MSI Design was able to identify a list of key issues, goals, and solutions to the existing problems. The recommendations addressed the distribution, proximity and amount of parking on campus as well as bike facilities and the development of stronger pedestrian links. The study also encouraged the use of energy efficient vehicles. The study evaluated the University parking and transportation policies and recommended changes to improve efficiency and understandability of the overall system. Parking lot plans were created for the recommended lots. As a guide to implementation, a complete assessment of constructability, stormwater requirements, and estimates of probable cost were developed. Addressing the central campus development issue of parking in an innovative and practical way, allows the University to comprehensively deal with the logistical concerns in the most effective manner, while preserving the character of the campus. Using this plan, the campus character will remain intact while accommodating students, faculty and visitors.
