University of Arkansas, Little Rock

This master plan is unique in that the University requested WRT to address both the campus and community needs in the planning process. WRT assisted the University in conducting a community Visioning Session that included a diverse group of community residents, business leaders, and civic leaders to address issues, challenges and opportunities for a community revitalization. The resulting Vision Statement identified Coleman Creek, a somewhat neglected stream corridor cutting through campus, as the significant unifying feature: both the community and the campus leaderships began to recognize the environmental importance of this open space in the regional watershed and as a community and campus resource.
