Elizabeth City Campus

• One of the underleveraged aspects of the campus is the potential view shed from campus to the water. Future campus development must preserve the environmental buffer at the campus and water edge and seek to improve views to the water. An outdoor classroom has been proposed along the edge to activate use and improve visibility to this unique natural resource for the campus and provide additional points of connection to the trail and boardwalk network. The master plan will illustrate connections to the boardwalk that links the campus along the waterfront. This will also be explored in connection with potential redevelopment of the hospital property and joint access by community and college with potential for kayak and canoe launch.

• The landscape and building interface should be a priority in future development on campus with people friendly spaces connecting indoors to outdoors when possible. The cherry trees between buildings B and C and live oak trees at the campus entry are examples of existing campus fabric that should be preserved and extended as the campus develops.

• Pedestrian crossings of vehicular traffic should be minimized in future campus development.
