Stewart led the site design for the new 13,000-square-foot Curtis Media Center, located at a major crossroads of student life in the historic core of UNC Chapel Hill’s campus. The new facility is intended to be a campus jewel box showcasing the work of the School of Media and Journalism students by providing a transparent indoor-outdoor connection at ground level.
Stewart provided surveying, SUE, civil engineering, and landscape architecture services to knit the new building into the existing campus fabric. The surrounding landscape design supports the overall mission of the project by providing a backdrop to the live studio space inhabiting the glassy ground level. Other components of the landscape design provide gathering terraces, parking reconfiguration, and connecting pedestrian pathways.
