Emory Campus Master Plan: Values Platform

"There are 200 - 300 practicing physicians within the clinics. All of them need cars."

"There is a need for a Commons Building housing Counseling, Student Health, Career Center, Women Center, Ethics Center, etc."

"The residence halls currently house 60% of the undergraduate population."

"There is a desire to go to 75% to 80% of the population which would create a need for somewhere between 300 to 800 new beds."

"We should not build any more monuments."

"All the buildings here look like they are doing their own thing and not thinking of anyone else."

"A lot of buildings don't seem to fit on the lots which contain them. An example of this is the Business School which does not seem to have any green space associated with it."

"Not only is it a problem with a hodgepodge of architectural character, but there is also a problem of the in-between spaces and a lack of connectivity and cohesiveness."

"To address a sense of this continuity, there needs to be better ways to get information out, i.e. a speaker's plaza and kiosks throughout the campus."

"There is a consistent desire to have Candler become a more central and commonly shared building for the campus through extensive renovations."

"There is a projected need by 1999 to have between 2,000 - 3,000 new parking spaces."

"We need more of Emory. We don't have enough Emory in terms of the feel of the campus."

"Most outdoor spaces are passageways rather than places to gather."

"There needs to be an identification of the center of campus which connects to other smaller centers and quads throughout the campus like a hub with many spokes to other hubs."

"There's got to be something holding the campus together which feels like Emory."

"The only symbol currently announcing the campus is Everybody's Pizza."

"Currently, parking permits are just a hunting license for a space."

"There needs to be more individual spaces for commencements for individual schools."

"Spaces where students go to be alone include Lullwater, Hahn Woods, Carles Museum, Law Library, particularly the seventh floor, the Pitts Library."

"The notion of creating more of a walking environment - a more pedestrian and friendly environment and more green space - will need a great sales job and someone to promote this idea through the entire Emory community."

"Program elements which could be included in "community building" include a space for some foreign students, career center, group work spaces, study spaces, lockers, DUC programs which don't fit now, a women's center, disability center, and a multi-cultural center, and an ethics center."
