Joint Public Safety Training Campus Masterplan / Feasibility Study

Project Description

This feasibility study was tasked with identifying all the parties on the site and coordinating the requirements of the sitework to identify a cost estimate for the construction of the project. In addition, the feasibility study was to connect with the neighborhood community and youth to glean how people envision the presence of this campus in their neighborhood could be a benefit and place of restoration.
