ORLANDO, FL— Foster Conant & Associates was selected by HuntonBrady Architects to provide landscape architecture for the new Wesley Chapel Medical Center underway in Wesley Chapel, Fla.


Foster Conant is providing design, construction documents and construction observation for landscape, irrigation, hardscape, landscape lighting and site furnishings for the 51-acre site.

This phase of the medical complex is composed of a freestanding, three-story, 250,000-square-foot acute care hospital with 80 beds, diagnostic and treatment departments, and support services, a three-story, 100,650-square-foot medical office building, infrastructure and access roadways.

Plans call for the design of two healing garden spaces on the grounds of the complex. The amount of Foster Conant’s contract is undisclosed.

“We are currently in the concept design phase of this project,” said Foster Conant Principal Keith Oropeza, ASLA. “The construction observation portion of our contract will be scheduled into the overall construction of the access roadway and buildings.”
