introductionThe recommendations provided in this Master Plan are the result of a collaborative effort between the consultant and the Campus Master Planning and Design Committee. It is intended to be a guideline for redevelopment of the major pedestrian corridor on campus extending from the Wellness Center to Medary Avenue.

The master plan represents the high quality values and vision of the campus administration, including:

-Creation of a unified and universally attractive campus corridor

-Extention of a notable pedestrian ‘front door’ to the edge of campus

-Improved pedestrian and bicycle access and circulation

-Use of quality architectural materials and landscape plantings

-Improved campus signage and wayfinding

-Incorporation of sustainable design principles

-Support of campus art

The Master Plan represents a vision for the future of the campus and shows the opportunity to create a series of memorable and timeless outdoor campus spaces that will change the face of a significant portion of the South Dakota State University campus.
