Brandon - Hillsborough Community College

Hillsborough Community College: Brandon Campus
4.3.4.2 Infrastructure Phasing
The final phase identifies completion of the campus with core campus build-out, completion of
the active recreational uses, construction of multiple parking decks, and completed / connected
pedestrian corridors.
See Maps 4-E through 4-K at the end of this Section.
A. Parking/Circulation
The final physical master plan envisions a major east-west loop roadway connecting
Falkenburg Road to Columbus Drive. The loop road will include a new iconic gateway
entry to Falkenburg which will relieve some of the traffic congestion that is currently
experienced at the Columbus Drive exit. Completion of this road continues to be seen as
critical to the development of the new campus uses and identity.
Existing surface parking lots located at the south end of campus will be converted to
building footprints and pedestrian ways. The parking demand will require the
construction of new surface lots to the west of the core campus (where there are
currently dirt overflow parking lots). As the campus continues to grow through the 2020
timeframe, some surface lots will need to be converted to new parking structures, which
are programmed in three locations on campus. Non-PECO funding sources for these
structures must be identified.
B. Stormwater
The existing stormwater management system should be modified to accommodate the
runoff generated with the new buildings and roadway improvements proposed for future
campus expansion. A total of three (3) ponds are estimated to be necessary for the
relocation of existing ponds and re-routing of the runoff generated with the new
impervious areas. Ponds are to be sized based on Hillsborough County and Florida
Department of Transportation criteria, depending on the location of the point of
discharge.
C. Sanitary Sewer
Coordination with the Hillsborough County Sanitary Sewer Department will be necessary
as specific building proposals are identified to ensure that adequate available capacity
exists. On-campus lines to be extended to future buildings as necessary and the existing
system may need to be upgraded to accommodate for additional flows that new
development may bring.
D. Water
The construction of the onsite water distribution system is usually based on the
construction phasing of the future buildings; however in order to maintain adequate
pressures and chlorine residual levels, additional lines may be built to loop the system,
