Rethinking Parkerson Mill Creek, AU Campus

Parkerson Mill Creek (PMC), an indispensable portion of the nearby environment, gives a green corridor with valuable local ecologies. Quick urbanization, extra loads of surface runoff, climate change, and contamination have changed the creek’s biodiversity. Between 1965-1973, Auburn’s city culverted the Parkerson Mill Creek stream close RBD library, which significantly altered headwaters’ flow. Parts of stopping parcels are making a point source of contamination that contaminates the stormwater. The zone is making a straight edge between AU green space and Auburn’s city’s green walkways. Besides, the town itself has few green spaces left compared to the green expanse of Auburn University. Both spaces co-exist without creating any association. The location within the RBD library’s front illustrates the potentiality of adjusting and bringing back the past ( PMC) by reconnecting all the city’s green texture. This investigation objectives center on making a transitional space of interaction whereas giving stormwater management techniques by daylighting Parkerson Mill Creek close the RBD Library.
