The FAU stadium has become one of the campus’ greatest features. The surrounding context however poorly attracts the student life toward the end of the campus, where the stadium stands isolated from everything else. The destruction of heavily dense Preserve located on the north side of the stadium is another issue that has been occurring. The objective of this design was not only to revitalize the campus life through Urban Design, but also to restore the preserve by allowing the trees to access back into the campus and reinforce the idea of creating a campus Green Belt. The program called for a Sports Complex located between the stadium and it’s parking structure.
