Core North and Honors—Proposed Building and Campus Improvements

Priority Projects

Campus Security Lighting Improvements

Math and Science Building Renovation

Ten Year Plan

New Honors Residence Hall, Quad, and Parking Lot

Facilities Road

Permanent speed bumps are seriously needed all around this campus.

I think that we need more crosswalks and sidewalks throughout the campus.

The existing Honors Residence Hall currently feels disconnected from the campus core due to the vehicular emphasis of ASU Drive and weak pedestrian infrastructure. More direct pathways and improvements to the condition and continuity of sidewalks along ASU Drive would create a more inviting and safe pedestrian experience.

Smaller parking lots along ASU Drive are inefficient and detract from the character of the area, and would benefit from consolidation and improved landscape treatments.

The roads need to be repaved and improved along with signage and lights on campus. Parking needs improvement around the whole campus.

The drainage swale in the greeway between Fine Arts and Math and Science ultimately flows into the Mississippi River a few miles away. Landscape and facility projects in this neighborhood have the opportunity to highlight the unique ecology of the Mississippi River basin and its hydrological significance to the broader region.

Heritage Village Vision

The Medger Wiley Evers Heritage Village Complex, along with the adjacent student social space and convenience store in the renovated bookstore building, are a major hub for student activity and residential life on campus, providing enhanced gathering spaces and food options.

An established culture of social driving and expansive parking lots are balanced by the provision of safe, comfortable outdoor spaces to relax and socialize apart from vehicular traffic.

The drive lane in front of the residence halls is regularly blocked-off to vehicles and filled with clusters of furniture and benches shaded by new trees, creating a communal “front lawn” for the neighborhood. In addition, new shade trees make the slopes of the campus lakes more inviting for informal activities and relaxation, and a new recreation field activates the existing pedestrian and bicycle trail leading to the Athletics and Agriculture neighborhood.

Traffic is slowed and pedestrian safety improved in the existing parking lot through the installation of wide pedestrian crosswalks and shade trees. Parking congestion is mitigated through the provision of supplemental parking, equitably located adjacent to the female residence halls, as well as a comfortable, direct pathway to the campus’s stadium parking.

Revitalize student life by renovating the Bookstore into a social gathering space with an enhanced convenience store

Enhance outdoor social space by restricting the front drive to pedestrian use on most days, with shaded seating areas

Improve the pedestrian experience and reduce traffic congestion by connecting Heritage Village directly to remote stadium parking

Improve the usability of the campus grounds and lakes by planting more trees

Flex Street and Pocket Park Precedent

Expand parking and improve the pedestrian experience through the addition of shade trees and crosswalks

Heritage Village—Today

The campus needs to be utilized more due to its location. Place different amenities for students and faculty to utilize. This is their home away from home so make it convenient for them all.
