PART III - A. 6. The program for the long-range development plan calls for an urban campus in an open setting, so planned that all parts are easily accessible by walking or bicycling, free of conflict with auto circulation; that the auto circulation and parking are direct, convenient and unobtrusive; that the academic buildings are modular, flexible and compactly organized for ease of change and ease of communication among all disciplines; that educational resources and student services are centrally located, and that trees and landscaping are an integral part of the total design. 7. The program also requires that this campus shall open with facilities for over 500 FTE students by September 1970, and that it shall provide for 12,500 FTE students by 1982. 8. While the program logically does not require planning for more than 12,500 FTE students, there is the possibility that future educational needs might require facilities for many more students. This has been seriously considered, and the plans can accommodate a much greater population without loss of the conveniences and amenities of the basic plan.
