Court Square
Location / Springfield, Massachusetts
Client / City of Springfield
Copley Wolff led the transformation of Springfield’s Court Square into a vibrant, welcoming destination that supports economic growth, community life, and cultural activity. Through a phased approach—beginning with a comprehensive public realm master plan and continuing with Phase 1 and Phase 2—Copley Wolff has helped the City realize a more active and engaging downtown experience.
The master plan laid the foundation for a cohesive identity across the district, enhancing the landscape, streetscape, and pedestrian environment to attract residents, visitors, and future investment. Phase 1 delivers high-impact improvements, including traffic calming at the busy Main/Court Street intersection, rehabilitation of the historic Court Square, and the creation of flexible public plazas and shared-use streets designed to host festivals and events.
Copley Wolff’s collaborative approach—working closely with City staff, abutters, and a multidisciplinary consultant team—ensures that design solutions are responsive, inclusive, and aligned with long-term community goals.
