The design of the Delaware Technical Community College Stanton Campus Courtyard was formed by a true team effort that involved the entire Del-Tech Community. To determine the community’s needs and vision for the new courtyard, a survey of Del-Tech students, staff, and faculty was conducted and 687 individual responses were recorded.

There were a variety of creative ideas, but the majority of responses had a common theme; the community had a strong desire for additional seating, brighter colors and more shade. This knowledge became the guiding principles for the new design. With a clear understanding of the project’s goals, the design team was able to focus on crafting details to breathe new life into space.
