   Diagnosis Summary Map 

Campus map of the Northeast Campus design area indicating areas that work and areas for improvement.

Areas that need fixing

  • 1. Improve landscaping to shield auto parking. Need more big trees. Noise limits appropriate uses.
  • 2. Improve building facades. Exceeds four-story limit.
  • 3. Poor initial impression. Should look at possibly moving entrance east to Moss St/13th Ave.
  • 4. Dangerous crossing. Many worn spots.
  • 5. Should maintain as open space, but improve to serve important "main entry" role. Good location for new UO sign.
  • 6. Serve primarily as a road emphasizing vehicular use rather than open space.
  • 7. Issues will be addressed by the University Street Axis Framework Study.
  • 8. Should consider designating axis as significant open space. It is the primary link from main campus to north campus.
  • 9. Need more bike racks. Consider new style of racks at Earl Hall.
  • 10. Kiosk location creates unnecessary traffic. Confusing location for visitors.
  • 11. Conflicts between autos, pedestrians, and bikes.
  • 12. Underused courtyards.

Areas that work well

  • 1. Attractive & Positive image facing major edge.
  • 2. Attractive & functional quiet back.
  • 3. Effective activity area.
  • 4. Covered bike parking works well.
  • 5. Well-used & attractive axis.
  • 6. Great Potential. Will increase in importance with the opening of a new Rec. Center
  • 7. Good seating area.
