Conference Presentations

Many institutions are rethinking the presence of vehicles on campus and facing a need for more sustainable and multi-purpose circulation spaces. Once a traditional city street running through the University of Oregon campus, this session will examine Thirteenth Avenue's re-imagining as a multi-modal open space that supports student life. This is a transformative concept grounded in rigorous analysis and integrated planning. We'll encourage you to think critically about existing campus corridors, renew circulation systems and residual open spaces to support student life, and inform design approaches to your unique campus development challenges.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Update campus streets to support current campus and student needs.
2. Analyze public space and public life to frame issues clearly to campus leadership.
3. Discuss design visions and criteria that can transform streets into vibrant communal places.
4. Explain how to create a realistic path toward implementing transformative open campus spaces that support student life.
