CAMPUS
MASTER PLANS
2007
SAN BENITO HIGH SCHOOL, Hollister, California
The dramatic expansion
in both land area and buildings to accommodate growth at this campus
has led to a myriad of problems: the campus is bisected by a public street
and an actively fault line; buildings are scattered far from each
other; and significant congestion in the older part of the campus. The
master plan seeks to solve these problems by creating a more unified,
coherent and compact campus organization. Key recommendations include
a new bypass road to replace the bisecting street and the creation of
a new campus core.
SAN JOSE CITY COLLEGE PE SPORTS COMPLEX,
San Jose, California
This master plan intends to unite the currently
separate and obsolete PE and sports facilities on campus in a single
structure or group of structures. The new facilities will also
have a logical relationship with new and existing outdoor athletic
facilities, as well as become a significant feature in the campus
master plan.
The current campus
consists of a group of arced, one story classroom buildings surrounding
core support facilities. Student enrollment is expected to grow
significantly, from approximately 1,300 to 2,500 students. The
master plan seeks to reorganize the campus to make land use much
more efficient, to make the new buildings environmentally sustainable,
in a phased schedule that allows continuing school operations.
The plan was a key part of the planning process that led to the
passage of a $184 million general obligation bond in 2004.
The master plan for this mega-high school of over 4,200 students
completely reorganizes the campus layout and transforms its image
and environment. The school is divided into small “houses”,
each with its own center and support facilities. Facilities are removed
or added to create a coherent layout and to give each house a distinct
identity. A series of two-story structures replaces portable classrooms
at the rear part of the school, while a new award-winning performing
arts center anchors the main campus entrance.
MIXED-USE MASTER PLAN
2006
SOUTH WHARF SHANGHAI, Shanghai, China
South Wharf is a 42-acre site on the Huangpu River, adjacent to
the proposed 2010 World Expo complex. The project seeks to transform
this former shipyard facility into a mixed use complex containing
a luxury hotel, entertainment and sports facilities. The majority
of existing buildings are retained but reorganized completely for
new uses and provided with new facades. The project ties into a
planned future riverfront promenade that overlooks downtown Shanghai
on the other side.
