Improvements
As colleges and universities compete for the best students, one of the most significant factors affecting a student's decision for higher education is often their image of the campus. RDG was commissioned to help improve the perceptions and first impressions of the Central campus for current and future students.
Located in rural Iowa, Central College is a unique "small town" campus that offers a world class education. RDG worked with faculty and staff to set an impressive tone for students and visitors with a new entry plaza and gateway signs. Consideration was given to green infrastructure practices through stormwater best management practices, native ecotype plants, local materials and LED lighting technologies.
