Michigan State University Mixed-use Development

Student-teams developed preliminary designs for elements of a 60-acre site located east of Hagadorn Rd. and south of the Red Cedar River. The site was to be designed as a mixed-use development following the Meridian Township Planned Unit Development (PUD) requirements.

The project development must include both residential and commercial land uses. The objective of this project was to provide Meridian Township Planning Commission with a Preliminary Engineering Design. Major goals were to maximize green space; create a walkable community and ensure pedestrian and bicycle access to campus, East Lansing, and Meridian Township; to protect as many of the existing trees on-site as possible; and to identify and protect any federally classified wetlands on-site.
