Design Focus

The UW Tacoma campus is ready for a new phase of growth guided by a thoughtful master plan. My design vision emphasizes a green connection that extends the iconic grand staircase northwest through the site, linking to the southwest multisport area, highlighting the ongoing partnership with a local multifamily housing developer. The plan prioritizes new housing, improved access, and mixed-use spaces while strengthening community ties, enhancing campus identity, and integrating seamlessly with surrounding neighborhoods.
