Downtown Collective
Located in Pullman, Washington, Downtown Collective imagines a new functionality of the cities downtown, and reutilizes different areas to benefit lacking programs in a carfocused and dependent downtown landscape. The design influences these programs to enhance different user experiences and allow a more equitable and sustainable space for the future. Downtown Collective works to benefit the pedestrian user by expanding sidewalks and plaza space by reducing roads and parking lots on the site. Installed natural programs such as rain gardens and a constructed wetland will work to remediate rain and flooding events on the impervious surfaces and bring additional natural elements to downtown. A new trolley system will adaptively reuse an old railway moving near the site and provide a better connection with the nearby Washington State University Campus. Other site elements, such as a food truck court and viewing platform, provide additional attraction for users to visit and enjoy themselves within the Downtown Collective.
