Plan
Continued from page 1
Gromatzky said. “You can’t
keep parking on the surface.”
To unify the campus, plan
ners want to extend the “spine”
of the campus, which begins at
the intersection of Texas Avenue
and New Main Drive, and con
tinues w ith a series of quadran
gles and roads, past the Kleberg
Building and the Heep Complex
on West Campus, Dennis said.
To achieve this goal, the plan
includes renovation of the open
space between the Langford
Architecture Center and the
O&M Building and additions to
the History Building. Also,
Jones and W. Lamar streets will
be extended to Wellborn Road,
and pedestrian and vehicle
underpasses will connect them
with Olsen Boulevard on the
other side of Wellborn and the
railroad, Gromatzky said.
Miller said the University
will work around the railroad
rather than move it because the
University and community
members could not agree upon a
new location for it.
The plan includes significant
changes to Wellborn Road as well.
“The distance between east
and West Campus is real as well
as perceived." Dennis said. “The
area must be developed to make
people feel that it’s not so far.”
Wellborn will be turned from
a state highway into a boulevard
with an island and lined with
trees, Gromatsky said.
“You see Wellborn as a prob
lem now. but it can become just
another street on campus,”
Gromatzky said.
After the changes, motorists
will probably choose to take
F.M. 2818 to get across campus
rather than Wellborn, said Tom
Woodfin, associate vice presi
dent for administration.
Future construction includes
a proposed group of residence
halls on West Campus near the
intersection of Wellborn and
University Drive as well as
developing West Creek
Greenway. a natural landscape,
behind the Kleberg Building
and Heep Building.
Landscape guidelines and
goals include extending the
grid of urban, tree-lined
streets and creating harmony
between the campus and the
surrounding community.
Architectural guidelines
include easily accessible
entrances, masonry construction
with like colors and buildings
compatible with the height of
the historic core of the®
