Campus framework timeframe is about 20 years, according to Speaks. Purpose of campus framework is to create best place to create successful academic strategic plan... [URL='https://twitter.com/hashtag/BuzzwordCity?src=hash']#[B]BuzzwordCity[/B][/URL] Speaks mentions three goals of [URL='https://twitter.com/hashtag/Syracuse?src=hash']#[B]Syracuse[/B][/URL] in academic plan: Support academic excellence, enrich student life, create vibrant campus. Timeline being shown mentioning process began on my birthday in 2014 (Sept. 22). Also includes the May Carrier Dome survey. Keys to the campus framework are sustainability (energy and land), mobility (allow for options) and campus arrival (distinguishing campus) Pieprz done with that section. Speaks now talking about the history of campus. Did not know this but makes sense: When Syracuse was built it was determined no single style of building would dominate campus. Speaks: When [URL='https://twitter.com/hashtag/Syracuse?src=hash']#[B]Syracuse[/B][/URL] was built it was intended for the school to have a close relationship with the community (town and gown). More fun facts: First four buildings on campus were Hall of Languages, Holden Observatory, Crouse College and Tolley building. Speaks: There are no proposed buildings in the ideas we're being shown today. Everything is conceptual. Speaks: Mentions intention to renovate Archbold gymnasium, also get rid of cars and buses in front of Schine. Make it pedestrian only. Three finalists picked for National Veterans Resource Complex: Adjaye Associates, Shop, Snohetta Design... Also finalists for Obama library There will be public lectures with Q&As with each of the three finalists with first one in late March. March 22, March 31 and April 7 are the lecture dates at Slocumb Hall. ...They will not discuss proposals but previous work. They'll make presentations at the end of April and project will move forward with Board of Trustees. Speaks says the Dome is still under study will be at the center of an "academic promenade," will fit in with ACC level facilities. So the Carrier Dome wait continues. ... although it certainly sounds like university is intent on keeping it there (as we all expected) [/QUOTE]
