Summary

Concept

The master plan infills the existing campus via the use of available land and the selective demolition of buildings. Academic uses south of the athletic, PE, and recreation fields extend to the east wrapping around the existing city park. The northern area of this extension perches academic uses on the top of a terrace surrounded by existing and new residential uses, much of which address lower division students. New dining facilities support the residents.

The athletic, PE, and recreation uses are reinforced by an expanded gymnasium and a new facility in the location of the current tennis courts. The latter are moved to the top of a new parking structure that is accessed off of Evans.

Medical uses and research affiliates frame the north boundary. The uses focus upon a new boulevard (“Enterprise”) to give structure and organization to this area of the campus, which is planned to be intensely developed.

On average, building heights are four (4) stories. The majority of the parking structures are six (6) levels.

Residential developments frame the campus to the east and west. Residential uses provide dorms, suites, apartments, and single-family units. Selective areas of existing residential will remain, many of which are single-family units. The plan assumes that these units will undergo renovation and modest expansion as the market for such uses increases.

The open space system identifies major campus open spaces.
