The District

Known as The District, downtown Columbia, Missouri, is a thriving, mixed-use district located adjacent to a major university and two local colleges. The District was in need of a plan to give identity to and help establish entryways into downtown. Arcturis was commissioned to develop a placemaking master plan that involved gateways, wayfinding, and creative means of identity for the area. Based on sound analysis, public involvement, and placemaking strategies, the resulting Master Plan also developed a summary report which identifies the planning process and implementation strategy. Arcturis assisted with the creation of the landscape planning, sculptural assets, lighting design, and implementation of the plan.
