While at the UNLV Downtown Design Center, Ken McCown and staff assisted groups including City of Las Vegas employees, companies in the Downtown Project's portfolio of partners, The Nature Conservancy, the American Institute of Architects Committee on the Environment and representatives of the American Society of Landscape Architects. The UNLV Downtown Design Center helped by providing space for citizens and professionals to explore design ideas for parklets in Downtown Las Vegas. Below are the initial ideas for the parklets; a new design should be installed by March 2015.
