Lott and Revels Neighborhood—Today

REGIONAL ANALYSIS

Currently there are two student residence halls in this neighborhood, adjacent to a vacant former student housing site. Revels Hall is occupied and in need of renovations whereas Lott Hall lies vacant and requires more investment. Most of the infrastructure to service these sites is already in place, which creates the opportunity to add more housing cost-effectively.

The existing parking lots in front of the residence halls detract from the open space character along ASU Drive, and lots behind the buildings are underutilized. Consolidating parking and creating a direct connection to the campus core would help to mitigate parking congestion in the core.

There should be more food places or options to eat at. The cafe food sometimes has the same choices of food; it has improved from last year, but overall we just need more food options.

The ASU Service Station is well located to serve pedestrians in this neighborhood with access across ASU Drive. Expanding its uses and improving adjacent outdoor space would leverage the location of this facility as a potential social hub for the neighborhood.

The grassy slopes around the intramural track are used by students as places to relax and unwind. This function could be enhanced through appropriate landscape investments.

The Simmons Technology building is an active and important academic building but requires renovation and improvement to instructional spaces.
