City Center Plaza and Streetscape
HWC provided design and construction inspection services for downtown streetscape along 5th Street, 4th Street, Madison Avenue, and O&M Avenue in North Vernon, Indiana. Additionally, HWC was responsible for the planning and design of the City Center Plaza, which sits within the previous right-of-way of Short Street along Madison Avenue. The project not only improved pedestrian and vehicular circulation, but also highlighted community history in design details and added beautification through special paving, street trees, custom metal features, and ornamental lighting.

Parkview Campus Redevelopment Plan
After completing the New Albany Housing Authority Master Plan, HWC was engaged to begin conceptual design of the Parkview campus which will be the first public housing property to be redeveloped. The goal of this project is to transform the previously distressed housing campus into a vibrant new neighborhood with mixed-income housing and quality of life amenities such as sports courts, playground, splash pad, community gardens, multi-use trails, and ample outdoor open space. By redeveloping outdated campuses into attractive new neighborhoods, residents are reconnected with the larger community of New Albany and afforded more opportunities and a higher quality of life.

White River Canal District Plaza
This plaza was the first step in the establishment of a development district along the White River in downtown Muncie. Its purpose was to provide a public space for the adjacent residents of a new downtown apartment building that could be programmed with events and food trucks. The city engaged GRT Glass Design to install an interactive sculpture as a central focal point. Trail segments radiating from the plaza will connect the existing canal walkway to the White River Trail.
