CAMPUS MASTER PLAN

East Campus Vision  Five Academic-Research Cores to support strategic initiatives  Life Sciences  Geosciences  Energy  Astrophysical & Space Sciences  Computational Sciences  Engineering and Federal partnerships integrated into Academic- Research Clusters  Transportation Challenge for linkage to main campus Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics

CAMPUS MASTER PLAN  Long-term goal to at least double planned density from approximately 2 million GSF to 4 million GSF or more.  Transition the Research Park into a science campus  Buildings surrounding green space  Organizational pattern to the placement of buildings  Immediate goal is to increase new science facilities in the former Research Park  Systems Biotechnology  Space Sciences in former Sybase  Geosciences East Campus Vision

CAMPUS MASTER PLAN Transit Village Williams Village Main Campus East Campus Distance to: Transit Village=1.0 Miles 29 th Street = 0.67 Miles 18 th & Colorado = 1.12 Miles NIST=1.17 miles Will. Vill.=0.70 miles

CAMPUS MASTER PLAN 14  LSC Transportation consultants with ALTA Planning & Design looked at three aspects of campus transportation  To and from campus  Between campuses  On campus, primarily pedestrian-bike conflicts  City of Boulder and Boulder County transportation staff have been participating in workshops and planning sessions Transportation

CAMPUS MASTER PLAN 15  Align with regional goals of no growth in vehicle miles traveled (VMT)  Strive to reduce the carbon footprint outlined in our Conceptual Plan for Carbon Neutrality  Reduce carbon emissions by 20% by 2020  Reduce emissions 80% by 2050 Transportation

CAMPUS MASTER PLAN  Effective TDM strategy  Limit parking supply  Better utilize existing parking supply  Coordinated or Central Control  Price parking to reflect demand and location  New technology for controlling access and pricing  Flexible permits to encourage alternate modes  Better location  New Construction  Reduce parking requirements  Parking space equivalents Parking/Access Management Strategies

CAMPUS MASTER PLAN  Main Campus is served very well by transit service  Transit improvements like Euclid & Broadway will continue to improve access  Regional routes serve our affiliates well Transit

CAMPUS MASTER PLAN Quarter Mile Walk - to Transit

CAMPUS MASTER PLAN  Main Campus is served very well by transit service.  Transit improvements like Euclid & Broadway will continue to improve access.  Regional routes serve our affiliates well.  East Campus is not as well served  May need to look at service adjustments or new routes Transit

CAMPUS MASTER PLAN  Main Campus is served very well by transit service  Transit improvements like Euclid & Broadway will continue to improve access  Regional routes serve our affiliates well  East Campus is not as well served  May need to look at service adjustments or new routes  As East Campus develops, service adjustments may be required  Stampede and Buff Bus changes would likely be soon  Other changes may be needed later Transit

CAMPUS MASTER PLAN Biking, Walking, Boarding to Campus

CAMPUS MASTER PLAN 29  Goal to reduce modal conflicts  Make the Central Campus Walkway (“Engine Alley”) a pedestrian zone  Improve alternative routes for bikes and skateboards  Provide modal separation on 18 th & Colorado Transit on Campus

CAMPUS MASTER PLAN Bike/Ped/Vehicle Conflicts 18 th /Colorado Corridor

CAMPUS MASTER PLAN 31  Goal to reduce modal conflicts  Make the Central Campus Walkway (“Engine Alley”) a dismount zone  Improve alternative routes for bikes and skateboards  Provide modal separation on 18 th & Colorado  Improve service access by completing access road Transit on Campus

CAMPUS MASTER PLAN Space needs will be incorporated into the Campus Master Plan Institutional Data Facilities response 1-5 year needs year needs Beyond ten years Identify infrastructure needed to support proposed development Next Steps
