FOREWORDThanks to the generosity of Yale's alumni and friends,the University is in the midst of the largestbuilding and renovation program since its transformation during the period between the WorldWars.In 1993,contemplating the enormous task before us,the Officers and the Fellows of theCorporation decided to tackle the problems of our decaying physical infrastructure by studyingsimilar types of facilities classified by their academic function.We set in motion specializedworking groups composed of academic administrators,faculty,students or other building usersand facilities department personnel to develop program requirements for the facilities in severalareas:the residential colleges,arts facilities,science facilities,libraries and athletic facilities.Other筑素groups studied the needs of the Divinity,Law and Medical Schools.The work of these planninggroups has already led to dramatic renovations of Berkeley College,the Sterling Memorial Library.the Payne Whitney Gymnasium and the Sterling Law Buildings,as well as the construction of a newundergraduate residence and the acquisition and renovation of a new home for the School of Art.Three years later,we recognized that we needed to develop a general framework that wouldbring greater coherence to our efforts.We needed advice on how to respect the distinctive characterof the various parts of our campus and at the same time provide better connections among them.We sought not a master plan,in the sense of a detailed program,but instead a set of guidelines fordesign within various parts of the campus,as well as suggestions for improving the systems thatunify the campus,such as signage,landscaping,lighting and traffic flow.We also sought guidanceon how to understand the physical relationship between the University and the City of New Haven,at a time in our history when we were engaged in a substantial effort to improve the town-gownrelationship at all levels.In selecting Cooper,Robertson Partners as our consultants for this campus planningexercise,we affirmed a set of shared values and beliefs:Yale's ability to fulfill its academic mission is enhanced by insistence upon excellence in itsphysical facilities and surroundings.Much of Yale's academic strength derives from the interconnections among schools,departments and programs.Yale should be a faithful steward of its great architectural heritage and its new buildingsshould strengthen that heritage for future generations.興尚理Z.ZC.E1 INTRODUCTIONIntroduction1 View to Harkness Tower from thePierson College courtyard2 Sterting Hall of MedicineYale is a private university located in New Haven,Connecticut,a city that offers exceptional cultural筑素attractions for its size.New Haven is set in a diverse geographic area (which includes a harbor,river,and two largerock promontories),and has a rich New England history,an original town plan with a public Greenat its center,and a variety of architectural building styles.One cannot understand the current phys-ical issues of the Yale campus-for example,those pertaining to open space and landscape-without understanding the City context.Yale was chartered in 1701 to educate youth for"publick employment both in Church and CivilState."The University has always fostered a sense of responsibility to the world at large-a responsi-bility that Yale graduates have fulfilled with great distinction,enriching the life of the city and thenation through their inventions,artistic expression,new ideas,and civic leadership.While it began with one building,Yale now has 340 buildings and 12.5 million gross squarefeet.It is spread across 835 acres-200 at its Central Campus,25 at the Medical Center,110 at YaleAthletic Fields,and 500 at its golf course and nature preserves.Yale offers incomparable richness through both its educational and campus experience.It consists of Yale College(which offers undergraduate programs in humanities,social sciences,naturalsciences,and engineering),the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences,and 10 professional schools,including Architecture,Art,Divinity,Drama,Forestry Environmental Studies,Law,Management,Medicine (including Public Health),Music and Nursing.Not only is Yale the only private institu-tion with four professional schools in the arts,it also is one of the world's leading scientific researchinstitutions.Yale has the world's seventh largest library system,with over 10 million volumes in 21 libraries,including the Sterling Memorial and the Beinecke Rare Book Libraries.It has outstanding collec-tions in the Yale Art Gallery,Yale Center for British Art and Peabody Museum of Natural History.Yale UniversityFramework PlanA Framework for Campus PlanningIntroduction3興尚理素可网Z.ZC.E1
