Rethink College Park

Acting university Vice President of Administrative Affairs Frank Brewer informed us late last week that he expects an announcement of the university’s development partner for East Campus by this week’s end. East Campus has been looming over our project (this website) for the entire school year and we’re eagerly awaiting the announcement and preliminary concept plans. This project may very well surpass in scope all the other development in College Park combined.

We’re very pleased to hear that the administration is expecting a robust public input process to ensure the final product has both community buy-in and meets everyone’s expectations. What follows is a series of past concept plans for the East Campus site. Several of them were given to competing developers so they could build their proposed plans on various past ideas. This is especially true for plans produced during a 1999 Architecture Study. The East Campus project is apparently now expected to be denser than these images portray.
