PEA Group provided Wayne County Community College District Downtown Campus (WCCCD) with an in-depth visual analysis of the existing site conditions and use of the property. Our team prepared a graphic report that diagrams the strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities of the existing site, to include:
- “Wow” factor assessment
- Indoor | outdoor relationships
- Impact of below-grade utilities | site features
- “Greening” opportunities
- Wayfinding, service functionality
- Parking capacity needs and student-staff co-mingling
- Gathering and multi-purpose event space opportunities
After receiving input on the guidelines, we prepared several concept sketches to convey options for campus improvement based on the site analysis. A final conceptual master plan and cost opinion illustrated the following proposed improvements:
- New pedestrian plaza
- Outdoor amenities
- Landscaping
- Signage
- Site furnishings
- Other features intended to improve the outdoor campus space
