Chesapeake College January 2012 Facilities Master Plan Updateaccessible parking spaces. This expansion will result in a net increase of approximately 108 parking spaces.New Parking Lot H:This parking lot located north and west of the proposed drop-off loop at the western terminus of the LRC Quadexpansion provides parking for future residential buildings and/or future academic buildings. This expansion willresult in a net increase of approximately 136 parking spaces.As parking is expanded, the loop road can be relocated, incrementally, outside the expanded parking lots. As thisis done, the existing loop road can be re-developed for a pedestrian and limited access emergency access lane. .In addition, a walking/jogging path may be incorporated into the original re-purposed/reconfigured loop road,supplementing and linked to the proposed pond trail.LRC QUADRANGLE “WEST”The LRC Quad should be planned to extend across the existing loop road to become the organizing element forfuture buildings (Queen Anne’s Replacement 2b and Future Academic Buildings). The LRC Quad should rotate toexpand along an east-west axis, aligning with the deflected southern face of the LRC. This orientation allows futurebuildings to have a preferable solar orientation to improve the use of passive and active solar strategies, such asnatural lighting, passive heating, and protection from overheating and deploy photovoltaic or other solar powersources. The loop road as shown on the Master Site Plan will be relocated to allow a seamless connectionbetween the east section of the quad and the new west section, without being bisected by vehicular roadways.LRC QUADRANGLE “WEST” DROP-OFFThe Master Site Plan identifies a drop-off loop that provides access with convenient and accessible parking to thefuture academic building at the western terminus of the LRC Quad and future residential buildings. Additionally theproposed loop road organizes and provides access to adjacent surface parking lot expansions. The open spacebetween the proposed loop road and drop-off lane offers provides an opportunity for landscaping, storm watermanagement and future geothermal fields.LRC DROP-OFFThis drop-off provides an opportunity to allow vehicular drop-off and accessible parking within close proximity tothe academic core. The design and road configuration provides a framework to reinforce pedestrian movementfrom parking lot D, Higher Education and CLEEn to the campus core.AMPHITHEATERIn order to take better advantage of the existing main pond, an amphitheater should be considered. The existingtopography would allow an informal or formal design amphitheater to be constructed on the west or east side ofthe pond. The advantage of the east side is that it could be developed in closer proximity to the concessionbuilding and new Parking Lot L, with views of the Chinese Pavilion, while allowing for construction of the new looproad on the west side of the pond.6-34
Chesapeake College January 2012 Facilities Master Plan UpdateAFFORESTATION / ENVIRONMENTAL LAND BANKAs the campus continues to develop and increase its impervious coverage, there will be the need to meetenvironmental requirements, particularly as it relates to afforestation requirements. The open space to the west ofthe Secondary Entrance Road (defined by the junction of Rt. 662 and 50) presents an opportunity to “bank” land tofulfill on-site afforestation requirements or to for the College to generate revenues by making land available to fulfillafforestation requirements for other development projects within the watershed. A significant portion of this landarea should be preserved for future afforestation and other environmental requirements. Because the Collegecherishes the open space image which is evident from eastbound Rt. 50 traffic, the Master Site Plan illustrateshow an afforestation land bank could be established on the south side of this triangular land area to still allow foropen vistas to the campus core.SUSTAINABILITYA number of campus projects, both building and site, have been described above to fulfill immediate and futureCollege needs. There on college campuses nationwide toward more sustainable design and LEED certification.There is an opportunity on the Chesapeake College campus to employ sustainable practices wherever possible onany development project. These practices may include the use of recycled building materials, building materialsobtained locally (within 500 miles), site planning that takes advantage of solar orientation, accommodation of bicyclesas a transportation mode, green roofs and use of native and adapted plant materials that do not require irrigation toname a few.6-35
