Brooke Shevela, a senior majoring in Landscape Architecture at the MSU School of Planning, Design and Construction, received a $2,000 grant from the MSU College of Agriculture and Natural Resources Undergraduate Research Program.
Shevela’s study focuses on designing decline, including the reclamation of industrial sites and the effects on public perception of safety, economics and the environment.
“I’m using landscape performance research to analyze a case study. My case study is the abandoned Michigan Central Station [in Detroit] which features an abandoned station building, as well as, neglected rail rest spots,” Shevela said.
In order to be eligible for funding, CANR students must have a minimum 2.5 GPA, be highly motivated, inquisitive, committed and self-disciplined, and have an MSU faculty member agree to mentor their project.
