Campus Analysis


As part of the Site Analysis group we chose to do a study on the UNCG campus. We photographed each of the existing entrances on all sides of the campus. Pictured above is one of the main entrances leading into campus. This entrance is located at the intersection of Spring Garden Street and Aycock Street. This entrance seemed very inviting to vehicles passing by, or commuters coming into campus. Large side walks provide plenty of room for pedestrians to enter campus, or exit on to the continuing cross walks.

The second entrance shown is at the intersection of Spring Garden Street and Tate Street. This entrance provides a welcoming feel by displaying the name of our university, highlighted by vegetation. The median in the center of the street also encourages cars to slow down as they enter campus. The change from pavement to brick on the road, indicates where pedestrians can safely walk.

The campus analysis was done to provide different ideas for future landmarks or signage, that could potentially be part of the Lee Street Studios or the future West Lee Street part of campus.
