Dickinson College Hardscape Master Plan

Dickinson College was in need of a unifying approach to their campus walkways and gathering spaces. Working with the College and key stakeholders, Derck & Edson was able to develop a system for the campus walkways and hardscape that is visually appealing. The system also planned out the use of materials and placement to help guide pedestrians through and around the Dickinson College campus.

The plan encompasses specific areas of the campus and includes:

• the overall academic areas of campus
• the northern part of campus between Old West, the New Science Building, and the Holland Union Building (HUB) Area
• the Dickinson Walk – between the HUB and the Gymnasium area
• the South Residential Area

Additionally, areas of special concern in this study were the plaza area in front of the Weiss Center for the Arts and the main entrance to campus along West High Street.
