Phase I Findings

• Discussion included
-- Growth
-- Research

-- Land use
-- Academic Villages
-- Transportation
-- Open space
-- City/University
Relationships
-- Sustainability
-- Technology
-- Challenges
Phase I Findings
Majority View is a view held by most of the
people that were interviewed.
Minority View is a unique view that indicated an
area that needs additional investigation
Phase I Findings
Challenges
Majority View: “Aligning our aspirations with
our resources” will be our greatest challenge in
the next ten years
Minority View:
Moving the university beyond tolerance to
acceptance on diversity.
Financial constraints on other institutions will make
CU pick up a greater share of the burden than we
will be able to handle.
Phase I Findings
Growth
Majority View: We will meet our predicted growth
(3500 more students) and it will be difficult on our
students and faculty.
Minority View: We will greatly exceed our growth
expectations in order to make up for lost state support.
Minority View: We will fall short of our expected
growth because we can’t afford the faculty that would
be required to do so.
Minority View: Support infrastructure is not in place to
handle the student services required for growth, thus
becoming the limiting factor.
Phase I Findings
Transportation
Majority View: Parking will be needed in the
future. It a severe issue for faculty and staff that
commute.
Majority View: Perimeter parking is appropriate
as a campus. It may become more remote as
time goes on.
Majority View: A freshman car ban would
improve campus parking supply.
Phase I Findings
Transportation
Minority View: A freshman car ban would be
hard on students. Out of state students rely
heavily on their cars.
Minority View: Peripheral parking is a safety
concern at night. High nighttime use areas need
to have close parking.
Minority View: “We have a walking problem
not a parking problem.”
Phase I Findings
Transportation
Majority View: Good transit service is very
important to access campus.
Critical for the success of East Campus
Need an efficient shuttle service to and from all
parts of campus.
Supports regional goals for reducing traffic.
Phase I Findings
Density
Majority View: The campus is getting too dense
due to all the recent development.
18th & Colorado is an unattractive urban
environment.
The new buildings are too tall and block mountain
views.
Phase 1 Findings
Open Space
Majority View: We are consuming our open
space for buildings and it is changing the
character of the campus in a negative way.
Minority View: The campus and in particular
the landscape and open areas are more beautiful
now than it was 20 years ago.
Phase I Findings
Housing
Majority View: The freshman residential experience
will continue to be the primary first-year experience.
Critical to acclimating students to college life.
We will be housing about the same number of students in the
future
More upper division students should be housed in the
residence halls
Minority View: We cannot afford to continue housing
all freshman and we will move toward a commuter
model.
Phase I Findings
Housing
Majority View: Family housing will be an
important tool in recruiting the best graduate
students.
Minority View: Consider also single student
apartments for graduate students.
Phase I Findings
Residential Academic Programs
Majority View: Residential Academic Programs
will become prevalent and most students will
experience it in their first year.
Minority View: We are reaching the limits of
new programs because we won’t be able to
recruit faculty to live and teach in the residence
halls.
Phase I Findings
Sustainability
Majority View: Sustainability will be an
important part of the university’s future.
We have to do our part.
We will need to meet the carbon goals of the 2030
plan
Minority View: Can we afford it?
Phase I Findings
City/University

Both entities want to work together better
Potential for university affiliates to integrate into the
City’s community boards and commissions
