Campus Planning Committee <br />August 8, 2017 Meeting <br />Page 4 <br />• <br />dimensions. <br />• The space needs of the university (used in this study as well as many others) are <br />determined by gathering feedback from all academic departments. <br />• It is incumbent on Campus Planning and Facilities Management to gather data. The <br />best solution to this planning project would be a plan that would allow for the most <br />opportunities. <br />• <br />what the university's needs really are. <br />• A member expressed support for the idea of looking at data to determine what needs <br />should be accommodated in the area. He also stated that overall, we would like to get <br />and activities would be a good way of achieving that goal. <br />• The land adjacent to the river is one of the most unique resources of any university. <br />• <br />opportunity that exists to reconnect the university to the river. <br />• This project is necessary because the expired CUP in North Campus does not allow any <br />development in the area currently. This will put undue pressure on the rest of campus <br />to accommodate development that might not be ideal. <br />• A member observed that the options presented at this meeting are so much more <br />restrictive for the university than what was proposed in the Riverfront Research Park <br />Master Plan. He suggested keeping our options open as a university so that we allow <br />ourselves to have enough freedom to make the right decisions in the future. <br />• Another member from CPFM agreed that the master site plan that is submitted to the <br />making process. The broad, campus-wide conversation about this area of campus <br />should not end when we submit the plan to the city. <br />Action: No action was requested. The committee's comments will be considered as the planning <br />project continues. <br /> <br />
