Emory Campus Master Plan: Precinct Studies

Health Sciences and Clinic

It is in this area of campus where some of the significant "clotting" of pedestrian movement of the campus occurs. Therefore, this plan suggests an approach of angioplasty to open up these clogged arteries and allow for better circulation through these areas. Step 1 of this plan would be the removal of the steel tower deck and the re-establishment of this area as a natural stream valley. This area, one of the original gardens of the Hornbostel Campus, would then be re-established with the stream bed and a series of both formal and informal gardens connecting to the original diagonal path of the ridge lines of main campus. This deck would be replaced with a new 1200 car parking deck just to the southeast of Egleston Hospital. This is the site of the existing pediatric and Ronald McDonald clinics. Immediately east of this new parking deck is an extraordinary potential for a new building of approximately 250,000 gross square feet. This site could function as academic, housing, medical research or the oncology center, with great visibility from the world of the health sciences, easy access from the new parking deck, and access from the new shuttle bus road from East Campus. On the site of the Uppergate Pavilion is a new building for future clinic, hospital expansion, or oncology research facility. Additional Health Sciences expansion is proposed on the site of the existing sororities. The sororities would be relocated to an area immediately north of the existing fraternities. Lastly, new graduate housing is shown on the existing surface parking lot east of the Law School.
