The Voice of America Learning Center is a satellite campus of Miami University Oxford located in West Chester, Ohio. I developed a planting plan for this site, managing a budget of $80,000 for the total cost of plant materials and installation. I was able to reduce the overall cost of the project to $34,000 by redeveloping the planting design while still accomplishing the same basic functions of framing, screening, color, and seasonal interest. Choosing a planting palette that not only provided these functions, but that was also economically viable, helped reduce the budget by 57.5%, and left room for additional future installations.
In the summer of 2010 I was given the task of updating the three
campus tree walks and the brochure that accompanies them. After walking the three walks, correcting names and
locations, and choosing new trees to be added to the walks, I collaborated with the Botany department to ensure a more cohesive end
product. Paths were also rerouted in order to accommodate persons with accessibility concerns, future construction,
and other Miami clients who had a vested stake in the walks.
I prepared a 27-page published brochure, “The Trees of Miami University,” which is available and used by
the student body as well as the public, citizens of Oxford, and visitors. These pages of the brochure represent only a portion of the publication, which
contains facts about each tree on the walk, locations of dining facilities, and sites where sustainable initiatives are taking place across campus.

The main purpose of this project at Miami University was to provide equal access to users of all abilities including auditory, visual, and mobility impaired individuals throughout the campus by implementing an aesthetically pleasing landscape design.
This landscape design produced a single landscape design solution that accommodated all people with disabilities as well as the rest of the population, eliminating social and physical separation. This design benefi ts everyone, allowing all users to interact freely and equally. This campus landscape design embraced the idea that environments should be usable by all people, to the largest extent achievable, without the need for specialized, isolated design.
The full thesis can be viewed at jkaitlinvaughn.com
This stramp design concept, extrapolated from the IIT Student Center
and Robson Square precedents, aims to provide an artistic means of universal accessibility. It also allows for elevation change to happen on
site without physical isolation of students and users. The section (right) shows that verticality
is achieved through hardscape design. The design of the ramps within the stairs slope
up individually to the top of the intimate platform.

This project is a revitalization of E. Main Street in Muncie, Indiana. The redeveloped master plan serves local land use not only
by keeping several of the existing buildings along with their use, but also by bringing in new mixed-use development that includes
street-fronted commercial on the lower levels and residential units on the upper levels.
This new infrastructure is embraced in hopes of bringing in more residential
use, connecting to the surrounding neighborhoods, and improving the local economy. The streetscape of downtown
Muncie along E. Main Street aims to provide physical and emotional comfort to pedestrians, bicyclists, and vehicle users
alike.

Projected cantilevers along E. Main Street capture rainwater, releasing it down into
a vegetated strip that also acts as a traffi c buff er for cyclists. Native grasses with deep root systems
help fi lter runoff and collect rain water from the cantilevers. During a rain event, a visually-permeable water wall delineates pedestrian space by creating a
sense of peripheral and overhead enclosure provided by the cantilevered planes above. In the evening,
these sheets of water take on a diff erent form, illuminating the night streetscape and allowing the celebration of rain water to radiate with spattered light. These cantilevers take the idea of runoff , and
through their integrated design CELEBRATE WATER IN ITS PUREST
FORM.
