The photos at right show the end result of the Central Campus design project, in which Ayres provided conceptual and final design from the end of Roosevelt Street to the McIntyre Library and the area between Schofield Hall and Zorn Arena. Our designs integrated the overall campus design pattern, the features of adjacent buildings, and the design plans for the new Davies Center and the new Education Center. The objective was a site design that formed a cohesive central campus with strong circulation routes; improved pedestrian and bike safety; visual links to highlight the architectural features of adjacent buildings; a preliminary design for Centennial Plaza (the campus entry point from Roosevelt Street); and a staging plan considering the construction of the Education Building, demolition of the former Davies Center, and reconstruction of the central campus steam line.
