2. Bridge To Safety

3. Letter from the UNCC Chancellor Project completion date – Fall Term 2001 Budget – $100,000

4. Location Van Landingham and Mary Alexander Rd.

5. Purpose Supply two bridge designs for consideration by the Chancellor Discuss certain advantages and disadvantages of each design and their different cost to the University

6. Bridge Designs

7. Materials Cement blocks for support and a brick overlay to correspond with the surrounding campus appearance. Walkway – Cement with brick railings. Steps – Brick and cement with a stainless steel, mirrored finish railing.

8. Bridge Design 1

9. Design 1 Advantages 1. Very simplistic stair and walkway arrangement Disadvantages 1. 1.Necessary to build two of these designs to solve the problem 2. 2.Costly 3. 3.Time consuming

10. Bridge Design 2

11. Design 2 Advantages 1. Single bridge that would cross both roads 2. Aesthetically pleasing 3. Cost effective Disadvantages 1. 1.Length must be greater than that of Design 1

12. Bridge Cover Options Clear glass or Plexiglas – Campus can be seen in the background – There will be some additional maintenance to keep it clean Chain link fence – Prevents objects from falling on to the roadway but will not offer much protection

13. If Bridge is Covered… Ventilation System – Provide air circulation – Passing smokers will likely be inclined to stop under the covered bridge during poor weather. Drainage system – Prevent standing rainwater. – Tied into the sewer system to prevent any pollution.

18. Time Estimated time for the completion of the project is 30 to 45 days. Design 1 will take longer than Design 2 because more construction will be necessary.

19. Recommendations

20. Bridge Design Design 2 – Aesthetically pleasing – Cost effective for the campus – Almost identical bridge at the University of North Carolina Campus in 1993 and no reported problems

21. Options Cover – Plexiglas top Ventilation System Drainage system

22. Construction Time During the summer – Approximately 30-45 days – Road will have to be temporarily closed – Fewer students will be on campus
