The quality of entrances is poor, especially along 15th. Traditionally, 15th Avenue has been treated as the western edge of the campus. The current ambivalence regarding the relationship between the campus to the east and the mix of uses to the west needs to be addressed and better defined. In addition, the existing entrances along 15th do not currently live up to their potential as gateways from the Univesity District to the campus. People are attracted to places on campus where historic buildings are set in the landscape.
People seem to value the expansive feeling of open spaces on the campus.
Directives for Master Planning Given the direct responses to the survey as well as written comments and the discussions of the focus groups, a number of opportunities can be extrapolated for incorporation into the Master Plan. Conserve, preserve and enhance the valued open spaces of the campus. The plan should recognize the importance of the common life that occurs on campus by conserving valued spaces. An important component of the plan will be to ensure the preservation of the campus' major open spaces. Create new open spaces with expected development.
