16THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA | MADISON LIFESTYLE DISTRICT - PHASE I PARKING GARAGE <br />1. FIRM BACKGROUND, TEAM & EXPERIENCE <br />GRAND JUNCTION PLAZA <br />CITY OF WESTFIELD, IN | WESTFIELD, IN <br />In response to a significant flood event that inundated the town, increased <br />vulnerability from escalating climate change events, and an aspiration for <br />recognition as a design-forward town, the City of Westfield, Indiana, has <br />overlaid strategic infrastructure with communal purpose to create a socially <br />purposeful, environmentally resilient, and inclusive park focused on human <br />engagement. A new park was created for the citizens of Westfield and their <br />friends around which downtown development will grow. <br />The Wilhelm design team worked with the Army Corps of Engineers, <br />Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) and the <br />Hamilton County Drainage Board on the remediation of the stream central <br />to the site and to tie it into the regional stormwater mitigation system. This <br />critical work allowed for the design of the park to incorporate access to the <br />Grassy Branch Creek once more— an opportunity lost in Westfield’s history <br />but something for which the City was once known. <br />The Grand Junction Plaza consists of several unique and accessible areas: <br />an amphitheater and gathering place for festivals, concerts and special <br />events; a café; jet fountain; an ice-skating rink (winter); a hardscape festival <br />boulevard; and a one-of-a-kind playground and nature area for recreation <br />and relaxation. <br />DELIVERY METHOD <br />Construction Manager as <br />Constructor (CMc) <br />PROJECT SIZE <br />340,000 SF <br />PROJECT COST <br />$35,000,000 <br />COMPLETION <br />2021 <br />PROJECT SIMILARITIES <br />Public CMc <br />Urban Construction
