JBC developed a land use program for the Power Plant site at the Columbia campus of the University of Missouri. The main accomplishment of the plan was the successful integration of conflicting land uses, such as coal storage and truck loading and access, with student parking, recreation, pedestrian circulation, and scenic and open space amenities. The restoration of the once natural appeal of the site was realized through the identification and preservation of the site's natural assets and the mitigation of unsightly elements and views. Natural grade changes, landscaping, and architecturally treated screen walls were utilized to control views and circulation, reclaim a deteriorated stream bed from industrial landfill operations, and provide pleasing and functional pedestrian access of scenic merit to the Campus.
