of the Science Center was directed by Dr. Joseph A. Williams. The Science Center is located on forty acres of wooded hillside on South Campus, overlooking Sanford Stadium. Nearly 2.5 million was spent on the landscaping for the Science Center, developed by Hubert B. Owens with assistance from Hideo Sasaki, a landscape architecture professor at Harvard University. Dr. Williams and several faculty members and architectural representatives visited twenty different institutions before any drawings were made. The Science Center was designed by three firms, Abreu and Robeson, Aeck Associates, and Toombs, Amisano and Wells, who merged for the project under the trade name Associated Architects for the University of Georgia Science Center.
