REVIVE MUNCIE

Revive Muncie is a mixed-use development at the corner of Mulberry and Main which seeks to serve central Muncie with its thoughtful program and progressive architecture. In a community that suffers issues of equity, deteriorating health, and financial insecurity, this project aspires to be a beacon of hope. In the light of the recent health crisis, the programs have a specific focus on healthful living, community outreach, and education. The proposal extends beyond the boundaries of the site, embracing the underutilized adjacent space with the hope of revitalizing not just the site, but the community that holds it. In the pursuit of this goal, the indoor programs are pushed to the edge of the site, freeing the center space to make way for a large, South facing community garden. This garden would not only provide a source of natural beauty in an otherwise hard scaled urban center, but would provide healthy and affordable produce in an area rife with food insecurity.
