PROGRAM

In the spirit of the streetscape projects presented at our lecture, we imagine a program and development model that responds to the needs of the community and MSU, challenges skepticism and fears about density that were raised in the lecture Q and A, and is experimental enough to imagine new possibilities. The project will explore how East Lansing’s horizontal layering of campus to neighborhood, public to private, dense to sparse, and institutional to commercial to residential can be transposed to a single vertically layered project that significantly increases the city’s vitality and gives clues for future development. As a starting point, this mixed-use project will likely include residential, vehicular, recreational, educational, commercial, and retail programming. Key considerations will include how to create a more vibrant and diverse downtown and how the seasonal student population swings can actually provide opportunities. Questions of energy and infrastructure demands on the City of East Lansing will be addressed on site whenever possible.

PRECEDENT: University City, Philadelphia

The University City region of Philadelphia consists of several neighborhoods and includes the University of Pennsylvania, Drexel University, and the University of the Sciences.  Like East Lansing, University City’s population ebbs and flows with the university calendar, and shares many of the same tensions between full time residents and the students that play a large role in the local economy.  Through non-profit, municipal, and private partnerships, the universities have made a major impact in the development of the city over the last ten years with a goal to strengthen the social, urban, and intellectual ties between the institutions and the neighborhoods they call home.  Several recent or future projects, at a variety of scales, present models that might be explored in East Lansing.
