This document provides a vision and site design for an urban waterfront park and high school campus in Boston, called "Mint Blue". The project aims to create a vibrant public space along the waterfront that also serves the function of a nearby high school. The design incorporates elements of the waterfront, like beaches and greenways, with programmatic spaces for the school like ball fields, skate parks, and an outdoor classroom. Transportation connections are emphasized through bike paths and public transit access. The site and context diagrams show how the design connects and activates the waterfront area.
