Design Principles
All concepts are guided by a set of overarching principles, derived from the participatory planning process to date.
These principles are:
- Emphasis on the pedestrian and alternative transportation
Efficient use of future development sites
- Celebration of the valley greenbelt as a connective, identity-giving, central feature of campus
- Integration of the new campus properties
- Strong visual and pedestrian connections north-south and east-west across campus that enhance accessibility and wayfinding
- Identification of landmark uses on sites that enhance SFSU’s presence and identity and invite the larger community into campus
- A strong identity on 19th Avenue and Lake Merced Boulevard, with open views into the valley, landmark buildings, and a consistent
architectural edge
- Buckingham Way and Holloway Avenue as “college main streets,” with neighborhood retail that appeals to both the on- and off-campus
communities
- Sustainability through native landscape, green building design, natural stormwater management, alternative transportation, higher-density
housing, and walkable neighborhood retail
- Gradual decentralization of parking in order to limit parking facilities to the campus perimeter and to allow for the ultimate removal of the
garage from the valley
- Connection to Lake Merced and the surrounding city through open space, transit, bicycle and pedestrian access, and better integration
with neighbors
