Higher Education, Sports & Athletics

Context was part of the interdisciplinary design team led by HNTB Architecture for this historic project at Purdue University. Commissioned to lead the site design, Context was charged with integrating complex relationships between events and day-to-day functions while creating a cohesive vocabulary that links the athletics district to the campus proper. The design solution balances refined pedestrian spaces with emergency, delivery and media vehicle access while incorporating rain gardens and bioswales to dramatically decrease the impact of stormwater runoff on already taxed drainage infrastructure.

Brownsburg High School Stadium

Brownsburg, IN

C.F. Roark Stadium in Brownsburg was one of Context Design’s earliest commissions in 1998. At that time, ADA compliance shortfalls and bleacher safety issues required attention as the relatively modest-sized school was beginning to experience growth. Fast forward 25 years. The facility has undergone multiple rounds of major reinvestment with press box, lighting, synthetic turf conversion, spectator circulation, fencing and gate control, and restroom amenities.

Rather unique in the high school market, Brownsburg’s football field is not surrounded by a paved track. That allows bleachers to reside very close to the playing field, amplifying crowd noise/influence in a near collegiate-like atmosphere.

Grand Park

Westfield, IN

Building on Indiana’s storied sports tradition, Grand Park is a national family destination for championship-level baseball, softball, soccer, football, rugby, field hockey, and lacrosse. Context Design led the planning and landscape architectural design for this 400-acre park, which includes 26 diamonds and 31 fields that attract over 500,000 sports visitors annually. The park is the central catalyst for economic development in Westfield.

In addition to outdoor sports fields, the park includes multiple indoor facilities, common areas and green space while conserving existing woodlots, wetlands, and a stretch of Cool Creek. The Monon Trail corridor passes through the site and provides unique multi-modal connectivity to the site.

Spruce Hall

Bloomington, IN

Nestled between the dining hall and a wooded landscape, this residence provides students with a respite. This design, awarded LEED Gold, consists of an open lawn for activities, limestone terraces that create a dynamic walking and seating experience, berms, and lush plantings. Limestone seating areas create alcoves and meeting points for students. This project used plantings and amenities to navigate grade changes throughout the site and along the building, celebrating the dynamic landscape that frames the residence hall.

North Hall

Indianapolis, IN

Context Design led site design on this 700 room, LEED Silver tower, the first new traditional residence hall on campus since IUPUI’s inception in 2014. The project was delivered in a fast-track methodology via a 6-month design schedule and 15-month build.

Placement of the building for this project was an exciting challenge. The parcel was limited in size and nestled into a compact urban context. 360-degree access for move-in, move-out, and emergency vehicle use constrained the limits of a sizeable architectural footprint.

The design solution includes an urban streetscape that opens onto a modern and lushly planted plaza, leading students and visitors to the facility’s main entry. Students enjoy a large, protected courtyard that facilitates student life events while maintaining an intimate garden-like atmosphere suitable for individual study, mingling, and small-group socializing.

Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall

Bloomington, IN

Context was commissioned to collaborate with CSO Architects and SmithGroup to develop a cohesive site design

This new civic space links the Assembly Hall building renovations to the core of campus in response. Balancing amenities for emergency, security, maintenance, athlete, and spectator uses during peak and off-peak times were the primary design responsibilities for Context.

Pre-design site visits, overlays of campus master planning efforts, and detailed design collaboration with the University resulted in a progressive and universally accessible experience from academic campus to game day events, all at the doorstep of the iconic Assembly Hall.

On the ground plane, Context integrated key pedestrian hardscape, site furnishing, and plant materials that aid in achieving the project’s LEED goals. Responding to the natural landform’s bedrock depths, existing terrain, and adjacent campus spaces, the landscape evolved into a subtle, yet grand statement with minimal construction efforts and cost impacts.

Honors College

West Lafayette, IN

The landscape architects at Context Design worked closely with the architect to ensure a large grove of trees present on the site was maintained and protected throughout the design and construction processes. Situating the Honors College and its residences in this mature landscape setting provides an immediate feel of longevity and history despite it’s completion in 2016.

The Honors College is the first residence hall on Purdue’s campus to integrate academic spaces within a residential setting. To support this dual use, the site features an outdoor plaza with a fire pit, an open lawn for recreation and programs, and outdoor dining spaces.

As one unique detail of this project, the Dean of the Honors College was particularly passionate about the planting palette. Significant research went into plant selections that were edible, including many varieties appropriate for use in teas and medicinal remedies.

Whiteland High School Stadium

Whitestown, IN

Warriors Stadium had grown outdated and beyond code compliance when Context Design was brought on board in 2014 to envision an updated football, soccer, track, and bleacher redevelopment. Additionally, CSO Architects worked to reimagine an existing locker room building into a multi-functional outbuilding capable of large group instruction, ticketing, and hospitality functions.

The track and field had previously been constructed on an aggressive cross slope pitched eastward for drainage purposes. The track was non-compliant with IHSAA standards. Context Design leveled grade across the facility and programmed detention below the playing field to accommodate the stormwater run-off function for both the stadium investment and a future auditorium addition.

Whiting Oil City Stadium

Whiting, IN

As part of a significant reinvestment in public greenspace along the Lake Michigan shoreline, an underperforming high school baseball field in Whiting Park was reimagined. The Mayor authorized the relocation of the ballfield to the central business district, hoping to spur new economic activity for main street merchants.

The resulting development of Oil City Stadium created a home for the Whiting High Oilers, Calumet College, and the Northwest Indiana Oil Men. This award-winning facility hosts baseball games, concerts, festivals, and corporate events throughout the year, activating downtown businesses and attracting private development interests.

Fairview House

Indianapolis, IN

Butler University partnered with American Campus Community to create a unique 633-bed living environment for students and faculty-in-residence apartments.
The site provides two courtyards, one an active space offering outdoor grilling, space for group gatherings, and a fire pit. The second courtyard provides a more passive environment for quiet reflection and small group discussions.

The overall feel of the pedestrian hardscapes is intentionally geometric, using pattern and enhanced plantings to naturally draw students from historic quads toward Fairview House. Limestone salvaged from the original Schwitzer Hall is incorporated into courtyards to find new purpose in serving the next generation of Butler students.
