A large pool covers the area and has two memorial gardens at the tower footprints. The gardens are connected by a bridge and each garden has a column for each victim who died at the World Trade Center; the names of the victims from Pennsylvania and the Pentagon are etched into a glass plaque in the bridge. Both designers are graduates of Cornell, with degrees in architecture.
