Layers of Desire: University (cake)

The Board of Directors want a different kind of bus loop than students -- again, both above and below ground. (In this case, Board of Directors should be taken as people that work towards development of the University and are interested in cash flow as well as experience)

Directors want:

• to provide gateways to the campus which identify a sense of arrival, establish pedestrian/bike priority to the campus and slow traffic.
• to retain a transit exchange in the vicinity of East Mall and University Boulevard
• to encourage mixed use: retail, office, housing and other institutional uses
• a busy urban plaza
• a maximum average FSR of 1.6 FSR
• a retail and commercial space along University Boulevard with uses directed towards the daytime and evening population of the University
• to allow for the possibility of expansion to allow for new rapid buses
• to accomodate dwelling units for faculty/staff/students on upper floors and commercial use on lower floors
• provide weather protection for pedestrians
