PROJECTS
Cathedral Campus
Led by a long-term master plan for the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston, WV, the Cathedral Campus has been reinvigorated with a new chancery building and elegant gardens that open the campus to the public and highlight the historic St. Joseph's Cathedral. The project established a more open and transparent face for the Diocese and created places of public ceremony and private contemplation within the city and the Catholic community. Read more here>>
Bakery Square 2.0 Master Plan
The Bakery Square 2.0 Master Plan is a mixed-use brownfield redevelopment that creates new neighborhood connections by replacing an obsolete, internally-focused school with a collection of public and private places. It blends commercial, residential, and green space with a focus on pedestrian and bike ways and traffic calming. The implementation of sustainable storm water infrastructure and bike connections has raised the standard for such installations in the Pittsburgh region. Read more here>>
Rivers Casino & Riverfront Park
The Rivers Casino and Riverfront Park has become an essential element of Pittsburgh’s riverfront renewal efforts, becoming a popular spot for events and creating a key trail connection as soon as it opened. Seizing the opportunity to engage a major entertainment venue directly with the riverfront, it shapes a dramatic blend of architecture and landscape as a public place. Beneath the buzz of musicians and cyclists, a new stormwater filtration system and large swaths of native plantings help to remediate this former brownfield site. Read more here>>
Larimer Neighborhood Vision Plan
The Larimer Vision Plan charts a way forward for a neighborhood striving to rebound from decades of disinvestment and depopulation. Developed through an extensive participatory process, the plan is based on converting vacancy from a liability to an asset, by reinventing Larimer as a sustainable neighborhood benchmark for the city. It uses new parks, urban agriculture and green building practices as community-building tools and has served as the framework for major new investments. Read more here>>
Dick's Sporting Goods Corporate Campus
This new corporate campus provides an expansive 670,000 SF workspace for employees along with amenities for athletics and leisure on a 116-acre site. Two courtyards at the heart of the complex provide visual connections to nature and outdoor gathering places. One side faces an existing stream valley, where a series of cascades incorporate stormwater overflows to supplement existing runoff. Read more here>>
Pittsburgh Downtown Plan
This plan, created in the late 1990s, was part of a broader movement to reorient the city towards its riverfronts, while reinforcing downtown's role as the center of the region. By combining activities and momentum around districts, such as the Cultural District and a Sports & Entertainment District on the North Shore, with new mixed-use initiatives, notably housing, the plan has engendered a true 24-hour city. The intentions of this plan are still felt today as institutions and developers implement corresponding projects across downtown's districts and riverfront. View the plan here>>
