Design Collective was hired to create a vibrant, pedestrian- and transit-oriented, mixed-use district that seamlessly connects the University of Maryland campus, Route 1, downtown College Park, and area destinations, including adjacent neighborhoods, M Square and the Metro. The design team will support the University’s efforts to deliver a sustainable, smart-growth project emphasizing compact development, public transportation, bike and pedestrian connections to act as a socioeconomic and urban design catalyst for the revitalization of College Park and the Route 1 Corridor. Master planning is currently underway and the first buildings are scheduled to be completed in 2013.
