A mixed-use development with flexible public space, Liberty Commons sits at the intersection of Akron's Merriman Valley neighborhood and the Ohio & Erie Canalway Towpath Trail.
The contrast of light pavement with darker paved lines draws visitors through the courtyard and toward each building, creating an intuitive path. Circular plant beds with benches anchor the walkway, giving people a space to stop, stay and engage with what's around them, whether it's grabbing a meal, window shopping or just taking a moment outside.
EDG provided civil engineering, landscape architecture and surveying services, including the design of the courtyard and parking lot. Want to learn more? Visit the link in the comments ⬇️
