比尔和梅林达盖茨基金会校区位于西雅图市中心，被设计作为全球工作和对话的一个当地的场所。 从历史上看，校园的城市遗址是湿地里的黑暗沼泽地。 这一自然历史成为振兴该遗址的跳板，随着时间的推移，该遗址已经严重退化并与邻近的社区隔离开来。
Located in downtown Seattle, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Campus is designed as a locally grounded environment for global work and dialogue. Historically, the campus’s urban site was a dark-watered bog in a wetland meadow. This natural history became the springboard for revitalizing the site, which over time had become badly degraded and isolated from adjacent neighborhoods.
为了将校园融入周围密集的社区，一些景观特征（包括步行道和水岸）与街道网络和相邻建筑物对齐。 一个内部庭院“漂浮”在种植着当地芦苇的雨水花园中，校园里种植了乡土植物和可食用的植物，包括蓝莓和大叶枫。
雨水被绿色屋顶过滤，从铺砌区域引入一百万加仑的蓄水池。 实施这种新的水资源管理方法为城市流域的其他项目开辟了先例。 校园目前每年会收获330万加仑的雨水。
To integrate the campus into the dense surrounding neighborhoods, landscape features – including pathways and water edges – are aligned to the street grid and adjacent buildings. An internal courtyard ‘floats’ on rainwater gardens planted with native reeds, and the campus is planted with native and edible plants, including blueberries and Big Leaf Maples.
Rainwater is filtered by green roofs and directed from paved areas into a million-gallon cistern. Implementing this new approach to water stewardship set a precedent for other projects in urban watersheds. The campus is currently harvesting 3.3 million gallons of rainwater a year.
