When The Leadership Louisville Center, a non-profit organization dedicated to developing the region’s leaders, moved to a historic building on Main Street, they were only missing one thing: outdoor space. The small pedestrian alley in the back was sandwiched between the existing building and the city’s flood wall. Leadership Louisville called on Gresham Smith to navigate the overgrown green space and create a flexible area for programming and community events. The result? A vibrant outdoor gathering space with views of the Ohio River.
