The office is currently in a temporary building. Service Circulation Service routes crisscross the entire North Area and overlap with many existing pedestrian paths. Many types of service vehicles drive on sidewalks to reach buildings, disrupting pedestrian movement and overloading the structural capabilities of the sidewalks and curbs. Currently there is no coordinated policy on the campus to control service routes within the core. The existing pedestrian circulation system in the North Area is unclear, unstructured and unsafe.
Major paths cross service and vehicular routes.
There are few continuous north-south routes, most are interrupted by grade changes near Governors Drive. The major origination points of pedestrian traffic are from the peripheral parking areas and the major academic buildings in the North Area. The North Area supports a variety of uses. Most of the buildings are used for office space, laboratory and classrooms by the College of Engineering, the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, and the College of Food and Natural Resources. Other buildings are used by Parking Services and Physical Plant personnel.
