The University’s program is organized in accordance with the distinct levels/zones created within the site. Academic buildings are located along the edges of the valley. Those on the north side of the valley can be used to accommodate the public programs due to their larger footprints. The residential program (access, undergraduate, graduate, faculty, and dining) are located on the plateaus.
Academic buildings will not be concentrated in singular mega-buildings, but rather, these will be in clusters of limited height--four stories--woven together by a network of walkways protected from the rain, but open to the elements. Located on the plateaus above the academic valley are clusters of student residence halls and student common dining facilities. The faculty residences are located in two- to three-story L-shaped residences, stacked to form a hillside, located around the perimeter of the upper pond.
