Lee Street Studios



This is going to be a very interesting semester. I can't tell how excited I am about the studio project that I am envoled in that is called Lee Street Studios. After reading the course syllabus, I've come to the conclusion that this project will help me to understand how to effectively use site, precedent, and programming analysis throughout the design process.

This studio project addresses the 2020 Master Plan of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. UNC-Greensboro is an aging campus, in which most of its buildings where constructed before 1970. By the year 2020 the university plans to renovate structures, landscapes, and build new structures that will respond a desire to upgrade the current campus while responding to the character of the university. Our project focuses on the UNC-Greensboro's plan to expand its campus boundaries beyond the North Carolina Rail Road and merge with the Greensboro community through W. Lee Street. The

class was charged to research and examine the site, programing documents, and precedents to develop a new program to generate design ideas for the campus project.
