South Campus Illustrative Plan
Guiding Principle 1: Promote academic excellence, interdisciplinary inquiry, and vital intellectual communities.
The professional schools, together on one campus, will host a thriving interdisciplinary graduate experience.
A continuing education facility will include the community in the educational experience.
New informal learning spaces will revive the heart of the historic campus.
Guiding Principle 2: Promote three distinct but seamlessly interconnected campuses to promote interaction.
A complete loop road will improve on-campus vehicular circulation and wayfinding.
Each academic building will have a “front door” and street address on Hayes Road.
A new Transit Pavilion will orient visitors and act as a hub for inter-campus travel.
Guiding Principle 3: Be responsible to the larger community by shaping – and being shaped by – broader plans and policies.
A new amphitheater and landscaping will welcome public use of the campus “front yard” on Main Street.
Improved pedestrian and bicycle paths will connect to University Plaza and other commercial properties.
An expanded recreation center and fields will be opened to community recreation and fitness programs.
Guiding Principle 4: Provide long-term capital planning and promote prudent stewardship of university resources.
Historic and adaptable buildings will be renovated to accommodate the professional schools.
State-of-the-art new construction with lower lifecycle costs will replace non-adaptable buildings.
Guiding Principle 5: Establish UB as a leader of environmental stewardship and sustainable design.
Stormwater management will mitigate the impact of campus runoff on municipal systems.
Renovations and new construction will meet the highest standards of sustainable design.
Improved transit and bicycle access will provide alternatives to automobile use.
Guiding Principle 6: Use the excellent design of campus architecture, landscape architecture and interiors to create great and memorable places contributing to a high quality of campus life.
The historic layout of quadrangles and courtyards will inspire the design of new pedestrian-friendly spaces.
New and renovated housing suited to graduate lifestyles will expand the on-campus residential neighborhood.
A renewed Harriman Quad and adjacent programs will provide a center of gravity for campus life.
All new developments will meet or exceed expectations of design excellence, as exemplified by the current John Kapoor Hall project.
