Other Site Features
Some of these site features were required as part of the program, like a front door entrance for the site and an auditorium. The riverwalk was not apart of the program, but was heavily considered to be, while a docking area for the Depot Building was not. I felt it was very necessary considering what the Depot Building program is used for. Some other site features that were not shown were:
• The gardens/rooftops of other buildings

• The urban farming aspect within the design
• The site entrance on Wells Street
Roosevelt Entrance
Roosevelt Road would be the main entry point for the site, considering most traffic comes from here.
Riverwalk
This is an aspect Chicago has transformed over the years and continueing it over from the 78th was crucial for the design.
Auditorium
The program required a large auditorium for people to gather and host events at, needing a spot to do this.
Dock Entrance
Having a unique way for trucks to enter a dock, without it disturbing the green, pedestrian friendly site was a must.
