Abstract:
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.
