Project Description
The Mennonite Central Committee improvement and expansion program of its 8.5-acre campus includes four housing "pods," future apartments, a multi-level orientation center, accessible parking facilities and pedestrian pathways, innovative storm water management techniques, and non-traditional landscaping and site furnishings. Storm water management control facilities utilized constructed wetland areas and "Best Management Practices" to control and renovate the storm water runoff. Topographic conditions, existing woodlands and wetland areas and the location of the Campus within an already established Akron Borough neighborhood challenged the site design, calling for a "village context."
