6 PLANNING SCOPE

7 scope: Physical Planning Areas

8 scope: Six Focus Elements Development Framework Plan A review and analysis of existing planning efforts undertaken by the University since the adoption of the Campus Master Plan in 2004 will be completed. This will include the adopted and proposed District Plans, Vision 2020, current Academic Plans, current Strategic Plan(s), and other planning efforts. Circulation & Transportation Plan The planning effort will evaluate current campus access and circulation along with projected scenarios based on potential growth. Emphasis will be placed on the pedestrian experience along with campus gateways, edge conditions, alternate mobility opportunities, future garage locations and connections to the community. Sustainability Plan Develop a set of sustainability guidelines that will inform the planning effort and the Development Framework Plan. Identify both planning and building best practices relevant to sustainability strategies. Incorporate standards into a set of Sustainability Guidelines. Preservation & Adaptive Reuse Plan Review the current list of heritage campus buildings to identify necessary additions or deletions, coordinated with facilities indicated for potential demolition in the 2004 Campus Master Plan and adopted District Plans. The current Heritage Building Guidelines will be reviewed and recommendations made for revisions. Signage Plan Develop a signage and wayfinding master plan. This effort will focus on developing a breakdown of where wayfinding is needed and the development of new signage standards for the university. The wayfinding system includes directional, identification, and orientation signs to facilitate campus navigation and identity. Design & Landscape Guidelines Review and recommend additions, deletions or modifications to the current 2004 Campus Master Plan guidelines for architectural and landscape components.

18 2004: Goals of the Plan 1. Reinforce Campus Identity Most of the positive physical contributions to campus identity are associated with the buildings, spaces, and sculptures of the east core of the campus. Campus identity should be reinforced by further positive contributions. 2. Reinforce Campus Community The remarkable sense of community on campus is not reinforced by the physical setting. The physical setting should enhance and promote a greater sense of community. The campus should be a compact, cohesive environment in order to achieve this goal. 3. Establish Connectivity Interdisciplinary activity is essential to research and knowledge today. Connectivity needs to be reestablished between places, between academic and research activities, between faculty and students, and between campus and the community. 4. Create Architecture that Contributes Positively to the Campus Community Too many recent buildings are isolated objects that contribute little to the campus community. Buildings should be better neighbors through their siting, exterior design, interior public space design, and landscape. The renovation of existing buildings should consider and reinforce their relationship to the community. 5. Promote Spatial Equity & Appropriateness Equitable spatial standards need to be developed, as well as a space allocation system that also considers the reuse of existing space. A comparative space analysis and an Academic Space Plan should serve as the basis for space allocation. 6. Establish an Accessible, Pedestrian Campus The population of the campus is approximately 52,000 students, faculty, and staff. About 10,000 students live on campus. This means that approximately 42,000 people commute to campus many by car. There are also numerous service vehicles, buses, and so on. The goal is to rationalize the circulation patterns, keep private cars to the periphery, and make the campus an accessible, pedestrian one. 7. Promote Sustainability The campus has finite land and resources. The goal is to promote sustainability by teaching, planning, and acting in an environmentally sustainable manner. 8. Develop a Supportive Process The aim is to develop a process that enables the attainment of the above goals in a transparent, inclusive, and efficient manner.

73 2004: Landscape Maintenance

74 2004: The 2004 Landscape Plan

75 2004: Campus Street and Edge Guidelines

76 2004: Landscape Plan Goals 1. Provide a Spatial framework to guide campus growth 2. Support and define the public spaces of the campus 3. Strengthen the connection of the campus to College Station 4. Strengthen the connection of the campus with the surrounding Texas landscape 5. Achieve a varied, but cohesive landscape that enhances the character of the Texas A&M campus 6. Ensure a high level of landscape quality

77 2004: Major Recommendations Landscape Plan 1. Create a hierarchy of tree-lined streets and pedestrian ways 2. Expand and improve the pattern of quadrangles 3. Expand the pattern of courtyards 4. Improve and expand the campus s naturalistic park spaces.

