Soften Existing Hardscapes As Satellite Parking construction provides greater capacity, replace existing parking areas in the core with softer, greener facilities or with landscaping. Also plan new parking capacity to allow a reduction in density in existing lots so as to insert more planting islands and other features that will reduce heat island effect and break down the automotive scale so it is more welcoming to pedestrians.

Architectural Context Prepare a document that will describe the chosen architectural context of the campus, and which will become a component of all future building and renovation programs. Include color palette, historical reference, examples of building elements and details of building massing, roof forms and typical materials. Also include examples of successful interpretation and variations on architectural themes.
