dc.description.abstractThe CDAC design team began the project with an initial site visit and tour of Boxerwood with staff members Hunter Mohring and Karen Bailey. The CDAC team photographed the site as they learned about the many spaces, places, and programs at Boxerwood.<br />The CDAC team returned to the site several additional times, to verify information for the existing conditions mapping, to shadow several educational programs offered to elementary school students in the County, and to talk with the teaching staff about needs and desires for the site as it related to the various age groups that Boxerwood serves.<br />Following these meetings, the CDAC team developed site inventory and analysis drawings, documenting their findings to date. The CDAC team met with Boxerwood staff and board members to discuss these findings and learn about their visions for the future of Boxerwood.<br />From that meeting and ensuing correspondence, the CDAC team took away valuable information that would guide the course of the remainder of the of the project. Initial conceptual design alternatives were developed. Suggestions for trail materials, ADA accessibility options, interior spaces, and entry sequence and parking were prepared. These initial design ideas were presented to Boxerwood staff and board members for review and comment.<br />The conceptual master plan was refined based on the feedback received at the presentation. An illustrative existing conditions map was also developed for Boxerwood to use in combination with its current wayfinding system.<br />This short support report was prepared to document the project and describe the conceptual design proposals.en
