FRAMEWORKS This Campus Master Plan establishes strategies for neighborhoods, landscape, circulation, partnership, and on-campus housing. Collectively, these frameworks provide the foundation for a unified and comprehensive master plan that reinforces the guiding principles of the University and broader campus community.
Neighborhoods The Campus Master Plan develops an organizational structure for the campus that builds on campus neighborhoods. Neighborhoods are distinguished by the defining characteristics of their open spaces. These open spaces are forums for campus life and provide needed community space. Homeroom forecourts offer important gathering space for individual colleges and link interior spaces to neighborhood open space. One college or several may be identified within a specific neighborhood.
Landscape The Campus Master Plan reinforces and expands the campus landscape framework. Building on Cal Poly’s landscape heritage, the plan improves existing pedestrian connections, establishes outdoor community gathering spaces, and enhances connections and spaces between buildings. Plazas and forecourts open buildings to the outdoors, blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor community space. A new Botanical Necklace connects Cal Poly’s unique gardens and open spaces, creating opportunities for future gardens and botanical areas. The landscape framework supports a pedestrian-oriented campus, celebrates sustainability, and enhances campus community. { EXECUTIVE SUMMARY } 5

Pedestrian/Bicycle Circulation The improvement and expansion of the pedestrian and bicycle networks are a key component of the Campus Master Plan. The plan expands the existing pedestrian network and connects the academic core to outlying areas of the campus. Pedestrian improvements, supported by well-defined pathways, improve access, safety, and clarity.
The Campus Master Plan encourages the use of bicycling as a sustainable transportation alternative. It provides clear and safe bicycle routes on campus and integrates cycling with the larger transportation system. A system of shared and separated pathways allow cyclists to circulate throughout campus, linking key parking facilities, academic and residential areas, project areas, and athletics to the academic center.
Parking/Vehicular Circulation The Campus Master Plan describes changes to improve vehicular circulation on campus. These changes create a safer and more accessible campus and improve service and emergency access. Non-university traffic is rerouted around the campus core, reducing the volume and speed of traffic though the campus and improving pedestrian safety. Managed roadways improve the pedestrian experience on campus while allowing service and emergency vehicle access. A new parking structure on the South Campus supports the construction of new student housing and provides expanded parking for sporting events. Concentrating parking in this area also distributes parking more evenly across campus, further reducing unnecessary vehicular traffic through the campus core. { EXECUTIVE SUMMARY } 7
Partnerships IMPLEMENTATION The Campus Master Plan designates areas for Public/Private Partnerships. The Campus Master Plan anticipates a campus buildout to accommodate These Partnerships promote the academic mission, foster community 20,000 full–time equivalent (FTE) students by 2030. The plan proposes a involvement and outreach, leverage infrastructure and program flexible approach to implementation that allows the University to respond improvements on the campus, create income-generating opportunities to changes in both funding and policy on the University and State levels. to sustain the University, and provide diversity of services to support Opportunities to leverage private development will be used to help a living/learning/working environment. Building upon the success of support the University’s mission and provide the first-class facilities the Innovation Village, the Northeast Quadrant will accommodate research University requires. and office space. The South Campus will focus on mixed-use development with opportunities for retail and housing.
Housing The Campus Master Plan reaffirms the University’s commitment to create additional on-campus housing for students, faculty and staff. The plan describes the replacement of existing housing with the Eastern Commons mixed-use housing and academic expansion. Phase III of the suite housing is planned for South Campus. There are opportunities for partnership housing on South Campus and with the City of Walnut to provide additional student accommodations as well as faculty and staff housing.

The Campus Master Plan recognizes the importance of experiential learning and scholarship, designating specific areas on campus for project space and providing a wide range of academic facilities to accommodate varying pedagogies.
GOAL 2: Collaboratively strengthen our diverse, learning-centered community, and enhance interactions across disciplines. The Campus Master Plan prioritizes the creation of community gathering spaces throughout the campus. These interior and exterior spaces facilitate increased interaction and work to develop a stronger sense of campus community. { 1 GOALS & APPROACH } 13
Planning Process The campus planning effort was a multi-year process, structured to include stakeholder involvement and campus community input through a series of work sessions and open campus forums. Beginning with a presentation at Fall Conference in 2007, a broad range of campus constituents were engaged throughout the process, including the College Deans; the Associated Students Incorporated (ASI) Senate; the Cal Poly Pomona Foundation; and the Master Plan Committee, specifically established to serve as an advisory board in setting and guiding the plan.
The planning process was organized around six phases: 1. Project Initiation & Goal Identification
2. Program Data Collection & Analysis
3. Master Plan Development Alternatives

