Design Issues
The individual Campus Plan projects, located on Drawing 1, fit within the broad development concept shown on Drawing 17. The framework for the Campus Plan is comprised of a series of use zones. Balanced against this structure are opportunities for development that reflect the basic campus design goals.
A prominent campus zone is the green corridor. It begins with Bowman Field and runs south past Perimeter Road to the Madren Center and Lake Hartwell. On the central campus, academic use is to the east and west of the Green Corridor and at its center is the library. The red arrows indicate expansion of academic use into surrounding zones.
There is an area of housing on either side of the green corridor, one bisected by Highway 93. Student life resources, which include dining facilities, are associated with each housing area. The athletic precinct is adjacent to the west housing area, and forms a green buffer along the northern edge of campus to the lake. Woodland Cemetery and the Calhoun Field Laboratory are special zones to be preserved.

Perimeter Road is envisioned as an opportunity to engage the public in the activities and events on the Clemson campus. It will provide access to community facilities, including Schoenike Arboretum and the Botanical Garden, Brooks Center for the Performing Arts, the Lee Hall Gallery, the Madren Center, and the athletic venues. Thus this road is labeled the avenue of engagement. It is outlined in orange, and significant access points from Highway 93 and Highway 76 are marked with orange symbols. To the south is a community resource precinct and to the north will be concentrations of parking to serve the University and the community.
