Gym Phase 1 Artists’ Backyard: North Entry
As a sustainable site design development, this project was designed and constructed to provide an environmentally innovative front yard in the campus. The integrated and innovative methods were employed creatively in this project to solve critical environmental issues and, most significantly, generate the value-added benefits of recreation, restoration, and education. These methods take many forms, including recycled materials, natural drainage systems, life-cycle assessments, carbon footprinting, cisterns, green roofs, and rain gardens.
PROJECT SCHEDULE
In this project, new patio, brick path and furniture were built to provide gathering space and more friendly entrance. Based on the vital flooding issue on the site, a series of methods of stormwater management and Low Impact Development were applied in the design.
Concept Sketches & Three Design Alternatives
This studio operates as service-learning course. Service-learning projects put students in contact with groups and individuals who have a vested interest in a given locale, such as the property owner(s), daily users, and neighboring residents to name a few. Direct interaction with stakeholders allows students to better comprehend the complexities of creating safe, healthy, and enjoyable environments. Similarly, engagement with informed and enthusiastic students serves to educate stakeholders about the important role their environmental surroundings play in their daily lives.

Solution:
Apply permeable paving at the entrance of building and reduce patio area to help with positive drainage.
Problem: High elevation of the existing catch basins is an issue to allow water to flow to them. Problem: Water end ponding along the building.
up
