The intent of these guidelines is to encourage effective and innovative lighting to be incorporated as an integral component of each campus project. The primary structure of the campus plan to be developed under the campus LRDP and the Campus Landscape Master Plan is the open space network. Intersections, decision points, arrival points, bus stops and pedestrian crossings should all be articulated in a manner that signals their presence, shape and nature. Transition Spaces provide a shift in scale from the vehicle to the pedestrian. The major pedestrian entrances to the campus and the access to parking facilities are the major elements in these spaces.
Minor walkways utilize the same standard.
Central Spaces provide the character and structural form of the campus where major buildings and building groups provide the definition of central spaces. Pedestrian Circulation Space is one element that links the building masses and open spaces together into a recognizable structure for the campus community. Thus clear visual guidance should be provided with the positive alignment of light fixtures positioned in consistent, recognizable and unambiguous patterns. These areas should reflect a similar degree of special lighting treatment as found in reception area spaces identified above. Each California State University, College and Jr. C ollege shall prepare and maintain a campus lighting policy.
