Esplanade
Kent State University, Kent, Ohio

This 2,000 linear foot pedestrian way is a major initiative in Kent State University 's goal to rededicate the core of its campus to pedestrian traffic. The design of the Esplanade creates a campus “icon”, providing a distinctive environment that promotes social activities. The pedestrian way facilitates campus wayfinding, articulating building entries and promoting connections to other quads on campus, while allowing for safe vehicular, ADA and emergency accessibility.
