In partnership with Booker Design Collaborative and NTS Development, Gresham Smith provided civil engineering services for the J.D. Nichols Plaza, a park-like public space on the University of Louisville’s J.D. Nichols Campus for Innovation & Entrepreneurship. With fun, user-friendly features, the urban infill project creates a pedestrian connection from Floyd Street to South Preston Street, between Market Street and Jefferson Street, transforming a blank courtyard into an urban oasis for visitors to gather, eat and relax.
