FEATURED PROJECT

Durham Parks & Recreation (DPR) facilities receive vibrant transformations

For several years, RND has collaborated with DPR to design strategic renovations which address the aesthetics, maintainability, accessibility, and function of their pubic parks facilities. Though the priority has been to make the interior experience pleasant for the visitor and vandal-resistant for City maintenance, another important project component was transforming the building exteriors to appear more approachable.

Our team strategically designed improvements at numerous park locations, including the award-winning Wrightwood Park renovation. After the upgrades were complete, the City hired local artists to interpret each Park’s activity in a unique mural – a vibrant, creative way to generate unique personas out of standard building types.

The designers made this building very energy efficient and technologically friendly, with all the modern conveniences of a new building – while preserving the moldings, architecture, color palettes, and materials of its original designer – whom I believe would be more than pleased.
