Digging Into UMass Boston's Transformational Utility, Landscape, and Roadway Project

By: Dorothy F. Renaghan, Ian Scherling, James Velleman

Abstract: The University of Massachusetts Boston was an insular, car-centric campus built on a former landfill. Now, it is becoming an inviting and pedestrian friendly campus, updated for the 21st century. We'll describe the massive Utility Corridor and Roadway Relocation project that transformed the campus and share lessons learned from implementing a master plan—with focus on landscape design, multi-modal access and circulation, sustainability, and new utilities—while maintaining an occupied campus on an environmentally unique oceanside site.

Too Much and Not Enough

This state university, through transparency and inclusive, two-way communication, kept student needs at the forefront when planning for right-sized spaces.

They used a highly inclusive process to create a CFP that guided strategic decisions and shifted institutional culture.
