COLLEGE TOWN SETTINGS

TYPE 1: FULLY INTEGRATED

Benefits: Establishment of school presence may contribute to revitalization, neighborhood

improvements, shared parking benefits May come with lower expectations for parking/services

Defining Characteristics:

• Town often established before school with pre-existing development patterns

• Mix of uses within block and/or building,

• Integrates/ respects existing pattern of streets and structures

• New infill building conforming to existing patterns of development

• Less Auto Dependant due to:

• Walk-able distances between uses,

• Established Street character and

• Limited parking due to lack of available spaceExamples

• Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), Savannah, GA;

• Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA

• University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI

• Portland State University, OR

• University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA

• Arizona State University, Downtown Phoenix, AZ

• George Washington University, Washington, DC

Providing Civic Leadership, Achieving Global Excellence

Nearly two decades ago, Portland State University embraced

a new approach to education — one that made the community

an active partner in the classroom Students and faculty put

theory to practice and work with businesses, nonprofits, civic

groups, and government agencies to solve real problems

facing our region.

TYPE 2: PARTIALLY INTEGRATED

Benefits: Neighborhood serving retail, character defining presence for campus and

city/neighborhood, shared parking but segregated services between town and gown

Defining Characteristics:

day

Gown

Examples

Town Gown Relationships: Type 2~ Partially Integrated Town and Gown Grinnell College, Grinnell, IA

TYPE 3: PHYSICALLY SEPARATED

Benefits: Town retains separated identify, minimized impact on local parking and infrastructure services (limits immediate economic benefit) Campus may create its own identity, separate from Town’s existing patterns

Defining Characteristics:

• Independent campus,

• Separate transportation network

• Large requirement for parking (often surface),

• Limited daily interaction between town and gown,

• Reduces economic benefits- retail accommodated on campus

• May encourage segregated uses (Administrative, Academic, Student Life)

• May encourage short distance auto trips between uses

“Students have said that with gas prices at $4 a gallon, [they] are going

to rethink how they’re using their vehicles”

Vickie Hawkins, Director of University Housing, Georgia Southern University, Inside Higher Ed Magazine

“We’re seeing it across the nation, students want to live on campus The retention from the first year to the second and persistence toward graduation is greater than those who commute”

1 Create an Enduring, Vibrant Place

2 Realize Fiscal Benefits for the City of Bend

3 Ensure long-term cooperation between OSU and Bend

4 Contribute to the healthy, sustainable outlook that helps define Bend

WHAT ARE THE

OPPORTUNITIES FOR BEND?

1 Create an Enduring, Vibrant Place

Provide both a community and campus quality of life to ensure student, faculty/ staff recruitment and retention This will allow OSU at Bend to become and remain competitively success relative to its peer institutions.

2 Realize Fiscal Benefits for the City of Bend

Maximize public dollars by efficiently using existing spaces/infrastructure and transportation options, while recognizing that the campus may have a visual impact on the image of the place.

3 Ensure long-term cooperation between

OSU and Bend

Plan for years of growth Consider faculty, staff and non-associated resident housing Create a method for integrated planning between Bend and OSU- Cascades to include housing, multiple transportation choices (Bike, Bus, Auto) and community/ campus connectivity

Create economic benefits to both the school and the city through potential offerings such as the arts, retail, housing, sports, etc.

4 Contribute to the healthy, sustainable

outlook that helps define Bend

Create a balance and mix of uses (housing, academic, administrative and retail) to allow for reduced dependency on automobiles on, and adjacent to, campus.
