Coppin State University Campus Expansion and Mixed-Use Master Plan
The primary purpose of this mixed-use Master Plan was to analyze reinvestment, adaptive reuse and new infill development opportunities within a blighted, inner-city community under the HUD Community Development Block Grant program. The overall project objective was to recommend a 20-year comprehensive long-range plan to serve as a guide for future public-private development initiatives necessary to revitalize this community. The 16-acre implementation plan included the renovation and preservation of historic row houses and retail establishments along the neighborhood’s “Main Commercial Street”, a façade and streetscape improvement program, and the introduction of various mixed-use facilities such as a parking garage, senior housing, a conference and banquet center, family life center, guest quarters, a new academic building, affordable housing and a police training academy.
