Building from an existing campus framework plan, KMDG transformed three primary campus cores, which have, in the past two decades, become overrun with cars rendering the campus out of sync with its agricultural hilltop setting. Set as a top priority by the school’s President, the team is using long-needed subsurface utility work as the impetus to transform the surfaces of these three campus roads into pedestrian-scaled spaces that invite gathering and interaction by students, faculty, and staff. Pressured by the academic schedule, design and construction processes happened on very efficient and tight timelines, requiring a thoughtful design and detailing strategy. Phase 1, Runnals Walk, was completed in the summer of 2019, and phase 2, Bixler Walk, was completed in 2022.
