Issues
Issue 1: Ensure that the Music
Center is served by pedestrian and bicycle connections to the rest of
the campus.
Proposed design responses:
- Pedestrian/bicycle bridges lead from parking lot adjacent
to the Music Center (north of Copeland Creek) to central campus (south
of Copeland Creek).
- Main bridge across Copeland Creek will have sidewalk to provide bicycle
and pedestrian access.
- Bike paths follow Copeland Creek from Music Center to student housing.
- Location of Music Center does not break continuity of proposed bicycle
circulation route along Copeland Creek.
Issue 2: Establish an appropriate
relationship between the "agricultural zones" adjacent to the
Music Center and the rest of campus.
Proposed design responses:
- Access to the agricultural zones and operations within them will not
intrude on campus circulation.
