H2M rehabilitated this courtyard shaped by four residence halls that house up to 1,200 students. Significant grade changes were resolved in transforming unpaved student desire paths into ADA accessibility routes connecting to four new outdoor gathering spaces – a performance stage, a meditative garden, a patio, and a plaza. The design features decorative permeable paving, granite seat walls, an ipe pergola, bike racks, several lush rain gardens and electric charging stations for students to charge laptops and cellphones while outside.
