SUMMARY

Gathering Teams to map out changes and improvments Both teams felt the need for entry and directional signage at vehicular entry points and noted the importance of pedestrian way finding throughout the campus. They also noted the importance of landscaping through parking lot #3, flanking either side of the main drive aisle which leads to the south entry at Buildings 400 and 300. Both teams identified flags as an important feature at this entry point. There was consensus to relocate and/or add faculty/staff and visitor parking at meaningful locations. Both teams noted that they would like to see water features as well as gathering, study, and garden plazas throughout the campus. Landscaping, seating, and lighting at walkways and plazas were themes consistent with both teams, as well as incorporating arches over main walkways at select locations.
 
CONSENSUS PLAN

• Enhanced landscaping at major entry points
• Signage hierarchy and gateways throughout campus
• Plaza and 'people' spaces throughout campus
• Outdoor amphitheater with pond in main quad
• Outdoor fireplace and barbecue area at cafeteria building
• Gathering place/pre-function for theater events
• Landscaped 'mall' leading from gymnasium
• Enhanced network of walkways
• Primary theme pathway (the "Yellow Brick Road") through the heart of the campus
• Thematic lighting
• Supplementary tree planting to enhance park-like character of the campus
• Planting enrichment at gateways and people places for user comfort and enjoyment
