Torcon was the Construction Manager for Villanova University in a program to develop a pedestrian oriented campus. This project was phased out to over three summers. By modifying the layout of the campus grounds, this initiative improved the quality of life for Villanova community members and enhance the visitor experience. The planned modifications, which were largely driven by research and student feedback, aimed to create a campus core that is vehicle-free, pedestrian-friendly, more accessible to people with different mobility needs, and more aesthetically beautiful.  By redirecting both vehicle and pedestrian traffic, Torcon created a campus core, allowing students, professors, and residents to enjoy a park like setting in the center of this educational hub.
In addition to this project, Torcon also oversaw the replacement of 2,750 linear feet of steam line that provides heating to buildings in the center of campus. With that, a new storm water management system was created, and three underground detention basins were installed; the largest of which totaled 6,500 sq. ft.
Aside from providing the campus with more functionality, the improvements created a visually appealing environment for students to enjoy. Torcon was able to preserve the mature trees on campus and even planted 208 new trees. An impressive 67,000 plants and shrubs were also added to the mix. Due to the stunning arrays of landscape architecture, newly designed walkways and overall sense of cohesion, Villanova now boasts one of the most beautiful college campuses in America.
