The Roycroft Campus in East Aurora, NY was home to a significant cultural movement that influenced the nation. Author, lecturer, and entrepreneur Elbert Hubbard began to develop the Roycroft Campus in 1897. The Campus became a Mecca for master craftsmen and a gathering place for notable artists, authors, philosophers, and power brokers in U.S. history. The Campus, designated a National Historic Landmark district (NHL) in 1986, contains 14 structures including the Inn, the Chapel, the Print Shop, the Furniture Shop, and the Copper Shop, to name a few.

Fisher Associates is providing design services to improve drainage on the Historic Roycroft Campus in the Village of East Aurora. Fisher Associates is designing a new drainage system for the campus, which did not have any form of storm water collection. This project was designed in conjunction with a TEP project to reconstruct all the parking lots and walkways on the campus in the Village. The design includes storm water management techniques and the preparation of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan.

Beginning July 6th, as part of these projects Fisher Associates' Dr. Ann Morton and her team will be conducting a Phase III Archaeological Data Recovery on the National Landmark Campus prior to the parking lot reconstruction and drainage installation. Due to the uniqueness of the project and extensive renovation, the State Historic Office of Preservation is requiring this effort. Five areas of the campus have been selected for recovery of archaeological information related to the historic period of significance (1895-1938).
