Associated Teaching Space Porches, patios, decks and other partly open spaces associated with buildings represent potential “found� spaces for teaching. These spaces can be adopted on an informal basis and where they prove successful can be scheduled and provided with improvements commensurate with their frequency and intensity of use.

Parking as Target Recognize parking spaces as a target for traffic and thus a potential means of controlling traffic. Within the campus, where there is no parking there will be few cars except for through streetys like Warren Wilson Road. The well-conceived combination of destination and parking can greatly influence both vehicular and pedestrian traffic.

Bicycle Parking and Storage Build covered bicycle storage facilities as attractive, permanent structures and site them carefully with regard to their effects on the movement and organization of bicycles in the local area. Consider them local rather than central facilities, each associated with one or a small group of buildings and of adequate capacity to serve the needs of those buildings. Do not permit bicycle storage elsewhere.

Incorporate Art and Artifact With a trove of artifacts from its history and an ever-emerging array of artwork from its academic and recreational programs, the College should look for every opportunity to incorporate these things into the daily environment of the community. Just as the whole campus should be conceived as a teaching facility, so should it function as a working museum.

Hierarchy of Paving Adopt a standard range of paving systems for use on campus, employing concrete at areas of heaviest traffic and open-web unit pavers or unmortared solid unit pavers on a compacted sand base at areas of lightest use. Consider pervious paving to reduce runoff. Where large areas require paving consider tinted materials and articulation of paving with control and expansion joints and transition strips to adjust the scale and lessen the visual impact of the paving. Always pave as little area as will suffice.
