Studio Main Exhibits UACDC Student Designs

 

Studio Main will be exhibiting the final designs by the Students at the University of Arkansas Community Design Center for the South Main Street District this Friday, May 11th from 5pm to 9pm at 1423-C S.Main.  This project is a precursor to work being performed by the UACDC in collaboration with the Downtown Little Rock Community Devleopment Corporation and residents from the Pettaway Neighborhood.  The larger vision plan, to be completed by staff at the UACDC, is to encompass the larger 60-block area making up the Historic Pettaway Neighborhood.  Although the work is still in progress, concepts coming from the University dealing with shared streets to slow down traffic and make the neighborhood more pedestrian friendly....

                                                                ....to storm water mitigation by using Low Impact Development Techniques...


                         .....is proving to be very beneficial in developing an overall visioning plan for the future.
  Thank you Students and Staff at the UACDC for the great work you have done, and are doing for this wonderful community!  And thank you to the residents of Pettaway who have volunteered their time to meet with the University, and provide feed back through this process.
