City of Maple Grove Civic Campus Framework

<

Location: Maple Grove, MN
Total Area:
Design Completion Date: 2003

Through a series of visioning sessions, BKV Group worked with the Maple Grove Committee to develop the Civic Campus Design Framework and Master Plan. The committee developed a list of issues to guide the development of the design guidelines. The intent and purpose of the guidelines are not only to encourage and support a high level of quality and design throughout the various projects within the campus plan but also to tie the lakes together, fully bringing them into the public realm and creating an identity unique to Maple Grove.
The master plan recognizes Maple Grove’s history and the evolving and changing nature of the site and the community. The vision plan represents the potential of what the site can become as it transitions from gravel mine and integrates itself as an important piece of the park system and community.
As the plan is realized, people will be able to enjoy a concert at the band shell, walk along a promenade, attend a wedding on the pier or spend an afternoon strolling though gardens. None of these activities rely on the completion of the entire plan. Rather as each piece of the plan is realized, the lakes become a more interesting place to be and can accommodate various users having a multitude of varied experiences.
