3D models of Colleges • Snapshot views of the character and massing of each Area and College DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS Primary Space Outlines • Detailed design criteria for primary spaces These design requirements and specifications have been developed using all previous University and consultant research, and enhanced by discussions with faculty, staff, students, and the administration. Residential Colleges are ultimately about the design of a society of students, staff, and faculty. The community that is conceived must be intentional in design and organization, as the success of the residential college will be influential in the social and academic success of each member. These design requirements and specifications are important to this outcome.

Program INTRODUCTION A Residential College is defined by the physical and societal attributes of: • Citizenship, or sense of belonging to the College community • Academic integration and atmosphere • Civic participation and governance • Identity, or sense of uniqueness and symbols for each College
designed to support varying scales of resident group activities, and to craft public | semi-public | private spaces. Student association and shop space should be provided in the main reception / lobby area. Faculty: Faculty and staff apartments and suites should be visible, but with an indirect student access to offer some small level of privacy. Separate entrances are desired. Faculty and staff presence and visibility are essential to fostering the academic atmosphere.
The space program requirements contain the spaces needed for each of these areas of the total College community.
and large scale events of the College. Exterior spaces should be of varying sizes and character for different size group uses or just individual reading or relaxing. Peer Learning: Spaces that facilitate chance encounters, such as hallway benches, outdoor benches, decks, patios, etc. should be provided in the design The goal is to create a “face to face” society of residents who recognize each other and have the opportunity to gather in varying ways as they go about their daily lives. IDENTITY
CITIZENSHIP
ACADEMIC INTEGRATION
Residents: Each College should have approximately 580 residents, with subsets of student rooms arranged along connected hallways in smaller groups. This permits a smaller perceptual community size, yet permits the maximum exposure to other students and the making of friends. Faculty and Staff apartments are necessary elements. Social lounges, tea rooms, and clothes drying spaces should be provided on each student residential floor. Study and discussion spaces must be located for access by all in common access areas.
Instruction: Rooms for small group discussion, study, and classes should be provided in a common access area.
Governance: Administration offices and support spaces should be adjacent to entry, lobby, and other services to maximize student contact. The exterior spaces shaped by the buildings should be intentionally hierarchical, from the larger civic space of the entry plaza, to spaces shared by two colleges, and then the more intimate space of a single college. These spaces should be
Community: Smaller subsets of the 580 residents should be crafted to lower the perception of community scale. Corridors should be short, and filled with natural light wherever possible. Students grouped along a corridor should not exceed 44, with smaller groups more desired. Each College must have its own dining and multi-purpose space to support community formation, identity,
Co-curricular: Spaces should be viewed not just for their formal function, but also as a means to support student organizations, special meetings and events, etc. CIVIC
University of Macau
Environment: The physical environment is one of the greatest opportunities for creating a sense of identity for each college. A single point of entry is a vital requirement for identity, security, and a sense of arrival into the College. Patterns of paving, colors, artwork, sculpture, variety of architectural details and even space locations all can and should contribute to individual College identity. Landscape and the character of exterior space, especially within the College courtyard should be designed to maximize variety and be open to change and enhancement over time. Symbols: The design should try to create spaces that are rich in symbolism and unique to each individual College. Symbols, crests, historical artifacts, colors, paving patterns and materials all should be considered for their ability to make unique each College. In lobby and reception areas, in the dining and multi-purpose areas, art and display areas should be provided for College memorabilia, posters, awards, etc. to showcase the developing traditions and history of each College.

#1 PRIORITY – ESSENTIAL TO THE SUCCESS OF THE COLLEGE
• A single entryway for each College that is adjacent to critical student services and conveniences. • Appropriate spatial relationships of the ground floor spaces. • Circulation patterns that establish connections between critical adjacencies.
totals College
• Placement of the Academic Head of the College with a residence that is large enough to host College civic functions. • Creation of an individual identity for each College through color and entry definition as well as architecture, landscape. • College commons areas, civic space and activities should have access to and surround a green space that is semi-private to each College. • Massing that is open at the ground floor to facilitate air movement through the green space / courtyard.
College
• Natural light in hallways and all commons areas. • Sustainability features; energy conservation or energy-creating measures that are visible and understood as an important element of the community.
• Pedestrian connections with design hardscape and landscape connections between the faculty buildings and the Colleges. • Podium connection points (recommend they do not shift). • Stairs that are comfortable, covered (to protect from rain) and provide good connections from floor to floor. • East-west layout of most residential units, giving them a north or south exposure. #2 PRIORITY – HIGHLY DESIRED FOR THE SUCCESS OF THE COLLEGE

The Master Plan for the Hengquin campus of the University of Macau indicates areas of student housing along the western perimeter and southern portions of campus. The Proposed Residential College Plan reflects this intent indicating twelve residential colleges of 580 students each as follows: • Four colleges in Area 1 • Three colleges in Area 2 • Four colleges in Area 3, and • One college in Area 4 with an additional college located as a future phase.

NARRATIVE OF THE MASTER PLAN

The main campus structural axis is more like a boundary between two fields – Living and Learning. The pedestrian experience on the side of the living environment can be understood as a sub-structure along all residential colleges on the islands.

The island concept in the master plan emphasizes the interface between Living and Learning zones of each island. The pastoral path along the water’s edge allows pedestrians to experience the water while maintaining the more private nature of the residential colleges.

The master plan also implies a social path connecting residents of each island to common recreational elements.

LANDSCAPE TYPOLOGY Cloister – The cloister is the college’s private courtyard. It can be a garden or open lawn with or without paths. It is the retreat of the residents and their guests. Civic / Public – The colleges share a civic plaza that acts as the public square for both causal and planned events. Each college’s common spaces and entrances are located there and ensure its vitality both during the day and at night. Pastoral – The landscape along the water’s edge and surrounding each of the colleges is shared for passive and active recreation. The landscape should be informally arranged with respect to planting using groups of trees and shrubs rather than straight lines. Open lawn space should be preserved to allow casual or planned gathering. Landscape lighting should accentuate pathways and specimen plantings. Transition / Formal – The streetscape between the Living and Learning parts of campus should be characterized as a formal boulevard marking the transition between the Living and Learning parts of the campus. Regularly spaced street trees located behind the sidewalks on either side of the roadway should be augmented with lush planting beds and landscape lighting. Pedestrian crosswalks with raised concrete paver traffic tables should be used where pathways from the academic core reach across to the residential islands.
