GREATER BOND COMMUNITY BEAUTIFICATION

The proposal for this park was presented at the State Capital to City Commissioners and the Mayor in the City Chambers. Throughout the course of three months, I worked with a design team* that I formed in the efforts to redevelop areas in a lowerincome neighborhood. We took that opportunity to design a park in the heart of the neighborhood to add a nice breath of excitement for the community. The Greater Bond Community lies just outside of Florida A&M University’s campus in Tallahassee. This project is a way to connect FAMU and the Bond community through interaction and enhance the area by creating a vibrant urban scene that attracts families, urban professionals, and students. Amenities of the park include pavilions, playground and open field, basketball court, workout area, and a small dog park. A walking path is also included that runs through the park, connecting more of the community together. Our design helps provide a sense of community and enhances the neighborhood both socially and visually.

Professional design services were provided for a 1,103 square foot pavilion and 720 square foot restroom renovation. The new wood frame pavilion provides shading to an outdoor public seating area where concession sales are made. The renovation of the restrooms help to better serve the public by adding fixtures to increase the capacity for usage.

Personal responsibilities included: modeling, development and management of construction budget, code research and Revit drafting.

Professional design services were provided for a 2,500 square foot museum expansion project. A new building will be constructed as an addition and includes gallery space, a meeting/lecture room, and a storage area. This expansion project will provide the community access to cultural arts, increase tourism, and aid in the redevelopment of a Historic business district.

Personal responsibilities included: program and concept layout development, Revit modeling and drafting work, rendering production, development and management of construction budget, code research and development of the design
