Emory Campus Master Plan: Values Platform

"Emory is a campus built out of the forest."

"Development must become more centralized - guidelines and standards developed."

"Many people here know how to get projects approved, but there is no central oversight or design review, this has led to some serious mistakes."

"A shared collective vision of priorities must be developed."

"The classrooms are now controlled by the individual schools. This needs to be more centralized so that spaces can be used more effectively."

"One problem with the process of building buildings at Emory now is that it is never clear who should navigate and who should steer."

"Our architects working on campus would appreciate having a road map, as opposed to an ad hoc-ism which is based on donors."

"Emory moves at a fast pace but without long-range consideration."

"We have vast resources which lack a unified plan."

"Alumni need a nice living space to visit."

"Overall visual importance should not be underestimated."

"If everyone had to park in remote lots to create a walking campus, most people wouldn't mind."

"Each school at Emory is like a different company and there needs to be a more shared sense of Emory as a whole. This affects everything from parking to utilization of space."

"The last thing we need is more parking on Central Campus."

"We would love to see bike lanes at all costs."

"There are now 20 religious groups, at least, at Emory and there needs to be more of a multi-faith religious center."

"There should be a way to connect the 1525 Building to Public Health."

"There needs to be a series of better interdisciplinary connections from Public Health Medical School to the Campus to CDC."

"80% of all faculty and Public Health have joint appointments and collaborative links with other programs within the University. The clinics see 2500 patients per day. All arriving by car and 80% coming from outside the metro Atlanta area."

"There needs to be a meditation garden somewhere on campus."

"The campus should be a non-attainment area for ozone within a 10-year plan for air quality."

"To be a first class university, you need to be able to get there without driving."

"There needs to be a comprehensive traffic management program for the entire Clifton Road corridor including CDC and Emory."
