Kirkwood, Missouri's community center, which formerly housed the performing arts theater, was deemed lacking in the facilities required to properly serve the local population, so an effort was started to build separate spaces where more activities could take place. This resulted in the new Kirkwood Performing Arts Center at a site less than a mile away from the new original location, which still hosts events. Leading the way through the preliminary concept phase was landscape architecture firm PLANNING DESIGN STUDIO LLC (PDS) of St. Louis. Collaborating closely with Kirkwood officials and the project architect Jacobs, the team reached out to residents, city staff, and performing artists to find out what they wanted and needed from the new facility. Once a concept was seletcted, the team formulated the key elements the of the landscape plan. The final concept created a detailed streetscape that emphasizes the pedestrian experience with details like cantilevered platforms leading to the center's entrance. This project was featured in the January issue of LASN.
