In 1976 Laurie Olin and fellow faculty member Bob Hanna established the firm Hanna/Olin in Philadelphia. Their goal was to create an atelier environment for comprehensive landscape design. Their first project was a pastoral office park for the Johnson & Johnson Baby Products Corporate Center with I.M. Pei & Partners near Princeton, New Jersey. This was followed by a series of projects that reshaped public spaces both in the U.S. and abroad. These projects include: the Landscape Development Plan for the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia (1977); Battery Park City, New York (1980-1985); the 16th Street Transitway Mall, Denver (1981-1985); Bryant Park, New York (1986-1991); and Canary Wharf, (1985-2000) and Bishopsgate, (1985-86,) in London, England
