232 METHODS AND ANALYSIS

OPEN SPACEOpen space is composed of paths and places. Paths move people from place to place, and at edges connect to the surrounding landscape and neighborhood. Places encourage people to stay and gather. These outdoor rooms serve many of the same programmatic functions as buildings – academic, social and environmental. The best of these places are memorable, and form lasting impressions on those who experience the University. Richness in a campus open space network comes from a mix of open space types – formal and informal. Informal spaces, like Picnic Hill, tend to be related to nature, along hillsides and streams. Formal spaces like the Carillon Mall make clear connections between buildings and districts.

Buildings shape path and place, and vice-versa, thus a thoughtful configuration of buildings is critical to the development of a successful open space network. On the UC Riverside campus, buildings which frame open spaces tend to be opaque and inactive at the ground floor. In many cases, buildings block views to the surrounding landscape and to internal landmarks. Buildings which are only one or two stories high lack the physical presence to effectively define open space.

Chapter 4 focuses specifically on campus open space, studying climate-adaptive landscaping, pedestrian connectivity, and relationships to buildings, among other specific topics.

SITE COMPARISON

FutureCurrent

Light Pollution

Noise

Traffic

Direct light and glare spill from lights will be contained on the site.

Limited noise impacts from outdoor activities except for limited hours of the day on North and South side of the building.

Nighttime noise should be virtually eliminated.

Through traffic will bypass school because of school zone speed limits.

Signalized intersection will make for safer traffic movements in and around school zone.
