The Prairie View A&M University project converted a parking lot into a sustainable engineering and classroom facility. Featuring rain gardens, bio-swales, and a terraced rainwater system, the design combines stormwater management with educational opportunities. Shaded study areas and detailed hardscape elements complete the functional and eco-friendly space.
Transform a parking lot into a sustainable engineering and classroom building with innovative stormwater management systems.
Incorporated rain gardens, bio-swales, and vegetative filter strips to reduce storm runoff. Designed a terraced rainwater infiltration system that doubles as a learning opportunity for students.
Reducing impervious cover while creating functional spaces for education. Introduced stormwater management systems to reduce runoff and provide sustainable solutions.
Rain Gardens and Bio-Swales: Designed to manage stormwater runoff while enhancing the landscape's ecological functionality.
Terraced Rainwater System: An innovative infiltration system with copper scuppers that captures and filters stormwater across multiple levels.
Shaded Study Areas: Two-story ceilings provide shaded outdoor spaces for students to gather, study, and relax.
Detailed Paving and Hardscape: Precision-crafted and hardscape elements create a striking, organized, and visually appealing environment.
