HDLA has worked on numerous projects on the MTSU campus including the creation of a new master plan for the central part of the campus, including landscape improvements for the Nursing School, landscape improvements and quadrangle for the Student Center/College of Education and Band quadrangle for the Student Center/College of Education and Behavioral Sciences, the Student Recreation Center, new Student Union and quadrangle, new Science Building and student courtyard, and the Todd Walkway. Planning and design work has included locations for new buildings and courtyards, parking, walkways, landscape master plans, and new campus identification signage. HDLA conducted several events with students, staff and faculty to gain critical feedback into what user groups wanted and needed in a new campus space. The result is a master plan that calls for the removal of all vehicular roadways (except fire lanes) and the creation of a new pedestrian path system organized around a network of small but flexible student gathering spaces. Green Infrastructure would play a large role in the new space, as a goal to capture and treat all stormwater on site was established early on in the planning process.
