Cleveland
Technology District
Cleveland Tomorrow
|
|
|
This
project involves development of a Technology District
Master Plan for Cleveland Tomorrow, an organization
working towards the revitalization of midtown Cleveland.
Beginning as a potential development for biotechnology
enterprise, van Dijk Pace Westlake encouraged the
organization to expand the master plan to focus on
an area now bordered by the Cleveland Clinic Foundation
on the west, Case Western Reserve University on the
East, the Fairfax neighborhood on the south, and University
Circle on the north.
|
The goal of
the master plan is to tie together these four districts
proposing clarification of roads, and developing the area
into more of a pedestrian-friendly environment. Tying in
closely with the 1990 Civic Vision 2000 plan, the master
plan vision is to develop technology-based businesses and
reinvigorate the neighborhood in midtown and adjacent areas.
Ultimately,
this revitalization and development will improve business
in adjoining neighborhoods, as well as upgrade infrastructure
and amenities.
