University of South Florida 2010 Campus Master Plan Update,
Tampa, FL
Mr. Conklin is assisting with transportation planning elements relating
to improvements to transportation demand management for the
University of South Florida Campus Master Plan update. As one of the
largest universities in the United States, the University of South
Florida is committed to a formal and ongoing planning process in
which the 2010 Master Plan update reflects the next step. Since the
last master plan update, the challenges facing the University have
accelerated and grown more acute as energy alternatives,
transportation limitations, constrained budgets, increasing regulation,
and an aging infrastructure combine to present a complex, interrelated
mosaic of issues that will be addressed in the master plan update. The
2010 Master Plan update performed by VHB MillerSellen
incorporates campus-wide sustainable design strategies ranging from
energy system improvements to transportation demand management.
MHUS Mobility Study, Orange County, FL
At the University of Central Florida, VHB MillerSellen worked with a
private client to develop a 2,100 bed, mixed use student housing
project. The parcel is located across the street from the University
entrance and is currently developed as a commercial center. In a
series of phases, student housing in 10 story buildings will be
constructed with commercial uses on the ground floor. The project is
organized around a pedestrian streetscape to emphasize the retail uses
and provide a sense of place. The University shuttle system will loop
through the project providing multi-modal transportation
opportunities. VHB MillerSellen is responsible for the entitlements,
site plan and civil engineering of this project.
University of Virginia, Transportation Demand Management
Plan, Charlottesville, VA
Mr. Conklin helped the University of Virginia develop a
comprehensive transportation demand management plan for its
academic and medical operations in Charlottesville, Virginia. The
project assessed existing transportation options and facilities serving
the campus, the geographic spread of students and employees, and
strategies to reduce single-occupant vehicle commuting to the campus.
The plan addressed the potential mode shifts resulting from different
transportation demand management strategies and their impact on the
parking supply needed to support university operations.
