PEDESTRIAN/VEHICULAR CIRCULATION

• Common paths of travel (between regular pedestrian flow and handicap)

• Expanded Athletics for recreational purpose
• Combine Faculty offices Buildings 15/17, use Building 6 for Student activities, use vacancy for Student Services Building
• Large Cafeteria vs. Satellite food and intimate spaces
• Need Art Gallery – upgrade art space to meet current trend in art/music digital
• Theater is underutilized - Needs accessibility. Program is growing – more classroom/community involvement – Shows booked from March through May
• Art Gallery in central location
• College Bookstore in "HUB" – make it centrally located
• Cover the courtyard with a glass top /Natural light/Secure it for Gallery
• Can't lose outdoor amphitheater; Music performances
