MENDENHALL GLACIER MASTER PLAN
The 6,000 acre Mendenhall Glacier Recreation Area (MGRA) is a national and international destination visited by nearly 600,000 people in 2016. The MGRA contains the Mendenhall Glacier, surrounded by abundant wildlife and outstanding recreation facilities. Demands are exceeding existing capacity resulting in a deminished visitor experience. Additionally the main attraction, the glacier, is quickly receeding and may no longer be visible from the visitor center. The purpose of this plan is to guide the MGRA for the next twenty years, within a vision of fifty years to provide long-term continuity with an understanding that the MGRA landscape and visitor demands are changing.
Liaise Studio, with their work through Corvus, designed not only the documents for the MGRA master plan, but a representation of the plan in order to easily and visually communicate the intentions of the plan. The final design mimics that of a tourist map.
