Central Park School for Children is a tuition-free public charter elementary school in Durham, North Carolina, serving students in kindergarten through 7th grade. They are currently in the process of expanding to a K-8 school.
Located in Durham's vibrant Central Park district, the school opened in 2002.
At the corner of Foster Street and Geer Street in Durham, North Carolina, stood four neglected buildings with interesting histories and phenomenal potential.
We began with redevelopment of 724 Foster Street, a decommissioned army reserve training center, as a child-centered charter school, Central Park School for Children.
Next came 410 West Geer Street, built in 1949 as a Kaiser-Frazer automobile dealership. This building then became the headquarters of North Carolina Blue Cross-Blue Shield insurance company. It then became the office of the North Carolina Fund, then an office supply store, then a yearbook printing company. Since being redeveloped as The Trotter Building, it has hosted a number of the Durham community's best times: weddings, birthday parties, design charrettes, concerts, festivals, educational programs and more. It is now home to Pantajali's Community Yoga, Lotus Leaf Local and Imported Goods, and CrossFit Durham.
Adjacent to The Trotter Building, at 420 West Geer Street, is a former gas station that now houses the popular and community-minded coffee shop, Cocoa Cinnamon.
Across from Cocoa Cinnamon at 644 Foster Street sits Geer Street Garden, a popular eatery and bar that has boasted enormous success and local support.
Together, the redevelopment of these properties have allowed innovative small businesses to establish themselves as indispensable compliments to a vibrant, diverse and growing district of downtown Durham.
Thirty acres of natural woodland with hiking trails along Bolin Creek are permanently set aside as a nature preserve to provide habitat for animals and protect the creek. In the 60 acres of UNC- CH land adjacent to Winmore, an additional 24 acres along the creek are set aside.
Winmore emphasizes economic, social and age diversity, as well as more affordable housing. Around 15 percent of the units will be permanent affordable housing, and the others will range from $132,000 up.
*Smart growth communities are also called neighborhood-scale new urbanist projects, traditional neighborhood developments (TNDs), or neo-traditional developments.
Conway is billed as Arkansas’ leading-edge city, offering small-town flexibility and charm with big-city attractions, hotels, restaurants, shopping, and entertainment. The Village at Hendrix serves as the northern edge of downtown, and the staff works closely with the Downtown Partnership to create a variety of events that enhance the downtown experience.
The Village at Hendrix is a 100-acre mixed-use project designed by Duany Plater-Zyberk. It extends and enhances everything positive that Hendrix College is and aspires to be.
The architectural styles blended into The Village were chosen to complement the historical architecture of Central Arkansas, with particular emphasis on authentic details.
The homes encourage neighbors to spend time together. Generous front porches lead to lively conversations while many large windows bring natural light into the active living areas within the homes.
High performance homes incorporate sustainable features such as low-maintenance fiber cement siding, dual flow toilets, and low-VOC paints and flooring to promote energy efficiency and indoor air quality.

Trinity Heights is an infill project adjacent to Duke University's East Campus that turned a blighted area into one of the most popular neighborhoods for Duke faculty and staff.

A residential development on campus at Harding University. The first phase of Legacy Park was completed and dedicated in 2012 and includes 64 units in fifteen buildings. Phase 2 provides an additional 32 units in 6 buildings. The plan for the Legacy Park Apartments is based on traditional neighborhood development models. Apartment entries are designed to engage the streetscape and sidewalk along the curve. Services such as garbage pick-up and off-street parking are moved to the interior of the site. The progression of two- and three-story buildings along the street establishes an urban scale and a suitable transition from the campus core to Searcy’s well-established neighborhoods that surround it.
