Location/Description
This neighborhood is defined by Bolton Road and the edge of
campus to the south and west, by Gilbert Road to the north and Route
195 to the east.
Primary
Intention
The primary intention is to reinforce the distinct character
of the South Campus Residences and Arts Campus and maintain coherent
expression in any additions or renovations to the Alumni Quad Residences.
Site
and Architectural Guidelines
- The architectural expression of the South Campus Residences should
be followed in any subsequent adjacent construction. The proposed
future buildings are planned to contain the central organizing open
space while maintaining a view corridor to Mirror Lake.
- With the new additions to the Arts Campus, the buildings are linked
programmatically while remaining architecturally diverse. New
construction could relate either to the existing Art Building or
continue in the spirit of a more eclectic style. Most importantly,
there is an opportunity to create a strong open space structure
around which the buildings can be organized and unified. Artwork
should be incorporated within the landscape.
- The standard campus brick should be used on all new construction,
particularly the building close to the entrance to campus on Mansfield
Road off Route 195.
