Site upgrades refresh a high-traffic area on campus
Kent State University reconstructed its Music and Speech Center parking lot - a high-traffic area that needed significant upgrades to continue serving students and faculty. The 400-space, tiered parking lot, along with the adjacent Chiarucci Drive, were milled and overlaid. The team replaced the existing storm sewer system, with new underdrains and larger external catch basins to improve capacity and eliminate the maintenance associated with the existing brick structures. The replacement pedestrian walkways incorporated accessibility. The existing lighting was replaced with new decorative lighting, and the design incorporated existing mature trees. The project was completed under budget.
