Point Park University – Public Space

Project

The site of a former gas station was dramatically transformed into an outdoor gathering area for students of Point Park University.

Limestone arches and soffits line the perimeter of the space, while brick pavers provide the durable walking surfaces. Limestone veneered walls with stone caps and a granite water fountain are the other highlights of the space.
