UTC’s master plan consultants presented three diverse concepts for future campus development at sessions held November 2-3. We welcome your thoughts and comments on what you like about each of these concepts. Locations are shown for future housing (shown in yellow), academic & study space (red and blue), student support space (orange), green space/recreation/athletics (green) and parking structures (gray).
Master Plan Concepts
Concept: “Community Crossroads” (Figure 2.1A)
Features
- MLK gateway
- Academics clustered around Chamberlain Field
- Housing across from the new library and at Engel
- NW athletic precinct or sports complex at Engel
- Considerable infill of lots
Concept: “Streetfront Neighborhoods” (Figure 2.2A)
Features
- New housing near Arena and Johnson-Obear
- New athletic facilities push to Engel Field
- Student health pushes that way, too
- North and south clusters; not east and west
- Vine as a connection with downtown
- Reinforcement of MLK with academic outreach, administration, student support services
Concept: “Greenway Clusters” (Figure 2.3A)
Features
- Clusters with spurs of buildings on gateways
- Possibility of two north/south experiences: one green; one retail
