Springdale Green Campus & Boardwalk

Springdale Green, a 30-acre brownfield and former petrochemical tank farm in East Austin, is currently being reclaimed and transformed into a sustainable office campus. The concept for the campus was developed during the height of the COVID pandemic, spurring the client and the design team to emphasize the importance of outdoor spaces in supporting both physical and mental wellness. The boardwalk was modeled and detailed to a high level of accuracy using both 2D and 3D software throughout the project to illustrate design intent and user experience, as well as communicate constructability to the contractor. Highly-detailed shop drawings were produced and reviewed for every linear foot of structure and guardrail assembly. The majority of the heavy duty steel structure was fabricated in segments off-site and then craned and assembled in place, increasing precision and reducing construction activity within the recovering landscape.
