Campus Edges And Gateways

6. • Pedestrian path 4.5 m, Prorated to number of users.
• Minor paths or byways should be as important as the
major paths regarding the visual design.
• Accessible for disabled people.
• Accessible in all weathers.

7. • Paths should be designed hierarchy of the users according
to their desired paths .
• The heaviest volume of traffic is next to the parking areas,
secondly by buildings’ service docks, pickup and drop off
stations.

8. • Safe separated lanes for bicycles and emergency.
• Separate Pedestrian and vehicular circulation.
• Shade provides and lighting for night use.
PhysicalQualities
Circulation

9. • Breezeways or arcades act as a method for
dispersing the pedestrian pathways and giving a
variety
• It also creates a good indoor outdoor relation that
can suit different architectural typologies.

Library Learning Center

10. • Provision of narrow roads that support slower traffic
movement and a safer pedestrian amenity.
• Limiting the use of internal car routes by providing less
vehicular connectivity.
• Provision of parking on the streets as well as narrowing
the roads could be a factor that slows the movement of
cars.
• Dense roundabouts are an incorrect choice with the
presence of dense pedestrian spots.
• Cul de sacs should be limited unless the connection with
other routes is needed.
• Provision of wide sidewalks and sufficient frequent
crosswalks and traffic controls at needed points.

11. • university campus is not only sum of buildings
serving educational functions, but it is a mixture
of spaces and buildings. These spaces have the
same importance as the buildings, creating the
livability, identity and image of the campus.
PhysicalQualities
Open Spaces

12. • When open spaces on campus are well-
functioning and providing activities and good
structure for the campus this sustains the
usage and the function of the campus which
provides the physical sustainability.
PhysicalQualities
Open Spaces

13. • Providing a space that is used within the
boundaries of the campus and not providing
spaces to the outside or at dead spots of the
land.
• Creating functional, accessible and usable
spaces interacting with adjacent buildings.
• Interconnected with the larger structure of
spaces on campus.
• Hierarchy and organization of spaces.
• The enclosure of space by buildings, plants or
both, the spaces being undefined make it lose
its spatial strength.
PhysicalQualities
Open Spaces

14. • The proportion of the building to the space
following the allowed ranges, will be clarified
under the title of space enclosure. This supports
the sense of human scale and the definition of
space.
• A good selection of materials and furniture of
spaces, as well as the consistency in this selection
which supports the unity and cohesion of the
campus.
• The integration between the hardscape and the
softscape in open spaces creates integrated,
holistic spaces and helps in different uses
provision and separation.
PhysicalQualities
Open Spaces

15. • The provision of outdoor spaces for educational
use is very good serving the concept of student
centered learning where the student acquires
the knowledge through performance and
research rather than being given the
information directly through the instructor and
this leads to better analysis and comprehension
of topics through group discussions.

17. Utilities, services and amenities on campus
• Social Gatherings: Seating areas should be
designed to promote social and extended
“hang-outs” that are flexible for student use.
• Outdoor Learning Open spaces should have a
variety of elements such as seating berms or
unique furniture
• Semi-Private Social Gatherings Open spaces
should include designated areas with smaller
clusters of seating surrounded by landscape
elements to create more privacy
• Private Seating Designs of open spaces
should include private seating areas to allow
for individuals to sit in solitude.
PhysicalQualities

18. Utilities, services and amenities on campus
• The usage of LED light which consume less
energy and requires less space.
• Louvered bollards or wall mounted lights are
better for walkways and parking bareas.
• Adequate lighting is only required for safety,
the light is only enough to reveal suspicious
behavior or hazards without being excessively
bright.
• The use of intelligent lighting that operates
according to usage.
• The use of lighting that operates with PV,
photocells or clocks or both for better efficient
energy consumption.

Qualities
WATER VEGETATION MATERIAL SOIL

20. EcologicalQualities
Water
• Storm water management, Rain harvesting systems
• Original natural landscape and vegetation.
• Rain gardens, green roof and rain pockets
• Water reuse and water recycling
• Water conservation and Irrigation systems.
• Integration between ecological systems and
educational awareness.
• Recreation created by storm water management
systems.
• Aesthetical acceptance of storm water systems.

