This book presents concepts for a Town of Amherst Ð UMass Amherst Gateway Project developed by graduate students in Architecture and Landscape Architecture working in an interdisciplinary studio. The gateway parcel is a critical transition zone between downtown Amherst and the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Our proposition is that, if properly developed, this parcel can play an important role in strengthening the ties between these two large entities, increasing economic development in the Northern section of downtown Amherst and providing opportunities for UMass students.
