The scope of the project was open-ended but students were expected to draw conclusions and make recommendations for further research.

    Springfield Wayfinding Design
    (University of Oregon, 2013) Paine, Shannon; ; Tan, Ying
    As a way to commemorate Springfield’s proud history and bright future, design students were assigned to create a new wayfinding signage design. The previous wayfinding design had many redundancies and inconsistencies, so to address this, design students created new and consistent wayfinding design systems. The new signage systems are meant to help citizens and tourists learn all Springfield has to offer. A new system can help re-brand the city to focus on all its wonderful aspects.

    The Nicolai Site Redevelopment Plan: Four Visions
    (University of Oregon, 2012) Allison, Sarah; Ludington, Stacy; ; Margerum, Richard; Parker, Robert; Hibbard, Michael
    In the fall term of 2012, graduate students in the Department of Planning, Public Policy and Management (PPPM) at the University of Oregon developed concept plans for an industrial site in Springfield, Oregon. The students were asked to develop a long-term plan for this property, taking into account the context of the neighboring areas and the city as a whole. These plans were to address land use, transportation, economic development, and other factors by considering site layout, building footprint options, and circulation as urban design concepts. Students were divided into four teams. Each team developed a final report detailing their recommendations. This report is a concise summary of those recommendations.
