Site work, paving and renovation of a mixed-use development in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Completed plans call for site work for a educational facility; for the renovation of a educational facility; sidewalk / parking lot; and for paving for a sidewalk / parking lot.

The Project Scope consists of the Exterior Site Upgrades in the vicinity of the newly constructed Instructional Complex, Building 'L', for Southcentral Kentucky Community and Technical College in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The construction scope includes a new plaza, continuation of the decorative masonry and metal fence along the campus's front entrance, remediation of parking lot drainage issues, enhancement & remediation of erosion issues for an embankment along the adjacent parking lot, new sidewalk and stairs to improve access to and from the adjacent parking lot and a concrete pedestal near the new plaza for a future custom sculpture. The project will mostly consist of the redevelopment of an existing quad between Building 'L' and Buildings 'J' and 'I' to create the new plaza, which will serve as a student commons area consisting of outdoor dining space, terraced seating for outdoor instruction/gathering, open space for passive recreation, a grand double sidewalk connection from the Welcome Center parking lot to the main entrance of Building 'L', and a Memorial Plaza space to recognize SKYCTC donors. A grove of shade trees will shade much of the commons area in a grid pattern above varying pavement patterns, types, and finishes. A 1,500 square foot lawn area begins to break up the hardscape and also provide students a 'cooler' place to site beneath the tree canopy. A variety of seating options are made available throughout the commons, including moveable tables and chairs, benches, seat walls with wood toppers and concrete terraced seat walls. Landscaping includes large, columnar shade trees, ornamental trees, tall grasses, and low perennial ground covers. Landscape areas in the commons area will be irrigated.
