Core North and Honors—Today

I think that we need more crosswalks and sidewalks throughout the campus.

The roads need to be repaved and improved along with signage and lights on campus. Parking needs improvement around the whole campus.

With the recent completion of the Dr. Rudolph Waters Sr. Classroom Building, the campus core has continued to expand northward. The existing Facilities Management buildings are not compatible with new academic buildings in the neighborhood, but their site is appropriate for a future academic building. Instructional spaces and class labs in the Math and Science Building require updating.

The existing Honors Residence Hall currently feels disconnected from the campus core due to the vehicular emphasis of ASU Drive and weak pedestrian infrastructure. More direct pathways and improvements to the condition and continuity of sidewalks along ASU Drive would create a more inviting and safe pedestrian experience.

Smaller parking lots along ASU Drive are inefficient and detract from the character of the area, and would benefit from consolidation and improved landscape treatments.

The drainage swale in the greeway between Fine Arts and Math and Science ultimately flows into the Mississippi River a few miles away. Landscape and facility projects in this neighborhood have the opportunity to highlight the unique ecology of the Mississippi River basin and its hydrological significance to the broader region.
