Plan for Audubon Park (2014)
Plan for Rollins Campus, Lake Nona (2013)
Design Studio
In the past 20 years, Rollins students have helped plan bicycle trails (e.g. Cady Way, Cross-Seminole); nature preserves (e.g. Econ Wilderness Area, Wekiva River Protection Area), and towns centers (e.g. Winter Springs Town Center). Stephenson led the Civic Urbanism design studio between 2011-2014 where a crafted tutelage of place-making and green infrastructure delivered context-sensitive design solutions.
Students were first immersed in prototype projects such as the Pearl District, Seaside, and Baldwin Park to grasp the essentials of sustainable urbanism. This experience provided the grounding for a range of projects, including plans for the Meadow Woods SunRail Transit Oriented Development, Rollins Campus at Lake Nona, Creative Village, and Audubon Park.A sample of this work follows:
