During the Fall 2011 academic term at the University of Oregon, six groups of
students in an architecture design studio worked with the City of Springfield to
develop six approaches for redevelopment of the former Waremart site at the
intersection of Mohawk Boulevard and Centennial Boulevard. The City of Springfield had goals for the site to be sustainably redeveloped and
to catalyze the redevelopment of adjacent sites. This report documents the student groups’ research of existing conditions, the
various approaches to the site’s redevelopment, and the groups’ final design
proposals.
