Pedestrian Circulation
As noted in the landscape master plan by Trowbridge & Wolf, SUNY
Cobleskill’s campus has a fractured circulation pattern that loosely follows
the ridge line across the east campus, from Frisbie Hall down to Knapp.
This circulation does not easily correlate with internal building circulation
and it negatively impacts the cohesiveness of the campus. As such, the
many lawns of the east campus are traversed by numerous “desire lines”
or shortcuts where the grass has been worn out.
Pedestrian circulation across route 7 is also a concern in that there are
numerous low volume crossing points between the east and west campus,
and these points are often not well marked to vehicles.
