Midwest City Street Concept
IQC Design Interns worked with the City of Midwest City to propose a pedestrian-friendly streetscape for the intersection of W. MacArthur Drive and S. Air Depot Boulevard.
Following the Quality Communities Retreats, IQC collaborated with the Division of Architecture to extend additional services to four of the participating communities. The internship program included eight 4th-Year Architecture students, along with six professional mentors and four community partners.
During the spring semester, the four teams of interns worked with community partners in Edmond, the Asian District of Oklahoma City, Langston, and Midwest City. The interns offered more specific design guidance on the topics explored during the retreat. The projects culminated in a Zoom-based presentation and review of concepts with community partners.
Interns working on the Midwest City project examined placemaking and street design opportunities on a side street adjacent to the Air Depot corridor.
