During winter quarter, students in the Campus Planning Studio will investigate
public transit issues as a principle strategy for reducing the use of private
vehicles, minimizing traffic and environmental impacts, and maximizing the
efficient use of available university land resources for uses other than surface
parking lots. In the beginning of the quarter, you will become
familiarized with past investigations in this continuum learning class (much of
past student work has been posted on the class website which you will be asked
to review in depth during the first week). The majority of class time will be devoted to
student group investigation and learning about public transit policies and
applying those principles and techniques in order to develop a feasible and
optimal proposal for a public transit system serving the Western community.
This seminar series is concerned about promoting awareness
about the choices that face Western's development future and the university's
role in the surrounding Bellingham community. Students
will work in small, independent groups to research issues related to Western's
master plan, in particular, transit issues, and develop formal proposals for campus
planning and development. Students will also contribute to the Campus planning Web Site.
First class will meet as scheduled, subsequent classes will meet based
on the mutual availability of students and faculty, usually one evening per week. For more information,
