The Design Connect team, led by Professor in the Department of City and Regional Planning Michael Tomlan, developed a redesign of the Richard H. Beauter Field, where the priorities were creating a playscape design for multiple ages, bringing back the beloved basketball courts, and suggesting solutions for a drainage issue on the field. Other amenities included walkways (both ADA compliant, and a recreation trail); adding shade, seating, and upgrades to the concession stand on site; and adding benches, landscaping, and parking (including handicapped spaces).
