Abstract: Universities should support students' choices for the availability of appropriate outdoor learning environments. The goal of this project is to create a plan for the improvement of outdoor seating in educational settings at Appalachian State University (ASU). The design of this outdoor installation focuses on providing students with a choice of convenient, spacious, and accessible outdoor seating centrally located on campus. The use of 3D modeling, material research, price estimation, and the practical use of campus areas for outdoor seating were combined to reach the final design. This proposal aims to improve convenient accessibility to outdoor studying areas, increase student involvement in campus projects, and merge design and sustainability through outdoor seating. The design is delivered in the form of several documents including an argumentative explanation for the proposal, orthographic drawings, renderings, expense estimates, full bill of materials, and plan of action for renewable energy resources used for the installation.
