7、VIEWFAST FORWARD SYRACUSE In 2014,Syracuse University embarked on a major University-wide initiative to usher the campus through the 21st century.Fast Forward Syracuse,a roadmap for the future and a guide to help ensure the success of Syracuse University in the context of a changing and challenging
8、higher education environment,has three major components,developed concurrently:the Academic Strategic Plan,the Campus Framework,and the Operational Excellence Program.The Campus Framework is intended to guide the future of the physical campus,and provides a structure for rejuvenation,ensuring that e
9、ach building and open space reinforces learning,social development,and vibrancy.An Advisory Group provided direction to the Campus Framework consultants throughout the planning process.The scope of work consisted of three distinct stages:Analysis,Scenarios,and Implementation Strategies.During the An
10、alysis stage,the consultant team established a dialogue with University stakeholders and reviewed existing background information about the campus and its surrounding context.The consultant team also sought input from members of the campus community through online surveys,including the MyCampus surv
11、ey,which had more than 3,000 participants.During the Scenarios stage,the consultant team refined the guiding planning and design principles and developed a range of strategies to address the student experience,residential life,academic and research environments,mobility,and campus character.Finally,
12、during the Implementation Strategies stage,the team established a roadmap to achieve the goals set forth in the Campus Framework.The Framework was guided by the University mission and the themes in the Academic Strategic Plan:The Student Experience-Provide all students with a world-class learning ex
13、perience that prepares students for future success;Discovery-Promote creativity and discovery attuned to important challenges and emerging needs;Internationalization-Enter the Campus,Engage with the World;Commitment to Veterans and Military-connected Communities-Distinguish Syracuse as the premier u
14、niversity for veterans,military-connected students,and families;Innovation-Nurture an entrepreneurial culture;One University-Galvanize institution-wide excellence.UNIVERSITY MISSIONAs a university with the capacity to attract and engage the best scholars from around the world,yet small enough to sup

18、te our physical campus,with the goal of creating a more robust,connected academic core campus offering many different experiences,from academics,to student life,to athletics.The Campus Framework envisions Syracuse University as a more connected campus enriched with a vibrant public realm and state-o
19、f-the-art learning and living spaces that enable innovative research and a thriving culture of collaboration.Syracuse University has long been known as the Campus on the Hill,but today the University has expanded well beyond the historic Main Campus core.Athletics buildings and fields,administrative
20、 offices,and approximately one-third of all on-campus student housing are located on South Campus.Satellite buildings integrate facilities for the College of Visual and Performing Arts and community facing programs in Downtown Syracuse.To support the Universitys strategic mission and principles,the
21、Campus Framework creates a flexible strategy for reinvestment and change in the coming decades.The Framework builds on the historic footprint of the campus,reinforcing the legibility and sustainability of Main Campus.In order to foster a holistic student experience one that marries academic,research
22、,and student life over time,South Campus undergraduate housing will be relocated to Main Campus,and major academic and student life investments will be focused around the core of Main Campus.This dramatic long-term transformation will enable the creation of 21st century facilities that support moder
23、n academic pedagogies and research,and re-center student and residential life around the academic heart of the University.At the same time,it will anchor Syracuse Universitys presence in the city near medical and veterans institutions,downtown,and campus neighborhoods.MAINCAMPUSSOUTHCAMPUSDOWNTOWNSY

29、ry(today known as Tolley Humanities Building),Maxwell Hall,and Crouse College.Today,Old Rows historic architectural style is emblematic of traditional American universities.Campus growth in the 20th century brought Watson Hall,Bird Library,Schine Student Center,Newhouse Communications Complex,and Cr
30、ouse-Hinds Hall,a collection of eclectic architectural design representing multiple eras.Seated in front of the Old Row,the“New Row”today forms an entrance for the campus on Waverly Avenue,but the frontage is characterized by unattractive conditions.In the future,renovations and redevelopment of thi
31、s“New Row”with 21st century architecture will create a student life district for the campus,including enhancing the dynamic Schine Student Center,a revitalized Bird Library,and a new residence hall.At the eastern end of Waverly Ave,a new academic building,the National Veterans Resource Complex,Visit

