The property was designed with plazas, greenspaces, and activity nodes reflecting the 1800s New Orleans French Quarter Creole townhomes. A gateway plaza located at the intersection of Hart Street and 2nd Street to welcome students and visitors onto the campus. The gateway plaza also directs pedestrians onto the property to a courtyard highlighting the Schultz and Yocum Residence, commonly known as the Clay Tile House, and guiding them farther on to the William Henry Harrison Presidential Mansion and future Visitors Center. Additional plazas were designed at the intersection of 1st Street and Hart Street to activate the Riverwalk trail as well as allow the university and the downtown City of Vincennes to merge in unity. DCCM completed the architectural design, civil, and coordinated the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and structural engineering. Phase I of the $15 million project was completed in August 2020 and Phase II was completed in August 2021.
