5.3 Site CirculationAccess to and from the North Island College Campus with main entry from Ryan Road and secondaryentry from Lerwick Road provides two routes for vehicles entering and leaving the campus. As thecampus grows with increased traffic volume the Lerwick Road entrance may increase in importancefor access to the campus. Vehicular circulation is separated from the main pedestrian circulation atthe campus core with parking located on the perimeter of the campus.There is opportunity to add new buildings while preserving a majority of existing parking. Alternatemethods of parking management and transportation options such as car pooling, bicycles, payparking and enhanced transit to reduce parking pressure and demand that offsets impact of theincreased population as the campus grows are being explored by the college.Fig.4: Vehicular Circulation12 |APRIL 2013
Parking for persons with disabilities is anessential component of the circulation strategy.Available parking spaces near buildings shouldbe increased and improved with campusgrowth to ensure convenient access to buildingsthroughout the campus.The perimeter road provides vehicular accessat the edge of the campus and is currently notcontinuous around the site. The Master Planproposes completion of the road to form a ringaround the campus but to restrict access at thenorth end to service and emergency vehiclesonly, while preserving pedestrian only access inthe core.With vehicular circulation and parking limitedto the NIC campus perimeter, pedestrianmovement enjoys separated circulation throughthe site and among campus buildings. Themain concourse provides a major east-west axisacross the campus and provides an importantopportunity for interaction among campus usersand visitors. Existing and future circulation isillustrated in Figure 5,6 which include pathwaysthat provide a walking route around the campusand connect with adjacent lands as part of theneighbourhood network.13 |APRIL 2013
