Achieving Future Flexibility
1.
Monitor space needs as the new buildings come on line
and assess our future space needs accordingly.
2.
If our projected capacity figures are too high simply build
fewer buildings.
3.
If after building the first three (3) buildings greater
capacity is required we construct the buildings proposed
for the remaining ?? sites at a greater density: taller
buildings ranging in height from 2 to 6 stories. Our
capacity target new becomes ?????????? gsf. By
working cooperatively with the city we hope to provide
these spaces south of the railroad tracks.

What is a Master Plan?
1. Long range view of the Future
2. An opportunities plan not construction
drawings
3. Focuses on the physical environment
including
™ Open Space and pedestrian patterns
™ Building placement
™ Vehicular access and parking
™ Utility corridors
4. A physical master plan does not deal with
space planning, utilization or building
interiors or utility capacities or production
capabilities
5. Often the physical master plan is usually
updated about every 7 years

Alternative Review Comments
1
Second most appealing alternative
4 building cluster encourages multi disciplined activities
Vehicular access from all directions
Plaza encourages interaction
Parking under buildings not particularly appealing
2
Most appealing alternative
Strong relationship to river
Direct pedestrian spine
Natural river edge and drainage treatments
Elevated pedestrian spine shifted to the west
Poor access from 34th Street
3
Least appealing alternative
Community college appearance: parking lot
Image building at intersection is appealing
All weather connections between buildings is appealing

1. Distinctive and attractive campus setting
2. Relationship with the Mississippi River
3. Vehicular access (high and low water levels)
4. Interface with contiguous development
5. Pedestrian accessibility and wayfinding
6. Promotion of existing features: park, trees, grading & drainage
7. Quality and usability of open space areas
8. Architectural capacities and definition of space
9. Safe and Convenient parking
