  • The Western Carolinian VOICE OF THE STUDENTS i, November 4, 797] U C i ( • N.C. WESTERN CAROLINA UNIVERSITY *. TODAY AND TOMORROW A look at the master plan By Wo WAT HOPKINS Editor-in-Chief Copyright 1971 Western Carolina University, is changing and few people reaMze justhow much, Every building vhat is be ing construe ted, every approval that is being requested from the General Assembly, every in'< mark that is being made on a blue-prin' is gradually being merged into one master plan for the develop • ment of the university. Pedestrian campus That plan, which really has no com pletion date, will eventually call for the banning of cars from campus, and The budding of a completely pedestrian campus. Only service vehicles will be allowed on the main paths and "streets." Berg Newhouse, university engineer, and Dr. Doyle Dillard, vice-president for business affairs stress the factthateven though the master plan shows definite locations of buildings, paths, fountains, and perimeter lots, nothing yet is definite. Except, of course, the idea of a walking campus. The entire master plan revolves around that hub. Before the university can make the switch-over, though, Newhouse reported that three by-passes must be completed and the post office must be moved to its new location, The four-lane, 107 by-pass must be completed first, furnishing access iothe main entrance to campus, which will be near the Camp Lab School. A main road behind the present stadium and a by-pass road through Dick's Gap must also be built to allow traffic around the campus. When the by-passes are completed, though, perimeter lots will accommodate commiter traffic and no cars will be allowed on campus. Grass, shrubs, and gardens will replace much of the present walking areas and walking areas will replace what are now streets., A large fountain will be situated un- der the stop lights and a extravagant scenic path is planned from the fountain, by Dodson Cafeteria and Leather- wood Hall to the Art Complex. Walkaways replace streets from the WE | CARO UNIVERSI Y FOUNDED 1889 post office to Scott Hall, from Hunter Library by Breeze, Hoey and McKee to the post office, and from the post office to all men's residence halls. And all the walk-ways are bordered by greenery. There are parking areas near the residence halls fcr students that live there, and there are some lots around the class-room buildings for faculty and staff. Nowhere, though, does a street or lot penetrate further than the barest perimeter of campus. Size doubled The master plan goes much further than just laying out the paths aid walk" ways. According to Newhouse the long- range planning is based on a student population of from 9,500 to 10,000, and the master plan illustrates additions that double the physical plant of the uni versity. The plan shows that a student can walk from Reid Gymnasium to the Mental Hisalth Clinic without going outside. And he can take one of two paths to get there. Both eventually lead through the Business Building, but one also goes through the University Center, The plan shows that Reynolds Hall is twice as big now, and additions make Madison nearly three times its present size, and additions connect it to Joyner and Joyner to the Old Union. Proposed buildings also connect Benton Hall to the new men's hall, and place part of Buchanan in what is now Dick's Gap Road. Bird Administration building is doubled on the master plan, and the addi • tion is sitting in the middle of what is now the main road through campus. Of course, all plans are tentative, and some of the buildings shown on the master plan will not be built where the master plan now shows them. "We can't say 'This is the plan and we're going to follow it,' " Dillard said. "There will be changes. We don't know to what degree this plan will be followed." For instance, the plan shows the addition to the science building connecting Stillwtll to Hunter library, by way of the football field. It also shows a large addition to Breeze Gymnasium. "The science addition will probably not be that way," Dr. Dillard said. He pointed out that it would be over more, in the parking lot "It will still cut into the football field, though," Newhouse said. And New- house reported that the addition to Breeze would probably be eliminated. Slow but sure But whUe the plans are tentative, they still show drastic changes in the physical plant of the university. Dillard and Hewhouse reported that the university has already begun to move toward the final goaL "There is really no completion date," Newhouse said. "When buildings are approved (by the General Assembly)they will merge into the plan." The final result of Western Carolina as a pedestrian university twice its present s:.ze is still too far in the future for anyone to visualize, other than on paper, Structures that have already been approved and are in the immediate plan • ning stages, though, can give hints as to what is being done now to reach the final goal. The football stadium, the addition to the science building, faculty and married students' housing, and a 600 unit residence hall have been approved by the general assembly and are merging into the plan. The stadium and iaculty and married students' housing will be at the perimeter of campus so they won't be directly involved. The new stadium, though, allows for the addition to the science building that will cut into the old football field. "Later there will be other buildings goingup in that area, too," Newhouse said. Dillard reported that approved costs for the science addition were 3 1/2 million dollars, and for the stadium 11/2 million dollars. New sehool It can be safely said that there are very few definite plans in relation to the development of the university. It is also obvious, though that in a number of years Western Carolina will be a new school. By 1980 the President anticipates close to 10,000 students in enrollment here. Western Carolina will still be a long way from a pedestrian school then, but will consistently be moving in that direction. The Master Plan A reproduction of the master plan is on the back page of "Focus," The drawings on the plan are tentative, but a g>od representation is given. The light gray areas represent present buildings. The dark gray areas are proposed additions and buildings.
