Greenspace at Zone
Recreation Center:
Michael
J. Zone Recreation Center is an innovative project that
transforms the grounds of the center into a national
model for how to redevelop an older urban park into
a state-of-the-art ecologically friendly
facility.
Greenspace
improves and adds to play and activity areas with
new concepts that include green technology to
maintain most of the stormwater on site, and
re-introduce natural elements such as gardens and
wetlands.
Artist
Stephen Manka collaborated to integrate
public art into all aspects of site design.
Our
job as the General
Contractor
on
this
project required demolition of
95% of the
existing hardscape/landscape
surrounding the building and
throughout
the project
limits. The new work included
grading, drainage to 5 biodentention
areas, pervious pavers, concrete
curbs and walls, installation of the
park shelter, precast elevated
concrete boardwalks, rosetta block
retaining walls, baseball field with
bleachers, Little League field with
bleachers, soccer field with
irrigation, handball courts, tennis
courts, renovated basketball courts,
multipurpose trail, dog park, 3
parking lots, playground, and
sprayground.
Perk Park (Chester Commons):
|
  |
|
F.
Buddie Contracting, Ltd. and McKnight and Associates
teamed with Park Works (Now LAND Studio) and the City of Cleveland in
this unique Design/Build project.
This is a functional anchor on E. 12th St. that
contributes to the vitality and reflects the
investment that has been made
there. |
University Circle East Plaza:
The
University East Plaza
 (at
the southwest corner of Mayfield Road and Euclid
Avenue) is an illustration of how to refashion
public spaces with an eye toward green practices.
Our company replaced portions of the concrete with
permeable
pavement, using native/drought tolerant plants to
reduce water use and runoff. Old bricks and
seating were reused elsewhere in the district.
Finally, we installed bike rack parking for 12
bikes.
The redesigned
University
 East
Plaza improved an underused existing sidewalk
plaza at Case Western University. The plaza is
now a gateway to
the University Circle District, and an active
social space for students, campus visitors, and
patrons of the adjacent restaurants. The new
scheme raises the plaza above the surrounding
sidewalks to create an informal stage and
extensive seating edges, framed by a linear light
feature that meanders through the existing tree
canopy.
