What happens when a campus street designed for cars is reimagined entirely for people? This issue explores the transformation of Grant Street at Montana State University from a vehicle corridor into a vibrant pedestrian experience inspired by the landscapes of Montana itself. Through collaborative visioning, immersive design workshops, and extensive campus engagement, the project evolved into a one-of-a-kind public space that reflects the identity, culture, and geography of the state.
Readers will discover the story behind the award-worthy “Across Montana” concept, including early sketches and design charrettes, public feedback efforts, conceptual renderings, and the innovative design solutions that brought the corridor to life. From native wildflower plantings and custom concrete detailing to outdoor gathering spaces and a redesigned Veterans Memorial, the project demonstrates how thoughtful landscape architecture and multidisciplinary collaboration can transform a campus into a more connected and meaningful place.
