Campus Planning Committee member and professor of architecture G.Z. Brown expresses
his concern that the long range Campus Plan concentrates too much on individual parts
rather than the whole.
Planning: Proposed review
process improved for efficiency
Continued from page 1A
already gone through a considerable
conceptual planning process.
English department graduate sec
retary Michael Stamm asked
whether projects such as the basket
ball arena University officials are
hoping to build on the newly ac
quired Williams’ Bakery site would
be included in the off-campus re
view process. Committee member
Chris Ramey, who is the University
Planning director and architect, said
it would.
Thompson said after the meeting
that because the arena project is al
ready in the planning process, the
proposed review process would not
retroactively apply to it.
“That project is already started;
the question of whether it will be
subject to these new requirements
is highly unlikely,” Thompson said.
Much discussion centered on the
problems that can arise if the com
mittee is only able to review a proj
ect after it has already been through
the conceptual planning stage and
has the backing of powerful donors.
Brown said if the University
is truly interested in planning devel
opment at all levels, “it seems to me
...we would want the advice of the
committee for conceptual projects. ”
But Thompson said just because
a project has gone through a consid
erable conceptual process does
not mean alterations cannot be
made to the plan.
“We cannot be out there so-called
policing,” Thompson said, empha
sizing that the review process can
be very effective.
Ramey agreed.
“Almost every project I can think
of has gone through radical revi
sions,” Ramey said.
Thompson said it is important
for committee members to remem
ber that the proposed campus plan
is only a proposal and is not a
reflection of the quality of the
previous plan.
“What we tried to do is make it
very clear,” Thompson said. “It was
difficult to understand in the past.”
Thompson said many small de
tails have been removed from the
plan in order to make it more effi
cient, such as details about light fix
tures and a section devoted to de
scribing the mandatory setup of a
janitor’s closet.
“We’re trying to get the policy as
pect out there versus the detail,”
Thompson said.
