Ohio University South Green Housing Relocation Study Location: Athens, OH
Evaluation of options for new housing adjacent to existing South Green Residence Halls
Variables include: - size and configuration of residence hall buildings - roadway, pedestrian and open space systems - creative responses to the flood plain restrictions - which existing precinct claims the new housing, based on its organization and architectural style
Study clarifies needs of overall campus to: - preserve critical academic expansion sites adjacent to the core - develop and protect significant campus open space features adjacent to student housing and - accommodate scarce parking in this precinct
Options considered small residence halls that maintain the existing scale of the campus and larger residence halls that are more economically feasible in the current development climate
