INTERACTIVE CAMPUS MASTER PLAN

Land Use Diagram

Main Campus

The physical master plan consolidates the academic core of the Main Campus with the addition of new buildings to the north, along the Georgia Avenue - Moore Street corridor. In general, parking is consolidated at the perimeter of the academic core. Parking lots in the heart of the academic core are relocated and landscaped green spaces will replace the parking. To balance the loss of on grade parking a small parking deck is planned to replace the Farber Health Center.

The residential areas within the core academic zone are to be maintained. While at least one new residential facility is planned to the north of the Georgia Residence Hall, the majority of the new housing development on the Main Campus will occur near the Student Recreation Center.

The physical master plan accomplishes the following key features:

• The master plan re-establishes the historical grand entrance to the campus via North Patterson Street, defining the Front Lawn and culminating at the entrance to West Hall. The Front Lawn, together with the core campus area along Blazer Boulevard, is to be restored and preserved as a historic district.
• The plan reinforces the growing importance of the new entrance to the Campus via Baytree Road by planning for a new Student Center to mark the termination of Baytree at North Oak Street and establishing a new Welcome Center at the corner of Baytree and Sustella Avenue.
• The master plan preserves the existing Green Way along One Mile Branch running the east-west length of the campus from North Patterson Street to Sustella Avenue. The extension and enhancement of this Green Way will be accomplished through the reinforcement of the edges with naturalized, in-fill landscaping.
• New academic buildings will be located first to the north end of the academic core along the Georgia Avenue - Moore Street corridor. This will complete the symmetry established by the historical plan and minimize walking times between classes. Buildings will be carefully positioned to create pleasant secondary spaces and quadrangles between buildings.
• Small inefficient parking lots between the core academic buildings will be phased out as new parking is provided at the perimeter of the academic core. This will consolidate the academic core while providing opportunities for green space.
• Athletic and recreational facilities will be consolidated in three distinct locations:
  • near the PE/ Athletic Complex
  • the Student Recreation Center
  • south of Sunset Cemetery in a new recreation Comple

North Campus

The physical master plan consolidates the academic core of the North Campus with the addition of new buildings at the south side, along the Pendleton Drive corridor. In general, parking is consolidated at the perimeter of the academic core. Significant new parking lots at the periphery of the campus are added.

New residential areas within the academic core are to be developed. This will occur immediately north of Pound Hall in the heart of the North Campus.

The physical master plan for the North Campus accomplishes the following key features:

• The master plan re-establishes the historical grand entrance to the campus via Pendleton Drive, re-defining the front lawn with a new circular drive which will serve all of the new academic buildings.
• The plan reinforces the importance of the new entrance to the North Campus, as well as the growing importance of the South Georgia Medical Center through the integrated streetscape development along Pendleton Drive.
• The master plan preserves the existing Green Way along Two Mile Branch running the length of the campus from North Ashley Street south to North Patterson Street. The extension and enhancement of this Green Way will be accomplished through the reinforcement of the edges with naturalized, in-fill landscaping.
• New academic buildings will be located southeast of the academic core along the Pendleton Drive corridor. This will complement the symmetry established by the historical plan and minimize walking times between buildings and the hospital. Buildings will be carefully positioned to create pleasant secondary spaces and quadrangles between buildings.
• Athletic and recreational facilities will be consolidated in the northern areas of the North Campus. The existing facilities will remain in their current locations and be supported by a new Women's Locker Facility and additional surface parking.
