It is the major route of access and the cognitive orientation in which Mobilians approach, conceive, and remember the campus. The main entrance at Portier Lane is a double-laned entrance and houses a security station. A once-active entry at the Avenue of the Oaks has been closed by a stationary wrought iron gate. Major building service points are highlighted on the map. The map also indicates parking counts associated with individual lots and the location of parking for the handicapped.
Stripes indicate surfaces that serve both pedestrians and vehicles.
The pink toned areas indicate unpaved parking areas or access roads. All told, there were 1,144 parking spaces on the campus in the spring of 2000. This total does not include the 494 spaces on land tracts leased to others. This ratio can be compared with the mean of a cross-sectional sampling of college and university campuses in the United States. The sample mean is 49 spaces per 100 students.
