Plan Overview

This senior capstone project addresses campus planning at the University of Washington Tacoma through a multifaceted approach that combines student engagement, sustainability, and interdisciplinary design. Key components include a student-led food accessibility campaign, a comprehensive redesign of pedestrian, bike, and ADA infrastructure, and a green stormwater proposal for the EPA RainWorks Challenge. Developed in collaboration with civil engineering students, the project integrates technical and urban design strategies to envision a more inclusive, resilient, and future-oriented campus environment.