The following meetings and forums were part of a large public outreach process whereby members of the campus community were able to participate actively in the planning process. These meetings helped shape and define the principles and goals of the Master Plan.
October-December 2009 In the Fall of 2009, several meetings were held with key stakeholders on campus. These meetings were an opportunity for members of the campus community to share their own understanding of the issues and concerns that the Master Plan should address. Faculty, staff, and administrators from all of the colleges and administrative units were interviewed over a three-month period, and their feedback was recorded and incorporated into the development of the planning principles. Some of the key issues identified by the interviewees were the desire for a stronger campus identity, improved pedestrian circulation, and the need to upgrade or replace existing facilities. Cal Poly Pomona landscape Sustainability Forum (November 2009) The long–term vision of the Master Plan is built upon the campus community’s commitment to sustainability. In November of 2009, a workshop was held on campus to explore what sustainability means for the University. At this meeting nearly 40 participants from across the University discussed sustainability from three distinct but interrelated perspectives. These ideas were then incorporated into the development of the Guiding Principles.
Environmental Sustainability Participants identified several environmental strategies to promote environmental sustainability on campus. Recommendations ranged from changing curriculum to reflect the values of sustainability, to exploring various greenhouse gas reduction strategies. Reducing automobile dependence and promoting transportation alternatives were identified as a desired outcome of the Master Plan. 2010 Student Workshop { 1 GOALS & APPROACH } 15
Social/Academic Sustainability The workshop explored ways to promote a stronger sense of community on campus. Key recommendations from participants included exploring hybrid classes, ensuring that students continue to receive a high level of access to their professors, and exploring opportunities to build stronger connections with surrounding communities.
Economic Sustainability The need to make better use of available resources has particular relevance given the current economic crisis. Workshop participants were particularly concerned with ensuring that future development not occur on campus land constrained by topography and other barriers that add additional financial costs. When possible, the University should try to reuse existing buildings and sites that have already been developed. The importance of exploring Public/Private Partnerships was also identified as an option for the University to explore. University Quad February 2010 In February 2010, a Campus Forum was held to discuss a vision for the November 2010 Master Plan. Participants identified assets that they felt were important to In the fall of 2010, a draft plan was presented to the campus community in Cal Poly’s identity and priorities. Key among these were the importance an open-campus forum.

Several issues and concerns raised by participants were the location of parking in participants mentioned the importance of promoting a bicycle culture relation to the campus core, the importance of providing bicycle access on on campus, noting that circulation within the campus core suffers from campus, and the need to ensure that the Voorhis Preserve is not impacted by not having strong east–west pathways and that the primary north–south future development. pathway is blocked by the bookstore. Improved accessibility to ensure that members of the community who suffer from physical disabilities can effectively use the campus was another key point. In this regard, the plaza by the new Library entrance was identified as a successful public space because of its flexibility and ability to accommodate a variety of users. 16

However, if the density of the campus core is increase in the number of applicants. By 2020, the state population is calculated, Cal Poly’s density is comparable and in some cases greater than expected to increase to nearly 43 million,1 with particularly strong growth that of its peer institutions. The uniformity across the campuses suggest in the Central Valley and Southern California. Together with programs that there are operational or pedagogical efficiencies associated with a to improve high school graduation rates throughout the state, this growth dense academic core. translates into an increase in the demand on the CSU system. Many of these students will come from predominantly low and middle income families, and will face real economic hurdles in being able to access higher education.2
To compensate for these reductions and to ensure that Cal Poly Pomona is able to meet the CSU’s mission to educate the top 30% of the state’s high school graduates and community college transfers, the University will have to explore alternate sources of funding. Public-private partnership opportunities offer one potential solution to the problems. These Partnerships promote the education mission, community involvement and outreach; create income generating opportunities; and provide diversity in services to support a living/learning/working environment. The success of Innovation Village provides a compelling example of how this type of development might be structured. Unlike many of the other schools

CAMPUS CORE COMPARISON 26 CAL POLY POMONA CAMPUS MASTER PLAN { 21 February 2012 }
Campus Character Cal Poly Pomona is situated along the edge of the San Jose Hills. Considered a Mediterranean climate, annual rainfall is less than 20 inches. The natural vegetation is primarily composed of California sagebrush and grassland, with stands of California black walnut and live oak trees on the hillsides above campus.
The northern and western edges of the campus are defined by the surrounding topography. From an elevation of roughly 1,000' above sea level north of University Drive, the site drops several hundred feet to the agricultural fields south of Kellogg Drive. The complex topography and steep slopes constrain development. As a result, the hills are largely undeveloped, used primarily for grazing or protected as part of the Voorhis Ecological Reserve. There are several environmentally sensitive areas on campus that have been established in order to protect native species of flora and fauna including the Black Walnut and the California Gnat Catcher. { 2 ANALYSIS } 27
EXISTING CAMPUS TOPOGRAPHY 28 CAL POLY POMONA CAMPUS MASTER PLAN { 21 February 2012 }
Seismic Constraints The campus is within 25 miles of a number of active fault zones, including the San Andreas and Chino faults and several smaller fault lines. One of these faults, the San Jose, bisects the campus, running from the southwest through the center of campus. Several existing buildings, including the Classroom/Laboratory/Administration (CLA) building, are within the fault zone. Potential seismic activity increases the risk for landslides and soil liquefaction on campus.
As seen in the accompanying diagram, steep slopes and fault lines substantially reduce the amount of land available for development. If land that is considered environmentally sensitive and existing utility easements are accounted for, the campus has a limited number of development sites. The master plan locates proposed development in areas outside seismic or environmentally sensitive areas and off steep slopes. { 2 ANALYSIS } 29
DEVELOPMENT CONSTRAINTS: SEISMIC ZONES, EXISTING UTILITY EASEMENTS, AND SLOPES 30 CAL POLY POMONA CAMPUS MASTER PLAN { 21 February 2012 }
Development Sites As noted above, much Cal Poly Pomona's 1400 acres of land is unsuitable for future development due to seismic and topographic constraints and the prevalence of environmentally sensitive land. There are also a number of culturally significant buildings and open spaces that are key elements of campus identity and should not be altered. Sustainability is a driver of development. Priority is given to previously developed sites (such as parking lots), and to infill development within the campus core before green-field opportunities. The planning process identified constraints such as fault zones, slope conditions, cultural sites, environmentally sensitive zones, and public water and utility easements. Additional considerations include the preservation of views, the consolidation of the academic core, improved pedestrian and bicycle circulation between buildings, and the creation of contiguous open space on campus. The Development Opportunities diagram illustrates the locations of the potential development sites. The primary development sites are in the academic core and between Kellogg Drive and University Drive.
Based on the criteria discussed above, there are approximately 120 acres of land that could be developed on campus, excluding the Spadra Farm site. { 2 ANALYSIS } 31

