Dobson Elementary School, a K-8 school in the Manayunk area of Philadelphia, is looking to improve their outdoor space. The school community, with support from a local non-profit development corporation, recognizes that a creative and smart approach to designing their outdoor areas will bring mutual benefit to the students, teachers, and community residents who gather here. Confair Design partnered with Engineering & Land Planning, Inc. through the Community Design Collaborative to develop a community-based master plan for the school. Confair Design led an iterative process with consistent feedback from the Dobson community from September 2014 - March 2015. The final report produced included a master plan for the school grounds with drawings, renderings, perspectives, narratives, and breakdown of costs and a maintenance plan to help in applying for funding and guiding future construction efforts.
