LATTC Landscape Master Plan Summary oct 2012

Site Plan – Year 2018

Three planning horizons are illustrated in the Landscape
Master Plan; Year 2018, Future Bond and Full Build-out.

By the year 2018 construction of new buildings and proposed
campus landscape projects to be completed with Proposition A,
AA and Measure J Bond funds is anticipated to be complete. The
2018 site plan illustrates the existing building and proposed
buildings to be completed and the candidate landscape projects
that could be completed. The purpose of the plan is to identify
candidate landscape and open space projects that could be
completed pending available funding and a consensus on open
space priorities.

Completion of all of the proposed new buildings illustrated
here and the 23rd Street Parking Structure allows for the
demolition of existing structures and site improvements that make
new campus open space possible; the North Quad at the heart of
campus between Magnolia Hall and Mariposa Hall and the South
Quad Recreation Field. Construction of a new Culinary
Arts/Design and Media Arts Building along Grand Avenue
opposite the Olive Street Garage allows for demolition of Sage
Hall and the creation of Wiggins Quad and street front
improvements at Washington and Grand.

Federal, state and municipal grant funds are available to
complete a portion of additional Grand Avenue street front
improvements.

Aerial View– Year 2018

With the demolition of Elm and Redwood Halls at the center
of campus, the North Quad is created. The XX acre quadrangle
is a shaded place for study or conversation and is also designed
to accommodate commencement and other campus events.
Sycamore Court to the east is a shaded paved plaza for outdoor
dining served by the new Culinary/Design & Media Arts Building
that adjoins it.

Construction of the new Culinary/Design & Media Arts
Building along Grand allows for the removal of Sage Hall and the
creation of Wiggins Quad and a new campus entrance at Grand
Avenue and Washington Boulevard. Diagonal views from the
street corner extend through Wiggins Quad into the North Quad
and the Mariposa Hall building entrance.

The South Quad is developed to provide a college and
community recreation field. A walk/run wellness course is built at
the perimeter of the field and is bounded on the north and south
by an oak grove that shades a campus walk and seating areas.

With completion of the parking structure at 23rd Street and
Grand Avenue the South Campus entrance court can be
transformed from a vehicular motor court to a garden court, with
plentiful shaded seating, that is a foreshadowing of the central
quadrangle.

Magnolia Court is a garden forecourt and campus pedestrian
entrance that serves Magnolia Hall along Washington Boulevard.
The new courtyard will be the site of receptions and pre-function
gatherings in the theater and places the restored historic Magnolia
Hall and Grand Theater in an appropriate landscape context.

2018 LANDSCAPE AND HARDSCAPE

Site Plan – Future Bond

Local bond funding for a future generation of campus capital
improvements will be a minimum requirement for matching
available State funding or indeed may be the replacement for all
State funding in the future. This plan identifies future campus
priorities on the horizon and not completed with the Proposition A,
AA and Measure J Bond funds.

Projects include a new Fitness/Wellness Center, including an
Aquatic Center, new instructional buildings at the corner of Grand
Avenue and Washington Boulevard and at Grand Avenue and 23rd
Street and the replacement of Ironwood Hall along Flower Street.
The fire lane entering from Flower Street is retained and vehicular
entrance to the new parking structure is provided at this
intersection. The F Ramp is removed. The new building and
large parking structure along Flower Street includes the
permanent home for Facilities/Maintenance & Operations and
Central Receiving. Provisions are to be considered for a future
Metro Train Repair and Maintenance Program that would allow
train car access from the existing line into the building.

Also illustrated is the property acquisition and build-out of the
remaining parcels bounded by Olive Street, and 23rd Street to the
east of the existing 23rd Street Parking Structure.

Grand Avenue improvements are completed for the length of
Grand Avenue bordering the campus.

The South Quad is extended and is of a size to accommodate
a regulation soccer field.

The campus perimeter wall is completed and a gate structure
at the corner of Flower and 23rd similar to the structure at
Washington Boulevard and Grand Avenue is added.

SITE PLAN – FUTURE BOND

Site Plan – Future Bond

Instructional space for premiere college career technical
programs such as Fashion and Fashion Merchandising are given
prominence in new permanent facilities at the corner of Grand
Avenue and Washington Boulevard.

Diagonal visual sight lines from the street through to the
campus quads is maintained at the corner of Washington and
Grand.

Additional parking is provided in a new structure completed as
a part of the replacement of Ironwood Hall along Flower Street.

FUTURE BOND LANDSCAPE AND HARDSCAPE PLAN

Site Plan – Full-Build-out

The site plan at full build-out looks a generation out and
envisions a campus of approximately 38,000 students.

The campus is entitled for approximately 800,000 SF at
completion, but preserves ample campus open space at the core.

Grand Avenue sidewalks, parkways and street trees establish
the college’s identity within the neighborhood. Gate structures
and pedestrian plazas mark the key pedestrian entrances at the
metro station intersections along Flower Street and Washington
Boulevard.

SITE PLAN – FULL BUILD-OUT

Aerial View – Full-Build-out

The campus at Full-Build-out preserves open space,
maximizes instructional area and defines and distinguishes the
campus perimeter within its neighborhood.

FULL BUILD-OUT LANDSCAPE AND HARDSCAPE PLAN

CAMPUS PRECINCTS
The campus has been divided into precincts. These divisions reflect the differing
nature of the spaces relative to their size, function, and geography relative to the
campus as a whole.

The following pages identify these precincts, as well as give an in-depth look into their
plan, function, and details unique to each space.

CAMPUS PRECINCTS

North Quad
•The North Quad should be grand in scale and simple in
execution. It is the active green heart of campus
accommodating student or staff members during a break
between classes or a large rally.

Columbia University Quad.

Johns Hopkins Wyman Quad. The Quad at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The main campus of the university consists of the central quadrangle surrounded by
academic buildings of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

CAMPUS PRECINCTS: NORTH QUAD DETAILS

North Quad. Plentiful shade trees fill the quadrangle and park benches surround the perimeter. Paths cross the quad and connect building entrances. A simple, easy to maintain palette of plant materials and hardscape materials unite the various
buildings and surrounding gardens designed for those buildings.

NORTH QUAD

RENDER VIEW

Sycamore Court. Adjoining the North Quad and the Learning Resource Center, Sycamore Court is a paved plaza that is the activity center for the campus. Campus food service in the new Culinary /Design & Media Arts Building serves outdoor dining in the
courtyard and under cover at the building loggia. Sycamore trees provide generous shade and bench seating is movable to allow for flexibility in staging campus events at this new campus entrance.

S. Flower Street

•The Metro stop at Flower Street and W 23rd St
functionally is a major pedestrian entrance to campus;
however it is inadequate as a comprehensible and
imageable entry, and provides little in the way of
wayfinding to the heart of campus.
