Design Goals

1. The architecture should promote the interaction between students, faculty, and staff.
   
   
2. The architecture should be strong, classic, Northwest, and fit existing buildings in style.
   
   
3. The buildings should have much more natural light than the existing.
   
   
4. The buildings should integrate inside and outside spaces, including operable windows.
   
   
5. Many people think the bridge is intrusive, an eyesore that obstructs the beauty of the forest beyond. Some like it. Others suggest it be updated and improved.
   
   
6. There is disagreement regarding the outdoor "corridors." This needs to be discussed further.
   
   
7. New construction should not look out on the roofs of the existing buildings. Some disagreed.
   
   
8. It would be nice to have both indoor and outdoor athletic facilities. This should be reviewed as part of program.
   
   
9. There should be restrooms located close to classrooms.
   
   
10. A lot of noise is created just outside of classrooms. This is a factor in deciding where to locate them. It should also be considered when locating offices.
    
    
11. The entry should be welcoming, impressive, and generous. It should be a statement about the unique location of THIS law school. It should express that this is a GREAT institution in a subtle and humble way. It should relate to the new vehicular entry off of Terwilliger.
    
    
12. New construction should disturb the natural environment as little as possible.
    
    
13. Any new building(s) should enhance and enrich the existing campus. It should "spread" it as little as possible.
    
    
14. All new space should be as flexible as possible to accommodate future changes to the program.
    
    
15. Adequate vehicle and bicycle parking and support transportation should be provided.
