  • 3.4 Existing Landscape & Open Space
    3.4 Existing Landscape & Open Space 3.4.1 Campus Character The character of the campus landscape inspires a sense of community and celebrates the history and legacy of Howard University. The placement of buildings has created formal open spaces and quadrangles that are further organized by pathways, legacy trees and commemorative elements. These flexible spaces facilitate opportunities for students, faculty, staff and alumni, to gather, celebrate, share ideas, experience cultural diversity and support campus community-building. Informal open spaces, to include entryway plazas and areas along corridors between the buildings, also contribute to the dynamics of campus life by providing places for students to meet, linger, and encourage pedestrian connections to other parts of campus. On-campus athletic facilities, and the nearby Banneker Park accommodate sports and fitness activities. 3.4.2 Open Space Howard’s open spaces, network of pathways, and public realm all form a network and physical environment that creates the backdrop for the overall campus experience. The open space network should continue to support the functional needs of the surrounding built structures, offer flexible spaces for students, faculty and alumni to gather, and serve as a community resource for the surrounding neighbors.