21. EcologicalQualities
Vegetation
• Relevance to the site.
• Vegetation for energy conservation and microclimate
modification (UHI).
• Phytoremediation and Bioremediation.
• Protection of existing and new vegetation.
• Sustainable planting design and management.
• Using native plants, Invasive species.
• Vegetation for roof gardens and food production.

22. EcologicalQualities
Material
Aggregates and stoneConcrete
▪ Focusing on local aggregates and
reclaimed ones to decrease the
energy consumed for the production
and for the transportation.
▪ Aggregates can create porous
environment for the use of
infiltration and groundwater
recharge.
▪ It could be used without finish which
acts to resist the weather conditions.
▪ Recycled materials can be used to
decrease the use of new raw materials
in the mixture.
▪ Adding some additives to increase the
reflectance of the concrete and
accordingly reducing the heat island
effect.

23. EcologicalQualities
Material
WoodAsphalt
▪ Use flexible modes of fixation that
allows easier reuse of the wood.
▪ Use certified wood which assures
the quality and the replacement of
the used wood in nature to reduce
impacts on nature.
▪ Use of reclaimed wood which
decreases the use of virgin wood
resources
▪ Avoid the contact of wood to wet or
soil areas to achieve durability.
▪ The production of the asphalt under a
lower temperature provides more
durability of asphalt, lower energy for
production, as well as less emissions
during production. Increase the
permeability of asphalt to support
infiltration and ground water recharge.
▪ Provision of shading on used asphalt
increases its longevity as well as
decreasing the heat island effect.
▪ Introducing recycled asphalt to the
process of producing new one.

Way finding
▪
▪ The districts are different parts that can
be identified or classified according to a
common character that separates these
districts as different parts.
• The streets are linear separators as
corridors or pathways.
• The connectors are considered as
different paths that meet at a point or a
node.
• The landmarks are any purely obvious
space markers that could be a building or

26. IndividualUseQualities
• Each part should have a certain identity to separate it from others..
• Landmarks is used to mark way for users and to create memorable points.
• Provision of well-designed clear walkways, having a clear start, middle and end.
• Don't provide a lot of way options to decrease the possibility of losing the way.
• The provision of maps and signs in the spots of directional decision making.
• Provision of clear sighted in order to perceive the way easily.

27. IndividualUseQualities
Identification signs: that identifies the function of a building, a gateway, entrances
and exits of different buildings.
Directional signs: It gives the user the basic directions to the destination needed to
move from one point to the other.
Orientation signs: It is located mostly at the boundaries of the project, entryways or
the basic focal points.
Regulatory signs: This type of signs show the regulations of the place (do's and
don'ts). This type of signs should be easily and quickly read to perform its role.

Criteria for social interaction

33. SocialQualities
Group membership (informal social space)
• It would be better linked to the main circulation system. If it is away, then an
attracting activity needs to be added to compel the users from their daily
circulation movements.
• It is most likely to be successful at crossroads, major destinations or
conjunctions with food services.
• Seats and tables need to be added to these spots.
• Shelter against the sun or the bad weather has to be added.

34. SocialQualities
Friendship formation in open areas
• Making activity areas visible from the perimeter of different parts of the
open space.
• Create more shortcuts that could provide intensive traffic enhancing social
connectivity thus the chance of friendship.
• Making walkways intersect with zones of activity which could make the
commuter take the position of a spectator increasing the social connection.
▪ Provision of sort of spots that accommodate performances ready for
spontaneous performances or activities gathering people around.

35. SocialQualities
Friendship formation in open areas
▪ Provision of a small space for standing away from the pedestrian flow of the
walkway for a short talk.
▪ Provision of seats outside the traffic flow as a mean of social connection and
provision of a place to rest.
▪ Provision of seats by entrances and nearby each of the available activities as
well as that the flexibility of seats in organization.

36. SocialQualities
Communications
▪ The provision of suitable ambient conditions that facilitate and foster
communications between people.
▪ In places with traffic density, provision of a side standing zone is essential
for facilitating commuters' communications.
▪ Places known for being a spot of gatherings should be provided with seats.
Flexibility of seats to be suitable according to preferences.
▪ Sufficiency of light and provision of appropriate color of light.
▪ Minimizing or separation of different activities that could cause noise
interference blocking the smooth communication between the different
users.
