| In the Fall of 1999, the University of Maryland School of Architecture held
an Urban Design Studio led by prominent architects and urban designers.
This studio was a graduate level exercise that provided four models for
the transformation of the East Campus District into a mixed-use neighbor-
hood consisting of residential, office, and research space. The studio
determined that the character of redevelopment should be of an urban
character and recognized the need for retail development. |

| During 2006, the University of Maryland School of Architecture and the
Student Government Association held a forum and a student charrette to
gather student ideas for the redevelopment of the East Campus. |

| The Æsthetic Guidelines for the Development of the East Campus were
developed by the University in early 2004. This document was intended
to provide guidelines for potential building designers at a time when the
University was considering being the developer of this site.
|
|
| Since that time the University has decided to partner with the private
sector to develop the East Campus district of the campus. While this
document continues to offer what the University considers good
guidance to potential development teams, it is not intended to be
prescriptive. The University seeks to develop this important area of the
campus in a way which reflects not only its own architectural and
aesthetic ideas, but those of its development partner. |
