• The campus physical planning principles follow from these broad objectives, and from the academic plan:
• The development of the campus should be based upon a multiple courtyard/quad plan, connected by a system of pedestrian malls and walkways, both major and minor.
• The spaces in-between buildings should be planned to unify campus buildings and areas. Landscaping of the open spaces should be planned to give definition and character to open spaces, and make them useful for both recreational and study purposes. Vistas within the landscape should be preserved and enhanced, and new projects should strive to create new vistas where appropriate.
• Campus architecture should be appropriate to the context of adjacent building form, materials, and function. New facilities should have a primary "front' which relates to the multiple courtyard/quad plan, connected by a system of pedestrian malls and walkways. Service access should be convenient to the "back' of campus facilities, and screened from the elements which comprise the open space and walkways of the campus.
• The functional zoning and program locations of the campus should be planned to;
1. A. Support the recognition of colleges and academic units as distinct entities whenever possible in the physical planning of the campus;
2. B. Provide flexibility so that instructional spaces can be shared and centrally assigned;
3. C. Reduce isolation between non-academic and academic-related spaces where
• program operations make it appropriate to do so.
• Provide a variety of facilities and convenient access for residential students in both existing residential facilities and any future residential facilities planned for undergraduates and families.
