LANDSCAPING IN CAMPUS
Landscape is the fabric that ties the campus together.
a) incorporate more sustainable landscapes Place making Interconnectedness
an interconnected hierarchy of green spaces at a variety of scales including
major spaces, courtyards, walks, corridors, narrow corridors.
Major Spaces
a) Interdisciplinary Plaza
should locate at the heart of the campus, over the footprint the Plaza is
envisaged as the primary landscape space on campus .The plaza will be ringed
by buildings and may be ringed by a series of shade structures.
b) Green Weave
The Green Weave ,major cross campus landscape move that provides shade,
seating, and recreational opportunities, and promotes a strong sense of space
and campus way finding.
c) Parking Lots
Parking lots provide a nucleus of activity for the campus community and reinforce
the sense of arrival. When the opportunity arises to address the existing parking
lots, these should be designed to promote clear way finding from individual
parking stalls to the core academic campus, and should be planted with a What has proved successful is the further development of the single room as
minimum of 1 tree per 10 stalls in order to reduce reflective heat, provide flat (room with shower room and perhaps kitchenette) and the double flat
enhanced shade of pedestrian walkways and parking stalls, and promote a clear
path from vehicle to front door. Lighting may be incorporated to promote safety (two rooms with communal kitchen and bath). This latter form of residence
