Plan
Overall Project Approach and Process Emory's Campus Plan must be Emory-Based, growing out of observations and principles which are inherent in the spirit, culture and setting of Emory. These principles are then the foundation of a conceptual plan that, once agreed upon, can be tested through a series of precinct studies ultimately yielding a total comprehensive plan supported by guidelines for buildings and grounds and a process that will ensure effective and sustained implementation. |
 |
Introduction |
The conceptual plan is based on findings documented in the observations
phase of work, a recognition of the core challenges for campus development, and the
definition of seven principles by which to guide and test elements of the plan. Outlined
below, these aspects of the planning effort are detailed in the Observations section of
this site. It is the intention of this plan to be the physical manifestation of the seven core principles established during the observations phase. In doing this, Emory's physical plan can then meet the primary goal of creating an interconnected, coherent intellectual community. |
Observation Components |
Current and future programs Natural and built aspects of the place Exploration of relevant precedents |
Core Challenges |
A lack of community
A lack of connections
A lack of coherence
|
Guiding Principles |
Intellectual Community A Walking Campus Clear Centers and Edges An Emory-based Language Respect for Sacred Spaces Ethic of Enlightened Frugality Process of Sustained Implementation |
Primary Themes
|
Like a sketch before a painting, the conceptual plan explores the broad-brush goals of a new framework for physical planning through three primary themes: |
Emory Home | Campus Master Plan | to Walking Campus
