Designed by acclaimed landscape architect Sadafumi Uchiyama, the garden is located behind Cottrell Hall and features a tiered waterfall and pond, a stone terrace and a Japanese-style pavilion made of local bald cypress. Walking paths weave through the garden and connect to the nearby Waterfall Garden. This garden is the newest addition to campus and was completed in the spring of 2026.
