Community Engagement Session One with PORT and Mill Race Center

What do you want to see at Mill Race Center? PORT is looking for your input on what they will design and build for the 2023 Exhibit Columbus Exhibition.

How might we create an installation within the landscape that serves as an inviting model for universal access and intergenerational socialization?

Join us on zoom for a one-hour engagement session on Tuesday, December 13th, from 10:00 am – 11:30 am.

2022–23 Exhibit Columbus J. Irwin and Xenia S. Miller Prize Recipient PORT (Philadelphia and Chicago) is a public realm design and planning consultancy made up of landscape architects, architects, urban designers, and planners based in Philadelphia and Chicago. The practice works across scales, contexts, and landscapes throughout the United States and abroad. PORT’s work is rooted in a belief in the transformative potential of a socially and ecologically vibrant urban public realm. By collaborating with communities to reimagine and shape these spaces, PORT delivers projects that are both forward-looking and emphatically of a place.
