15. Campus Opportunities
• Develop sustainable site systems that provide for rainwater
harvesting/water recycling
• Use native plant materials and drip irrigation to reduce
water usage
• Use permeable pavements and recycled materials in
construction

16. Campus Opportunities
• Develop campus image with regional
vernacular materials and design aesthetic
• Design shaded walkways, courtyards,
student gathering areas/comfort zones

19. Guiding Principles
Development should respect topography, and
preserve existing vegetation and ground cover to the
greatest extent possible
Informal relationships among buildings are desireable,
rather than formal quadrangles
Buildings accessed along curving “ranch” roads, with
common pedestrian spine