CAMPUS OPEN SPACE { 2 ANALYSIS } 33
Open Space and Landscape The University campus is characterized by formal landscaping, quadrangles, plazas, and gardens. The landscape gives identity to these places, determines the way people will use the open spaces, and shapes people’s perception of the campus. The University Quad and the Engineering Meadow are the largest open spaces in the campus core and provide important social and recreation space for the campus community. The Rose Garden and Japanese Garden are smaller spaces, more intimate in both their scale and composition. Plaza spaces by the Library Addition and Building 7 provide important places for students to gather. These open spaces are connected by pedestrian ways each with their own distinct landscape character and unique contribution to the campus experience. Landscaped edges along roads and pedestrian pathways contribute to the formal character of the campus core.
Outside of the campus core, the open space varies from academic agricultural land for crop production and animal husbandry to native vegetation along steep hillsides. The academic agricultural land is a visible reminder of the University’s heritage as an agricultural school and the legacy of the Kellogg family. Similarly, the sycamore trees that line Kellogg Drive and the horse pasture adjacent to the W.K. Kellogg Arabian Horse Center are defining elements of campus identity. The campus landscape is an essential part of the University’s identity and areas of cultural significance must be preserved and celebrated. The open space network is well defined within the academic core, but there are several locations beyond that lack clarity; are difficult to access; or have no clear, safe connection. 34 CAL POLY POMONA CAMPUS MASTER PLAN { 21 February 2012 }
Heritage and Ecologically Significant Sites Prior to its incorporation as a California State University, the Cal Poly Pomona campus was home to W.K. Kellogg’s Arabian Horse Farm, a private residence for the Kellogg family, and several working orchards and gardens. As a result, there are several structures and landscape features on campus that predate the University’s formal establishment in the 1950s. These buildings and locations are an important link to the history of the University and contribute to Cal Poly Pomona’s unique campus identity. The Old Stables buildings and the Horse Pastures are prominent landmarks that define the campus for visitors and members of the campus community.
In addition to the areas of cultural significance, there are several places on campus that have been identified as ecologically significant sites. These areas encompass several Black Walnut Groves and a habitat species. The Voorhis Ecological Reserve has been set aside in honor of a prominent University alumnus and is protected from future development. Faculty and students use this area for a range of research and academic activities.
Concentrating new development within the core campus preserves outlying areas of ecological and cultural significance. New development must respect view corridors to campus landmarks and ensure access to culturally significant areas on campus. This rich and varied campus landscape fosters campus identity. { 2 ANALYSIS } 35

Colleges Cal Poly Pomona is structured according to a college system. There are nine academic colleges: Agriculture; Business Administration; Education and Integrative Studies; Engineering; Environmental Design; Letters, Arts and Social Sciences; Science; Collins School of Hospitality Management; and the College of the Extended University. In addition to the academic colleges, Cal Poly Pomona has eight organizational divisions under the Office of the President: Academic Affairs; Administrative Affairs; Student Affairs; Instructional and Information Technology; University Advancement; Cal Poly Pomona Foundation; Governmental and External Affairs; and Executive Affairs.
The college structure is a defining element of the academic and social experience at Cal Poly. For many students and alumni, their University experience is largely shaped by their college. The 2000 Campus Master Plan recognized the importance of colleges and made them a primary component of the neighborhood experience. Over time, some of the college programs and instructional spaces have become dispersed and would benefit from closer geographic proximity. Improving pedestrian connections and consolidating academic programs strengthens existing college neighborhoods and promotes interaction among members of the larger campus community. The dense academic core is a key asset for the University and clustering future academic growth within the core builds community. Additional density at the academic core also preserves important heritage sites and academic agricultural areas. { 2 ANALYSIS } 39

