Design Challenge: This year, the Cleveland Design Competition challenges entrants to produce solutions for a new lakefront multi-modal transportation center in downtown Cleveland. Designs for this new transportation center must provide the city with a state-of-the-art rail station ready to support high speed passenger rail service, a facility capable of integrating and balancing the needs of various transportation modes, and a significant pedestrian connection from the Mall to Cleveland’s lakefront.

Submission Requirements:
Entrants must submit (2) 24” x 36” boards in portrait format. International entrants are not required to submit mounted boards and may choose to submit 24” x 36” rolled sheet presentation materials instead. Entrants are encouraged to include on submission boards: a brief conceptual statement describing the project, site sections, renderings, diagrams, and drawings that communicate the intent of the submission. Please note, physical models will not be accepted.  Materials submitted will not be returned to the owners at the conclusion of the 2009 Cleveland Design
Competition. Presentation boards must be accompanied by a CD or USB memory stick containing electronic PDF files of both presentation boards. PDF’s are to be 24” x 36” at 150 dpi resolution. Electronic submissions must only include
