Community Visioning Session: Round Three!

We were two rounds in on our Community Visioning Sessions when we gathered again in March. During the latest session, the design team presented their initial concept sketches, incorporating the FSP planning and ideas from residents who had participated in previous sessions.

To facilitate interactive discussion, the campus design was segmented into four distinct areas within the meeting space, allowing attendees to circulate, engage with the designers, and offer their feedback and modifications.

Many were pleased to see their proposals from prior sessions come to life in the plans, including ideas for a social media hub, green spaces with trees, casual hangout spots, study areas, a memorial space, a children’s playground, and accessibility for individuals with special needs.

FSP CEO, Kimberly Smitherman, expressed her gratitude towards the community members for their active involvement and contributions. The meeting was a thorough discussion of the visual and functional aspects of the design, including aesthetics, greenery, and the practicality of the layout.

By addressing questions about everything from furniture and texture to spacing and landscaping, the FSP team is committed to realizing a vision that encapsulates the best for Selma residents and visitors.