Most importantly, the plan demolishes and replaces the student housing north of University Drive, which is also located immediately on the fault zone that bisects campus. Given their configuration, these buildings would be difficult to convert to effective academic spaces. This existing housing will be replaced by new housing and dining facilities located in the campus core. The plan will also explore opportunities for repurposing existing buildings. There are several buildings that can be modernized or expanded to improve the University’s ability to offer certain types of course. In particular, several of the existing academic buildings (Buildings 5, 6) within the academic core are in comparatively good shape and could be upgraded with minor renovation. Building 2 has been identified as a building for potential renovation and the fact that it contains several larger laboratory spaces gives it the flexibility to accommodate a range of potential programs. These buildings also tend to be situated within the fault zones and would have to be upgraded to meet current seismic code. Opportunities exist to update these buildings to the standards identified in the Education Adequacy Assessment while also meeting appropriate seismic criteria. These projects will be explained in greater detail in Chapter 3. 42 CAL POLY POMONA CAMPUS MASTER PLAN { 21 February 2012 }

Major vehicular circulation circumvents the campus core on the Kellogg Drive to service Building 89. Several locations are not serviced by University Drive loop road from Temple Avenue to Kellogg Drive. Most campus shuttle routes, including Eucalyptus Lane near the Student Center parking is clustered along the campus edges with some internal parking and University Drive near Building 71.

EXISTING VEHICULAR CIRCULATION AND PARKING { 2 ANALYSIS } 45
Bicycle Circulation While bicycle ridership is lower than on many campuses of comparable size, it is a viable form of transportation for a campus with the density and size of Cal Poly Pomona. Cyclists currently share campus pathways with pedestrians, and there is limited bicycle parking available on campus. The lack of available on-campus bicycle parking means that bicycles are often locked to light fixtures, street signs, and tree guards.
Vehicular Circulation University Drive, Kellogg Drive, South Campus Drive and Temple Avenue are the primary campus roadways. All of these roadways support substantial traffic volumes, with Temple having the largest. Kellogg Drive passes through the center of campus. The roadway is a visual barrier and restricts pedestrian access between the core campus, the horse pastures, and academic programs in the Northeast Quadrant. Kellogg Drive is used as a high-speed shortcut though the Cal Poly Pomona campus by drivers Parking Structure-Building 106 exiting the I-10 freeway en route to Mt.

The majority of Cal Poly provide service, emergency, and handicapped access to campus buildings Pomona parking, approximately 89% of the total, is located in the campus and parking areas. These roadways bisect the campus core and are often area bordered by Temple Avenue and South Campus Drive. In this area, adjacent to existing pedestrian pathways. surface and structured parking provide approximately 10,500 spaces, and on-street parking spaces total over 300.3 The largest parking areas are around the periphery of the campus, with a majority of parking located in the northern part campus between Kellogg and University Drives, in the C and F lots, and in the parking structure. This parking accounts for about half of the parking supply on the Cal Poly Pomona campus. Other parking concentrations are the M and J lots at the northwest corner of the academic campus and the B and K lots near Temple Avenue and South Campus Drive.

The following Guiding Principles characterize the vision. campus experience for members of the Cal Poly Pomona community. Open spaces define and organize neighborhoods within the core campus. Within these neighborhoods, individual colleges have community gathering spaces called “home rooms”. These spaces provide important focal points for student life and identity for the colleges. The proposed expansion of on-campus housing will foster a stronger sense of campus community. 56 CAL POLY POMONA CAMPUS MASTER PLAN { 21 February 2012 }
The Polytechnic University
The Master Plan reinforces the University’s commitment to the Polytechnic, learning-by-doing pedagogy. Recognizing the value of hands-on experience, the Plan provides for additional project spaces outside the core campus. These flexible spaces allow faculty and students to pursue project-specific research.
A Pedestrian-Oriented Campus The Master Plan enhances and expands pedestrian connections throughout the campus. The Plan provides for pedestrian and bicycle pathways connecting the core campus and remote campus locations. New parking/intermodal centers, linked to transit options and pedestrian and bicycle pathways, provide improved access for the campus community.
Identity The Master Plan maintains key campus open spaces and heritage sites while protecting or enhancing view corridors. New open spaces and outdoor meeting spaces reinforce campus identity and strengthen the overall image of the campus.
Sustainability The Master Plan builds on Cal Poly Pomona's strong commitment to sustainability, exemplified by the University’s Climate Action Plan, commitment to renewable energy, and resource conversation programs. The Plan addresses sustainability by promoting sound storm water management, alternate forms of transportation, sources of renewable energy, and compact, mixed-use development { 3 CAMPUS MASTER PLAN } 57

The Campus Center is the geographical center of the core academic campus. The Center and the open spaces bounded by the Library, Music and Theater Buildings, and the Kellogg University Art Gallery constitutes a crossroads of activity. The Master Plan recommends the mixed- use redevelopment of the Campus Center, with increased density, for academic, student life, and dining programs. The open spaces south of the Campus Center are developed as a new Civic Center and circulation hub. This area will accommodate a variety of active and passive public activities and functions, including structured pedestrian and bicycle circulation, automobile drop-off, and accessible parking.
The Agriculture Research building is sited as a connector between the lower campus and the activities atop Horse Hill. It is to be designed with accessible internal and external circulation from Camphor Lane to Kellogg West and Collins College. The building program will accommodate new academic and research space and allow the vacation of space in buildings 2 and 3 for College of Environmental Design programs.

