Sachem Village plan by Wolff Lyon

More obscure than its involvement in Rivercrest is Wolff Lyon‘s plan for the redevelopment of Sachem Village, the grad student housing development south of town.

The Real Estate Office has a Phase II page showing the community center (it looks like a church) and linking to the remarkably New-Urbanist plan (pdf). Trumbull Nelson has been erecting the multistory modular buildings, many of them trucked down from Quebec. The whole village is heated by a central plant that burns biomass.
