Pedestrian Circulation
The proposed Master Plan Revision includes revisions to
the Master Plan's pedestrian circulation component. This component of
the Master Plan is critical to the daily experiences of the campus community,
as well as visitors.
Issue 7: Create an easily
understandable pedestrian circulation system, linking the precincts of
campus
Proposed design responses:
- Provide easily understandable primary circulation paths connected
by major circulation/landscape nodes, making key campus destinations
clearly accessible
- Reinforce these gathering spaces along the primary north-south pedestrian
route through campus: the new University Center Plaza, the Darwin/Stevenson
quad, the "crossroads" at the south of the existing Student Union, and
the northern terminus at the Art Gallery
- Add new secondary paths to existing ones in order to reinforce the
campus grid and quadrangles
- Provide less formal asphalt paths that follow popular pathways offering
the shortest practical distance between campus destinations
Issue 8: Create effective
pedestrian access to Information Center
Proposed design responses:
- Reinforce clear pedestrian circulation paths from student housing
to information center
- Minimize auto traffic to the Information Center
- Combine delivery drives to the Information Center and University Center
to minimize intrusion of delivery vehicles
