Scope and Content

Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's unrealized landscape project for the Discovery Parks University of British Columbia's site in Vancouver, British Columbia. Created in 1979, Discovery Parks is an organization with the mission to accomodate scientific and technological research activities by building and renting research installations. Initially founded by the provincial government, Discovery Parks became self-governning and independant in 1990. The planned site was located at the corner of Westbrook Mall and 16th Avenue.

The project series only contains Oberlander's notes, documentation, correspondence with University of British Columbia and the University Endowment Lands.
