CALIFORNIA STATE POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY, POMONA | MASTER PLAN UPDATE

CAL POLY POMONA CAMPUS MASTER PLAN FORUM | FEBRUARY 11, 2010


STAKEHOLDER VISIONS


ASSETS • Diversity of students • Location + Climate • Natural beauty of campus • Concentrated, walkable academic core • Available land • Polytechnic = unique profile • New library • Treasures and traditions

• Rose Float • Horses and pastures • Arabian Horse Center • Old Stables • Kellogg Manor • Sycamores • Rose Garden and Japanese Garden


MAJOR CONSTRAINTS • Seismic • Terrain • Students need cars to get to work • Limited funds for new construction • State will not fund meeting space, research labs • Need for larger classrooms • Kellogg Drive as pedestrian barrier


RECURRENT THEMES • Lack of clear identity • Undefined sense of arrival • Desire to build stronger on-campus community • Athletics and recreation • Deficit of large gathering spaces • Pride in campus appearance • Importance of polytechnic mission • Need for dedicated research space • Sustainability • Convenience of student services • Need for more effective circulation • Public safety • Enhance interconnectedness • Need for neutral ground


ACADEMIC ISSUES • Importance of polytechnic mission and method • Lack of large classrooms • Uneven technology in classrooms • Poor quality instructional space in some buildings • Dispersion of faculty and programs • Lack of space for meeting with students • Lack of research space • Desire for flexible "start up" space for new areas of research • Need for neutral ground for faculty • Lack of a home for faculty within a college • Proximity to complementary programs is nice but not necessary • Consolidation is desired for convenience, collaboration, and identity


STUDENT ISSUES • Lack of university identity and pride • Strong community and student engagement exists • Students lack places to gather, both inside and outside • Need for student-based project space • Lack of after-hours options • Agreement that increasing on-campus housing is one of the best strategies

for improving student life and community on campus • Increase in student housing will require commensurate increase in on-

campus services • New suites are popular, campus largely feels safe, strong connection to the

landscape and history


CORE ISSUES • Sustainability • Identity • Concentration • Land Use • Vehicular Circulation • Pedestrian Connections • Open Spaces / Special Places • Polytechnic Experience
