Existing Conditions at the University 1.Disconnected The River Campus and the Medical Center should be better linked The University and the City should collaborate to enliven surrounding communities 2.Incoherent No clear edges or boundaries exist No identity No sense of entry or gateway 3.Sprawling Growth has become too spread out and expansive Campus has become car dependent

1.Connections Between the River Campus and the Medical Center Between areas of student life Between the University and the City 2.Coherence Maintain and reinforce our intimate scale Reinforces “One University – One Plan” 3.Compaction Grow through infill vs. sprawl Reinforce the University’s edges Master Plan Principles – One University, One Plan

Respect responsible capacity of the land while retaining the quality of the campus Collaborate with adjacent communities on economic development and quality of life issues Accommodate growth on infill sites Build upon past investments in the campus and physical plan Become a model sustainable campus – encourage environmental innovation!
