LANDSCAPE MASTER PLAN AND DESIGN GUIDELINES - JULY 2021
FUTURE PROJECTS ENTRY GATEWAY, BUS STOP, & LANDSCAPE ENHANCEMENTS The current campus lacks a front door / gateway experience. Signage, including the major monolith campus sign and the district-wide gateway monument should be incorporated into the site along San Ysidro Boulevard to help identify the campus. Planting enhancements should be made at the front of the building to be more drought-tolerant and more uniform. Proposed planting should take into consideration and be appropriate for shady conditions that are created because of the building. The bus stop located in front should also be reconfigured taking into consideration additional seating for individuals waiting for the bus. In addition, the memorial should be integrated into a new entry plan and preserved. Once it is built out, connections to the sites on both sides of the street should be considered and could be tied together with plating and signage, but may also consider a special crossing at the intersection related to the campus for additional place making and a gateway experience.
