- To optimize academic research capabilities, it is recommended Sports Turf Management Research be integrated with the operation of the Golf Teaching Center and Golf Course. Hotel Conference Center and Alumni Center - To capitalize on programmatic compatibilities and high visibility, it is recommended the Hotel Conference Center be located adjacent to the Research Park, Golf Course, and Assembly Hall. - It is recommended the Hotel Conference Center and Alumni Center (or similar significant use) be located in close proximity for shared usage of food services and meeting room space. - It is recommended the Alumni Center (or similar significant use) be located at the terminus of Fourth Street to serve as a focal point. Existing Historic Buildings - It is recommended the Round Barns, the two Dairy Barns, the Horse Barn, and the Agronomy Seed House be retained for adaptative reuse. Golf Teaching Center and Golf Course - It is recommended the Golf Course be integrated with the Research Park and Academic Buildings to

attract tenants and staff. - As an efficient multi-use of land, it is recommended the Golf Course lake amenities be a primary location for storm water management facilities east of First Street and sized to accommodate Research Park and academic expansion. Campus Recreation - To facilitate use, scheduling, and maintenance, it is recommended the recreation fields be within the vicinity of the existing recreation fields north of St. Mary’s Road. Open Space and Landscape - Although the character of the South Campus is likely to differ from the formality of the main campus, it is recommended the open spaces be enhanced with well-maintained canopy trees, lawns, and landscaping. - It is recommended street tree plantings be extended along St. Mary’s Road, First Street, Lincoln Avenue, and Windsor Road to unify the South Campus with the main campus. - It is recommended the existing system of pedestrian walks and bicycle trails be expanded to make the South Campus more accessible for recreation, education, and research.
