McNICHOLS ECO-MESH® CASE STUDY
STREET-SCAPE RENOVATION
TAMPA, FLORIDA
THE HOLE OBJECTIVE
In many cities, the beautifi cation of downtown pedestrian areas is an
aesthetic decision and an economical solution. The City of Tampa,
Florida saw McNICHOLS ECO-MESH® as an answer to both.
THE HOLE SOLUTION
In an attempt to create a pedestrian-friendly street with a focus on
incorporating public art, roughly $1.2 million was invested in a downtown
Tampa corridor spanning three city blocks. Susan Gott, commissioned by
the City of Tampa, working with Graham-Booth Landscape Architecture,
designed and created glass art as part of the streetscape renovation.
Her artwork consists of multiple panels of cast-glass tiles incorporated
into vertical panels with a series of ECO-MESH® panels. The
large-scale cast-glass panels stand 8-½ feet tall and line the street
as part of the Promenade of the Arts, off ering glimpses of the
city’s narrative embedded in glass.