36、D USE NEIGHBORHOODSPHYSICAL FRAMEWORKThe Campus Framework re-envisions three major east-west promenades which will create an enduring physical framework for academic,social,and residential changes across campus.In the near-term,these promenades will transform the experience of arriving to,and moving
37、 through,campus.The Waverly Avenue Promenade,University Place Promenade,and Academic Promenade collectively structure the civic realm and future development of the campus.THREE MAIN CAMPUS PROMENADESOVERVIEW/131ENLIVEN THE CIVIC REALMComposed of open spaces and linear connections,Syracuse University
38、s future civic realm vision builds off the campuss legacy landscapes and eclectic architecture.The design concept behind the civic realm is to create a vibrant University community which further facilitates both informal and formal collaboration between students,faculty,and staff,extending discourse
39、 beyond traditional classroom walls.Landscaped streets and pedestrian promenades form dynamic connections that will link the campuss distinguished landscapes such as the Front Lawn,Walnut Park,and Shaw Quadrangle.Collectively,these elements lend identity,provide spaces for informal study and sociali
40、zing,create environmental benefits,and form the foundation of universal accessibility.Transparent faade renovations will create a sense of continuity between indoor and outdoor spaces.EXISTING14/OVERVIEWUNIVERSITY PLACE PROMENADE LONG-TERMOVERVIEW/1516/OVERVIEW2REVITALIZE THE ACADEMIC COREEXISTINGSy
41、racuse Universitys academic core is centered on the historic Shaw Quadrangle,providing organizational structure and visual identity to the Universitys teaching hub.Nearly all schools and colleges at Syracuse University have a presence in the academic core and it serves as the heart of undergraduate
42、education.In addition,professional schools and graduate programs are located at the edge of the campus,providing ease of access to community groups and institutions with whom they often collaborate.The academic core will provide an environment where modern academic pedagogies reliant on proximate wo
43、rk environments and collaboration can flourish.To support these pedagogies and the Academic Strategic Plan goals,the core will be reinforced with a new science,engineering and research building that will modernize teaching and research labs,and academic buildings around the Shaw Quadrangle will unde
44、rgo renovations to improve classroom quality,upgrade technology,and increase flexible space available for studying and collaboration.Additional informal spaces for collaboration,interdisciplinary interaction,idea sharing and testing,study,and socializing will be added to new and existing buildings i
45、n prominent visible locations,with strong connections to the rest of campus,including the growing West Campus area.ACADEMIC PROMENADE LOOKING WESTOVERVIEW/17UNIVERSITY AVENUE LOOKING SOUTH TOWARD THE HALL OF LANGUAGES18/OVERVIEW3CREATE A CAMPUS CITY COMMUNITYEXISTINGWhile the Universitys academic he
46、art remains on the Hill,there is a new opportunity to reinforce the Universitys relationship to the city.The“Campus City Community”that is emerging north of the campus will be augmented through redevelopment of key sites,public realm improvements,and mixed use programming.As the historic approach to
47、 the campus,University Avenue serves as the backbone for the Campus City Community and will become a vibrant,welcoming campus gateway.Building on recent University and civic investments,a key tenet of the area will be the mixed use approach to building sites;commercial,academic,and student residenti
48、al uses will combine to form lively clusters of activity.Over time,Waverly Avenue has become the new front door of the University.The street will be transformed with redevelopment and renovations that create active building faades,a new mix of uses,streetscape improvements,and connective landscapes.
49、OVERVIEW/194INTEGRATE DIVERSE,INCLUSIVE STUDENT LIFE ACTIVITIESEXISTINGThe scale and diversity of the Syracuse University campus and community demands a comprehensive approach to student life amenities.The Campus Framework imagines a hybrid student life model that includes both large-scale facilitie
50、s that serve the entire campus and small-scale intimate spaces.A reimagined West Campus will provide state-of-the-art student life and recreation amenities to students in the heart of campus,including substantial renovations to Archbold Gymnasium to create the“Arch,”a new state-of-the-art student-fo
