The Pitzer campus lacks common entrances or elements that help define the campus. Any siting and character of new buildings should be aware of the issues of entrance, views of the surrounding mountains, landscapes and structures, and the relation to the eclectic current architecture. Pitzer College should have a design that is environmentally conscious. Vehicular traffic and parking should be minimal and hidden, giving the top priority to pedestrian traffic flow. Should there need to be emergency access to areas of campus, the design should incorporate an environmental and aesthetic solution to the issue.
Personal safety regarding landscape design and lighting are always a top priority.
The quarry to the east of Claremont Boulevard is owned by the Claremont University Center. Although development of this area is somewhat limited and remote in both time and distance from this project, possible future impacts of such development should be considered. The area designated as the Pitzer Arboretum is to remain in its natural state. Location of other planned facilities should have minimum impact on the natural state of this environmental space.
