The J.B. Speed School Master Plan laid out a proactive plan to expand and improve the campus of the University of Louisville’s School of Engineering through new laboratories and classroom space, renovations to historic structures and the addition of a signature academic quad.
The School has seen dramatic recent growth and desired a plan to creatively reuse existing historic buildings, plan for new state-of-the-art research and teaching facilities, and stitch it all together with a landscaped quad.
LAS worked with all senior leadership at the School to assess existing conditions, benchmark available space, evaluate options and choose a desired plan and phasing for the campus precinct. Work included a focus on reclaiming existing parking lots to create a signature campus open space and linking to the emerging Research District.
