Site Sustainability Priorities
Stormwater management will disperse stormwater to reduce runoff volume/peak concentration Stormwater BMPs will integrate landscape aesthetics to create imageable identity for campus CU-ICAR is located at the base of the watershed and includes airport runways Catchment area is rapidly urbanizing – stormwater runoff is increasing in the watershed Riparian Corridors Site development will conserve riparian corridors to provide connectivity with natural systems and support habitat The corridor is to be a healthy, safe and stable series of environments that will support the functional needs and research, teaching and service needs of the university The corridor is to be a series of quality environments that provide for the best plant and animal communities native to our region Building sites will be landscaped with indigenous plant material to reinforce site character and reduce need for irrigation Riparian Corridors/Stormwater (large graphic 217K coming) Circulation / Parking Site circulation will stack parking and reduce internal roadways to decrease impervious surfaces Additional transportation needs can be met through offsite (campus) parking and shuttle access Circulation (large graphic 217K)
