Design Alternatives
During the course of planning, many development alternatives were considered prior to confirming the 2002 Campus Master Plan. Several of these options are included to help show the depth of study that was involved.
Campus Development Alternatives
Drawing 24 shows several campus development options. One relates to the sector north of the Johnstone area. In the Campus Plan this is developed for athletics, however, academic use would be an option, indicated in red with an asterisk. A similar area that could be dedicated to academic use would be on the north side of Highway 93. The Campus Plan reserves this space for administrative use with research continuing along the highway, backed up by graduate student housing.

The use of the Calhoun field laboratory land south of Perimeter Road is another area that was studied. The parcel adjacent to the road was considered for parking, shown in gray with an asterisk; and the portion to the south for athletic fields, brown with an asterisk.
This concept did not include development of Perimeter Road as a way to engage the community, nor did it incorporate the extension of the campus green space south to Lake Hartwell. Omitting these features would have detracted from the Campus Master Plan, leading the planning team to reject this alternative.
Parking Deck Alternatives
Many parking deck options were studied. Each location had consequences involving such issues as the number of spaces that would be lost in its construction , the number of building levels appropriate for that particular site; and the potential for eliminating a site that would be more appropriate for another use. Some of these options are shown, with a key site map for location.
