ARCC Cambridge East River Courtyard

ARCC Cambridge East River Courtyard
Cambridge, MN

Larson Engineering was hired to design a courtyard space for students and faculty to relax in a natural setting on the Anoka-Ramsey Community College’s Cambridge campus.

The final design included stamped colored concrete surfaces which imitate the surfaces of the nearby Rum River and Spirit River Nature Area. The river theme was carried into the flowing forms of the concrete, concrete paver areas, scenic look-out and retaining walls. Removable pavers can be replaced with pieces that are etched with donor names to provide a fundraising opportunity. The design incorporated wayfinding techniques and a required fire lane that complements the colored and stamped concrete courtyard.

Larson Engineering was the project manager and civil engineer of record for the project and prepared full construction documents, bidding and provided construction administration services. Larson Engineering coordinated the work of the waterproofing, geotechnical, and topographic surveying sub-consultants.
