Existing Conditions at the University
1. Disconnected
• The River Campus and the Medical Center should be better linked
• The University and the City should collaborate to enliven surrounding communities
2. Incoherent
• No clear edges or boundaries exist
• No identity• No sense of entry or gateway
3. Sprawling
• Growth has become too spread out and expansive
• Campus has become car dependent
1. Connections
• Between the River Campusand the Medical Center
• Between areas of student life• Between the University
and the City
2. Coherence
• Maintain and reinforce our intimate scale