Northeast Quadrant The Northeast Quadrant of the campus is designated for Public/Private Partnership development and for the expansion of research and project space. The Partnership development is modeled after Innovation Village, with similar density and parking provisions.
A centerpiece of the Northeast Quadrant is Lazy Citrus Drive, a new vehicular connection between Kellogg Drive at the I-10 freeway exit, and South Campus Drive. By redirecting traffic from the campus center, Lazy Citrus Drive will reduce traffic volume and traffic speeds into the campus, providing safer vehicular and pedestrian conditions. Construction of Lazy Citrus Drive is leveraged by the public-private partnership development. The Partnership development benefits from high visibility and easy access from the I-10 freeway and South Campus Drive.
Lazy Citrus Drive forms the southern edge of the Public/Private Partnership site. South of this roadway and north of Citrus Lane is the Physical Plant, Facilities and Construction, and parking. The Master Plan designates the land south of Citrus Lane for academic project facilities and a new Rose Float facility. The College of Agriculture Center for Research is sited at the north end of land designated for Academic Agriculture and Community Outreach. The building will be visible from South Campus Drive. Its location allows for direct access to Agriscapes at the end of South Campus Drive. Expansion for the College of Environmental Design Research and Project Facility is planned on the parking lot near Eucalyptus Lane. The primary designated use for Eucalyptus Lane is as a bicycle and pedestrian way.

University Quadrangle The University Quad is the traditional centerpiece open space for the University. It is a large lawn space with informal arrangements of shade trees of several varieties and ages. The informal structure of the walkways, crisscrossing the lawn among pools of shade, give the space a restful, park-like air. The lawn descends in a series of soft terraces from University Drive to the Campus Center. It is bounded on all sides by buildings constructed from the 1950s to the mid 1980s in a “state university style” of brick and concrete. Several colleges open to the Quad: Science, Education, and CLASS. Each building has an entrance on the Quad associated with a homeroom and a homeroom forecourt for the Colleges. Most buildings are two or three floors, with a single four-level science building at the northwest corner. Given the size of the Quad, the grade changes, and the presence of mature vegetation, the buildings provide little enclosure for the space and they act as mostly background elements. The Quad is used for a variety of functions including informal University Quadrangle recreation, events, passive activities, and informal group gatherings. A dining terrace at the Campus Center overlooks the quadrangle.

Civic Center This space gets its name from the public nature of the functions around it: the Campus Center, Library, Music and Drama buildings, and the Kellogg University Art Gallery. It is a crossroads for pedestrians and bicycles and accommodates events and informal gatherings of a variety of sizes and purposes. The space is a link for several smaller plazas at its edges: at the Library, the Campus Center, and at the entrances to the gallery and performance centers. Service for the Campus Center is at the west end of the building, screened from the open spaces. A drop-off for events is at the western edge of the Civic Center, at Building 24. The Civic Center space opens to the elongated front yard of the Bronco Center.
Engineering Meadow The Engineering Meadow is a large triangular expanse of grass bounded by buildings for the College of Engineering. This space is the address of the college and the location for the college’s homeroom in the Engineering Civic Center Laboratories building (Building 17), the dominant structure overlooking the Meadow. The open, unencumbered nature of the Meadow makes it attractive for active, informal recreation. Walkways are along the edge and the grass area is uninterrupted. The eastern edge of the Meadow is framed by the Japanese Garden. The space slopes toward its southern edge to the working areaway outside Building 13.

Eastern Commons The Eastern Commons, as the front door for the University, is the public centerpiece and address for a neighborhood of mixed uses including academic, student residential, and administrative. Plazas and courtyards act as neighborhood nodes related to the program areas. The streets and courtyards of the Student Activities Building and the Dining Hall are centers for student/campus activities and identity. They serve as public indoor/outdoor University homerooms. The several residential courtyards are "private space" extensions of the Eastern Commons neighborhood identity.
Bronco Commons The Bronco Commons is the neighborhood crossroads for student life activities in the South Campus. Flanking the open space are the Student Center, the Bookstore, Health Services, Athletics and Recreation, and the Student Suites housing. The Commons is a forecourt for those various Eastern Commons program facilities and a connector to the South Campus. It accommodates informal recreation, community events, and pedestrian and bicycle passage.

Landscape Framework The landscape framework guides the physical layout of the campus plan. The framework builds on Cal Poly’s landscape heritage to improve pedestrian connections, open space structure, and relationships among buildings.
Campus Connections The Campus Master Plan reinforces existing pedestrian connections in the core campus and extends connections to the outlying areas of the South Campus, Innovation Village, University Housing and the Northeast Quad. New pedestrian and bicycle pathways and shuttle access in the South Campus will connect the new parking/intermodal structure and transit center to the core campus.
The Eastern Commons development enables new pedestrian connections from the North Parking Structure and Voorhis Alumni Park to South Campus, becoming a new link in a chain of open spaces for pedestrian Open Space pathways connect the campus circulation from the academic core to the new student residences. The Campus Civic Center provides a new open space crossroads for the core campus, creating a vital connection between the University and Bronco Quadrangles and an outdoor centerpiece for academic, cultural, and student life activities.
Open Space Open Spaces on campus are for the greater campus community. They are flexible outdoor quadrangles, courtyards, and plazas that provide opportunities for impromptu activities, organized events, or academic settings. The spaces are typically framed by clusters of buildings and situated along primary pedestrian axes. Use, aesthetics, maintenance, and sustainability concerns guide decisions for open space plant materials and surfaces. { 3 CAMPUS MASTER PLAN } 79

