This Master Plan redesigned the dormitory area to improve the quality of life for the residents by creating residential scale dorms and human scale interactive courtyards. By relocating parking to the perimeter, the area becomes pedestrian oriented. Recreational facilities and ramadas create activity nodes. The central dining facility with an outdoor eating plaza ensures the vitality of the core. The consolidation of the educational facilities, library, post office, thrift shop, and other support functions into one building creates and interactive community center. A three day planning charette involved over 50 people in the consensus building process. A large model of the site was constructed, which was used as a hands-on way to illustrate various design ideas and strategies.

To create the image above, plans for the redevelopment of the site were converted into Adobe Photoshop and rendered by color to indicate phasing. Shadow and detail were calculated and added. While it appeared three-dimensional, this is actually a two-dimensional flat rendering. The final computer rendering was them combined with an aerial photograph of the site to better illustrate what was to remain and what was to change.
