The CityDeck
Green Bay, Wisconsin
Scott Bishop led The CityDeck project as an associate principal, project manager, and designer while at Stoss. The CityDeck is a critical part of the redevelopment of Green Bay's Fox Riverfront. The redesign increases access to the waterfront by eliminating and/or manipulating previous conditions such as vacant spaces, parking lots, and the existing river bulkhead walls. By altering these conditions, The CityDeck creates an environment for the city and its residents to reconnect with the river through civic opportunities such as social gatherings, outdoor dining, extended retail, and various other formal and informal programming. The elevation changes present within the new landscape also contribute to the numerous and varied interactions facilitated by the newly implemented connection with the riverfront. The project is designed to accommodate a 100-year flood event.
The CityDeck serves as a catalyst for new mixed-use developments that will reinvigorate Green Bay's Downtown, while also contributing to extending the life of adjacent buildings in the new riverfront space.