Homeroom Forecourt The Homeroom Forecourt is a threshold for the college homeroom. These forecourts will link via transparent façades to the interior homeroom space and seek to promote indoor/outdoor program use. They are plazas or courtyards with seating for individuals and small group gatherings or classroom break–out sessions. Planting materials and furnishings are selected to provide areas of shade and an intimate scale.
Plazas and Courtyards Plazas are outdoor community spaces usually associated with a larger open space, building, or function such as a café or dining space. They are primarily hardscape areas with high quality materials and finishes designed for seating and gathering. Furnishings for these spaces include moveable seating and tables offering a variety of seating opportunities and flexibility to respond to user needs. The cafe space at the library is an example of a plaza space that fosters activity and a sense of community. Homeroom Forecourts connect exterior and interior spaces Courtyards are more intimate spaces, usually spatially defined by buildings or walls. They offer a variety of landscape experiences, often with garden-like qualities. Plantings are selected to foster a human scale. Seating accommodates individuals as well as small groups and can be integrated or free–standing.
The Master Plan describes a hierarchy of plaza and courtyard spaces throughout the campus. Varying in size and scale, these spaces provide memorable community gathering spaces and frame inviting gateways or portals. At Voorhis Alumni Park, a new plaza space links the campus to the parking structure to create a safe and attractive arrival space. Courtyard spaces are an integral part of the replacement housing near the Eastern Commons and the suites housing on the South Campus.

Botanical Necklace The Cal Poly Pomona campus has a unique, arboretum quality. The Botanical Necklace concept builds on the idea of the existing thematic garden spaces such as the Rose and Japanese gardens, and the Cal Poly Tree Walk. The Botanical Necklace runs along several east–west pedestrian connectors, linking a series of diverse garden spaces and providing a threshold to the academic core. The arboretum quality of the campus contributes to and enhances species diversity. Future options for additional garden themes that relate to regional climates and ecologies might include a California native garden, a woodland garden, and a Mediterranean garden. Beginning at the Bio Trek Learning Center, the Necklace winds along the edge of Horse Hill toward the Civic Center. Plantings in the Civic Center could reflect a particular planting typology: for example, California trees and grasses native to the San Jose Hills would be a powerful visual connection between the campus and the surrounding landscape.

Circulation Framework The circulation framework for the campus is an integrated network that includes roads; pathways; and facilities for pedestrians, bicycles, transit, public vehicles, campus service vehicles, emergency access, and parking.
Pedestrian Circulation The improvement and expansion of the pedestrian and bicycle networks are a key component of the Campus Master Plan. The Plan expands the existing pedestrian network and connects the academic core to outlying areas of the campus. Pedestrian improvements, supported by well–defined pathways, are designed to improve access, safety, and clarity.
The primary north–south pedestrian connections link the North Parking Structure, Voorhis Alumni Park, and the Eastern Commons to the South Campus and beyond. Similar connections link the South Campus to the University Quadrangle, Civic Center, and Bronco Quadrangle. All of the proposed pedestrian improvements are supported by accessible wayfinding and lighting for safety and legibility. The primary campus connectors accommodate pedestrians and bicycles, as well as service and emergency vehicles. Open, extended pathways not sheltered by buildings should be lined with canopy trees for shelter and sun protection. At South Campus Drive, a new pedestrian crossing connects South Campus to Innovation Village.
The new pedestrian/bicycle pathway from the Bronco Quadrangle to the corner of South Campus Drive and Temple Avenue will be a safe and accessible connection from the campus core to University Village, where more than a thousand students currently live. Along this pathway, a grade- change at the realignment of University Drive enables the development of a pedestrian/bicycle tunnel underneath the ramp to the new parking structure. This tunnel provides a safe connection, free of street crossings, from I-Poly High School to the campus core. { 3 CAMPUS MASTER PLAN } 85

