Q:How did the concept for The Village originate?
A: The idea of a walkable neighborhood adjacent to the Hendrix campus was first introduced during a 1995 charrette led by Andres Duany of Duany Plater-Zyberk and Co., an internationally recognized urban planning group that developed the Hendrix master plan. Duany proposed that Hendrix develop land it owned on the east side of Harkrider Street into a neighborhood that combined a mix of residential and commercial spaces.
