 In
the fall of 2001, fifth-year landscape architecture students under
the direction of Professor George Dickie worked with the Downtown
State College Partnership (DSCP) to develop concepts for a masterplan
that explores the relationship between the Borough of State College
and the University Park Campus. The student analysis and design
proposals addressed several themes including:
- Traffic and pedestrian systems,
- Campus and town edges,
- Integration of land uses,
- Residential and commercial development,
- Future needs and growth, and
- Public open space versus campus open space.
The DSCP has used the design ideas to integrate into the overall
vision and strategic plan for downtown. In addition to final reports
and drawings, the students created a website for the project that
can be found at the following address (link to this) www.larch.psu.edu/larch451/.
