A R 1 A N <br />PUBLIC PROJECTS <br />For over 30 years, Corley Redfoot Architects has been <br />providing design services in the public realm. Our clients <br />have included governments at the municipal, county and <br />state levels, as well as a majority of state universities, and <br />specifically the Orange County Government. <br />Designing in the public realm is different than working for <br />a private entity in numerous ways. Public work requires a <br />much more open, inclusive process throughout the design <br />process. It also requires a long -term perspective and an <br />emphasis on using the public funds wisely and efficiently. <br />CRA has led master planning efforts on many local public <br />projects including Chapel Hill's Town Operations Center, <br />Durham Tech's Orange County Campus and NCSU's <br />Recreational Sports Master Plan. On each of these <br />projects, input from many different stakeholders was <br />essential to producing a responsive and effective solution. <br />From elected officials to interested citizens to neighbors of <br />the site in question, a master plan needs to address issues at <br />all levels. For many years, CRA has worked in this <br />fashion, being inclusive of all voices and being responsive <br />to the issues and concerns provided. <br />Public institutions should build for the long term and <br />should be good stewards of public funds. An effective <br />master plan will provide the parameters for development <br />into the future while also giving flexibility should those <br />parameters change over time. CRA has used these basic <br />tenants as the basis of its master planning and design work <br />for the public realm. <br />Southern Orange Campus Master Plan Page 19 <br />
