The central campus improvements were the first phase of an extensive revitalization project planned for the heart of Johnson County Community College. JBC had the opportunity to provide a complete range of urban design services. The growth of the campus and the need to accommodate new activities required that central campus outdoor spaces be rehabilitated or completely redeveloped. Certain plazas and walks around the campus, important to pedestrian movement in the area, were enhanced with new pavers, special plantings, and furnishings. Campus circulation was improved and screening established. Pedestrian amenities were introduced, and special distinctive lighting was designed to help establish an area identity.