78 2004: Landscape Principles 1. Campus Streets The campus s circulation pattern should be improved by extending the urban grid of tree-lined streets and by creating a hierarchy of tree-lined streets and pedestrian ways. This will strengthen the pedestrian and vehicular interconnections between campus spaces and buildings, and help unite East and West Campuses. 2. Campus Edges The connections between the campus and College Station should be reinforced. Texas Avenue and George Bush Drive need little attention but University Drive needs major renovation from a state highway that is dangerous for pedestrians to a tree-lined boulevard. The transformation of Wellborn Road is especially important. 3. Campus Spaces The campus s civic structure should be enhanced by clarifying and improving the pattern of campus open spaces. Existing quadrangles, courts, parks, and gardens should be conserved and renovated, and new ones should be created. Courtyards should be especially encouraged as there is insufficient tradition of this landscape type on campus. 4. Architectural Connections The landscape structure of streets, courts, and quads should complement and reinforce the spatial intentions of the architecture. In addition to the pattern of major spaces, landscape transitions and connections need to be made to the buildings especially entrances and ground floor public spaces. The space immediately outside the building entrance is often a significant meeting and socializing place.

79 2004: Landscape Principles 5. Native Landscape The connection between the campus and the surrounding regional landscape should be reinforced. This is both a formal transformation - from an urban landscape to a picturesque rural landscape - as well as an ecological transformation - from a highly maintained synthetic landscape to a resource-efficient native one. 6. Identity and Variety The identity of the campus should be reinforced and emphasized by an extensive variety of open spaces, planting, paving, and sculpture. Strong traditions exist on campus, and these should celebrated by the physical manifestation of ceremonial or cultural spaces. 7. Ecological Constraints The constraints of campus soil, vegetation, and hydrology are knowledge that should be incorporated into campus landscape design to improve the environment. 8. Resources Efficiency A sustainable, water-and energy-efficient landscape should be promoted by incorporating diverse vegetation with an emphasis on native and well-adapted plants. 9. Maintenance A maintenance strategy should be devised that concentrates resources in the most significant and/or visible locations.

80 2004: Urban Landscapes Predominately on East Campus Formal Composition: Tree-lined Streets Clearly Legible Quads Complimentary Relationship with Buildings

81 2004: Suburban Landscapes Predominately on West Campus In-formal Composition: Picturesque Naturalistic Curvilinear Paths Rolling Topography Groved Arrangement of Trees Contrasting relationship with isolated buildings

82 2004: Texas Landscapes Resource Efficient Landscape Low level to maintenance required Naturalist Composition Green Reserve System Stormwater Mitigation Wildlife Habitat Restoration Outdoor Education Recreation Opportunities

83 2004: Urban, Suburban and Texas Landscapes

84 2004: Campus Streets and Spaces Guidelines Campus Streets and Edges Highways (Texas Avenue) Boulevards/Avenues (Bizzell Street, New Main Drive) Streets (East Lamar and Ross Street) Tree-lined Walks (Military Walk ) Campus Spaces Quadrangles (The Library Quadrangle) Courtyards (Memorial Student Center) Parks (Spence Park, Hensel Park) Gardens (Gardens and Greenways Project)

94 2004: The 2004 Landscape Plan

95 observe : Landscape Types First, program green spaces similar to buildings with its intended purpose Park, Quad, Courtyard, Garden, etc. Every green space has a purpose, intention, program Avoid undefined, undetermined or leftover space Then, set up a reference vocabulary or vernacular for these green spaces Natural, Paved, Connector, Recreation, etc. Each site is carefully considered based on its existing features, ie. program use, location on campus, drainage, soil, environment exposures, plant palate, etc. Results in green spaces having the correct program and appropriate landscape features more than three types

96 GOALS & ADVICE

97 analyze: Goals and Advice Determine major themes with topics and priorities Input on Special Areas of Campus and Areas of Concern Community Connections and Campus Edge Conditions Building designs should demonstrate support, reinforce and extends the green space network Building design and site plans should directly create (establish) and define green spaces Recognize in the 8,000 acres, there is no single answer to landscape 2004 plan proposed three characters (Urban, Suburban, Natural), however there could be as many as five to eight when we program the spaces

98 analyze: Goals and Advice Develop a campus wide program for green spaces: Define purpose all campus greenspace Ex. Courtyard, Quad, Park, etc. vs. undefined, undetermined or leftover space Develop a broad vocabulary of landscape characters that can be applied campus wide Using the Program, determine the appropriate guidelines Ex. Paved, Natural, Connector, Recreation, etc. Develop comprehensive solutions that address drainage, soil, environment exposures, plant palate Green space network should include elements such as shade devices, colonnades, pavilions, arcades Green space guidelines should help reduce the non-permeable spaces on campus (stormwater management)
