Jack’s Urban Meeting Place

An outdoor amphitheater, working studios, a civic meeting space, and a world-class urban park are just some of the programming that occupies seven acres and includes a seven-story building with parking above and below grade.  A double-helix ramp connects visitors between the parking garage, working studios, and meeting spaces. MKA‘s sustainable civil site design treats stormwater runoff via bioretention and infiltration facilities that reduce runoff temperatures and urban heat-island effects.  Off-site curb and sidewalk improvements in traffic-intensive right-of-ways and ADA-accessible grading—even in the elevated amphitheater—offer better experiences for pedestrians and visitors.  Other civil design elements include spraygrounds, an event lawn, pads for tractor displays, pathways, retaining walls, and outdoor seating.