Bicycle Circulation The Master Plan encourages the use of bicycling as a sustainable transportation alternative. It provides clear and safe bicycle routes on campus and integrates cycling with the larger transportation system. A system of shared and separated pathways allow cyclists to circulate throughout campus, linking key parking facilities, academic and residential areas, project areas, and athletics with the academic center. Bicycle paths should be identified through paving treatment or physical separation to ensure pedestrian safety and to minimize conflicts.
Cyclists will be able to travel north–south along new and existing pathways proposed by the Master Plan. New bicycle pathways run south from the University Quad, connecting to Innovation Village and University Village. Eucalyptus Lane is a direct bicycle connection between the campus core and the Northeast Quadrant. The overall network connects to the existing regional bike system and aligns with the City of Bicycle Parking Pomona’s goals for increased bicycle ridership. More detailed planning will identify appropriate locations for bicycle parking, including locations close to major entrances of academic buildings and common facilities such as the library, the campus center, student services, and residential buildings. The parking/intermodal structures are appropriate sites for safe and secure bicycle parking, a bicycle mechanics shop, and a bicycle share program. 88 CAL POLY POMONA CAMPUS MASTER PLAN { 21 February 2012 }
Transit PROPOSED REGIONAL TRANSIT IMPROVEMENTS Fehr and Peers The Campus Master Plan outlines a variety of interconnected transit modes, including the Bronco Express shuttle, the regional bus system, and the regional rail network. The existing shuttle system will be expanded, with new stops near concentrated centers of activity. These improvements will facilitate safer and more convenient access to all areas of campus, reducing the reliance on single-occupancy vehicles and advancing the campus’s goals to reduce transportation-related CO2 emissions.
Transit Connections Local and regional transit stops are situated on South Campus Drive and Temple Avenue, connecting to new pedestrian and bicycle pathways and the campus shuttle.
Shuttle Routes The existing shuttle network will be expanded to include connections to the Northeast Quadrant, the South Campus Parking Structure, Public/ Private Partnership development, and the new residential development in the northwest campus. Further analysis will determine the exact configuration of the new shuttle routes. The new Loop Road between Kellogg Drive and Temple Avenue allows the Bronco Express shuttle to avoid heavily trafficked areas.
Regional Transit The Cal Poly Pomona campus is situated near proposed regional transit projects. The Campus Master Plan describes future transit improvements connecting to these projects. The proposed Metro Gold Line East extension will link downtown Pomona to municipalities further west. As service options expand at the Pomona North and Downtown Pomona Metrolink stations, the Bronco Metrolink shuttle will increase services. As details on the proposed High–Speed Rail alignment become clear, the University transit system will accommodate connections to those services. { 3 CAMPUS MASTER PLAN } 89

SOUTH CAMPUS DRIVE
South Campus Drive South Campus Drive is a major barrier for pedestrians between the South Campus and Innovation Village. The Campus Master Plan reduces the width of the roadway to two lanes in each direction. It provides for parking on the north side and bicycle lanes in both directions. Pedestrian crossings are identified in two locations. One crossing will be at a new signalized intersection at C Street that accommodates turns from South Campus Drive and access to the parking structure and surface lots. A second pedestrian crossing will be aligned to B Street in the Public/Private Partnership development. This crossing continues into Innovation Village across a pedestrian/bicycle bridge over the canal. Reducing the width of the roadway and providing parking to support the new Partnership development is intended to change the character of South Campus Drive to create an environment conducive to pedestrian activity and safety. 94 CAL POLY POMONA CAMPUS MASTER PLAN { 21 February 2012 }

Parking The guiding principles for the Campus Master Plan propose maintaining a compact academic core and a pedestrian-oriented campus. New development and enhanced pedestrian access in the core foster student engagement, another guiding principle. Distributing parking to peripheral areas of campus contributes to the realization of these principles.
The Campus Master Plan redistributes parking on campus to improve access, land use, safety, and sustainability. The new parking structure and surface lot on the South Campus consolidate parking in this area. The structure and the lots provide parking for expanded student suites housing and for recreation and athletics. Parking is better connected to the campus core with pedestrian/bicycle pathways and shuttles that enable people to travel to campus quickly and safely. The Master Plan phases parking improvements so that parking ratios are maintained as the campus population grows
As discussed previously surface areas account for over 60 acres of paving adjacent to in the campus core. The Master Plan consolidates parking and returns significant areas of land to open space, resulting in a net reduction of impermeable surface on campus. While surface parking will remain necessary, the Master Plan includes guidelines to reduce the effects of storm water runoff and the heat-island effect associated with large expanses of paving. These are described in the section on Landscape Guidelines.

Partnerships The Campus Master Plan Revision designates areas for Public/Private Partnerships that focus on ventures between public institutions, private industry, and the University. These Partnerships promote the education mission, foster community involvement and outreach, leverage infrastructure and program improvements on the campus, create income generating opportunities to sustain the University, and provide diversity of services to support a living/learning/working environment.
Examples of such arrangements include employment relationships in high technology or research. Other relationships provide shared facilities and capital improvements that serve the long-term educational needs of Cal Poly Pomona. Public/Private Partnerships offer teaching opportunities through applied technology and research environment, and reciprocal learning opportunities for continuing education through the Extended University. Innovation Village The 2000 Campus Master Plan identified the area that is now Innovation Village as a potential site for future Public/Private Partnerships. Over the past decade, this area has undergone substantial development, attracting commercial tenants like the Red Cross and Southern California Edison. Innovation Village was planned for approximately one million square feet of development. The Master Plan identifies two areas on campus for additional Partnership opportunities. Both areas enable the University to establish new relationships with private industry with the potential to bring new activity and additional amenities to the campus community. { 3 CAMPUS MASTER PLAN } 99

