Design for Master Plan Site Improvements

 

The Jaeger Company assisted the State University of West Georgia in implementing portions of its recent master plan. This project, which focuses on the landscape character of the campus, will address site improvements such as circulation and landscaping, and will specify a pallet of materials such as paving and site furniture.

In the design process, The Jaeger Company researched the development of the historic campus, walkways, circulation patterns and site features. The proposed circulation design enhances the historic character of the campus while addressing current needs of the campus population.

West Georgia's historic front and middle campus, highlighted by mature oak trees, is enhanced in the plan through a reinterpretation of the original quadrangle space and its network of diagonal paths.

A fountain is proposed to further enhance this area as the historic core of the campus. The quadrangle concept is expanded within middle campus to organize the current haphazard pedestrian system.

The historic quadrangle, a priority project, is being further refined with the development of construction documents.