An adjacent parking lot at the corner of Temple and South Campus Drives is a replacement and consolidation of remaining parking in the area.
The development of the parking/intermodal structure includes realignment of University Drive. This realignment provides direct access to the structure from Temple Drive, a new intersection and traffic signal on University Drive, and a pedestrian/bicycle underpass. The development of a road network in South Campus will facilitate additional parking access/egress from South Campus Drive. { 3 CAMPUS MASTER PLAN } 113
The planning of the parking/intermodal structure and surrounding circulation pathways should accommodate easy, safe transfer from the automobile to the campus pedestrian, bicycle, and shuttle networks.
Setbacks: Playing fields on three sides of the parking/intermodal structure provide setbacks for scale, noise, and environmental relief relative to major pedestrian and bicycle ways, I-Poly High School, the Childcare Center, and Housing.
Height and massing: The lowest level of the structure should be a minimum of one-half level below surrounding finished grade, then structured levels to a maximum of 48 feet above surrounding finished grade to the top parking level. Architectural means should be employed to reduce apparent height and bulk of the parking structure and its effects on neighboring buildings. Building massing should reflect the phases of construction with well- articulated building separation, while maintaining vehicular circulation. Such articulation, and other means, should be employed to reduce the horizontal scale and mass of the building and to provide daylight to the lower levels.

Potential Stormwater Strategy
Storm Water Strategies Campus-wide, the Master Plan recommends that the University structure new projects so there is no net increase in the amount of storm water overflow entering the City of Pomona storm sewer system. To accomplish this goal, rainfall should be collected from rooftops and impervious surfaces and transported via bioswales into detention areas for infiltration or retention areas where it can be stored for reuse. By working to achieve this goal the overall downstream burden to the regional water system and waterways will be reduced, stormwater quality improved, and rainfall reused to the extent possible to supplement the campus irrigation system. 116 CAL POLY POMONA CAMPUS MASTER PLAN { 21 February 2012 }
Potential Stormwater Strategy-Bioswales

Additional studies will be required to explore the viability of runoff should be collected in bioswales and conveyed to collection points. specific strategies. If expressed in the design of the pathway and landscape, this process can also become an educational opportunity for students, faculty, and visitors. Likewise, as parking lots are collectors of cars, planting areas should function as points of stormwater collection and infiltration. Additional opportunities to design for stormwater are the Botanic Necklace gardens that can become points of infiltration.

■■ Plants should be selected that can be maintained in their natural forms to reduce maintenance, pruning, green waste, and energy use.
■■ Shrubs and groundcovers should be selected that can serve as wildlife habitat, encouraging the presence of migratory birds, butterflies, and other species.
■■ Continuous planting areas and/or permeable surfaces should be provided between trees where possible, to increase air and water infiltration into root zones.
■■ Plant materials should conform to all local and regional codes and regulations.
Trees Trees are essential for place-making as well as climate mitigation. Trees Calamagrostis Karl Foerster Dietes Vegeta { 3 CAMPUS MASTER PLAN } 121 of an appropriate number, size and species are encouraged throughout the campus.
Shrubs, Groundcovers, Vines, & Grasses Shrubs, groundcovers, vines, and grasses play an important role in stitching together the fabric of the university campus. Additionally, they add color and texture to the landscape, and provide wildlife habitat, and aid in storm water mitigation and erosion control during rain events.
Shrubs screen parking, service, utility, and loading areas from public view. They can be appropriately scaled to minimize hiding areas or pockets. They insulate the building envelope, shade pedestrian zones, and enhance the aesthetic experience. Turf grasses can be used in areas intended for recreation, gatherings, or respite. Low-growing ground covers or pervious materials appropriate for the Pomona climate should be used in all other areas to reduce maintenance and watering demands.

Master Plan Projects The Campus Master Plan Revision is an implementable plan that has been developed through extensive consultation with the campus community. The projects are linked to the overall goals of the institutions and reflect the University’s ambitions, being mindful of the economic constraints of the current era and looking to utilize existing facilities and sites when possible in keeping with the principles of sustainability, a concentrated core campus, the quality of student experience, a pedestrian oriented campus, and a high degree of connectivity, much of the new development for campus programs is infill or reconstruction on previously developed sites. These locations reflect a thorough analysis of the environmental constraints on campus and potential synergies among programs. Building on the neighborhood concept, the Master Plan clusters college programs and facilities currently dispersed throughout campus. The Campus Master Plan projects are divided into five categories, by project type. The projects are not listed in terms of priority. However, they are placed within general time frames suggestive of an implementation sequence. Actual implementation and timing of the projects will be the result of the Five Year Capital Plan, donor and financing opportunities, and program needs.
As each project is developed, additional planning and programming work will be required to ensure that the project accurately reflects the University’s goals. 128 CAL POLY POMONA CAMPUS MASTER PLAN { 21 February 2012 }

Phasing The phasing strategy has been developed in consultation with the University community and describes an implementation sequence for the various facility projects and site and landscape improvements proposed in the Master Plan. The landscape projects have been developed at a high-level and future analysis is needed to determine the actual scope of the identified projects. The phases reflect the University’s Capital Project planning cycle and the project sequencing has been confirmed by the University. This phasing reflects anticipated funding and current University priorities. If funding for future projects become available earlier than anticipated, phasing would change accordingly. The proposed Partnership projects would be distributed throughout the several phasing cycles. Phase 1 includes projects that can be implemented within the short-term, in accordance with the University’s regular planning cycle. Subsequent phases continue to 2030 at the completion of the planning horizon. Following is a description of the proposed projects and site and landscape improvements within each phase. 138 CAL POLY POMONA CAMPUS MASTER PLAN { 21 February 2012 }
