Case Quad Precinct
Projects in the Case Quad Precinct focus primarily on building new and upgraded research space, restoring the historic quad, and creating sightlines to the Campus Center and the landmark of Wade Lagoon. Nearterm project recommendations include the recently completed removal of the Baker Building to create a landscape “gateway” at the corner of Euclid Avenue and Adelbert Road; implementation of a campuswide identity improvement program; building an Interdisciplinary Engineering Facility; relocating the visitor parking lot along Euclid Avenue; and restoring the Case Quad as an archetypal collegiate space. New construction and modifications to existing buildings and spaces will be developed in such a way as to address functional requirements established by the Space Utilization Master Plan and Academic Strategic Plan. These projects will also serve to increase the outward focus of the campus by opening views to and from the Case Quad and to strengthen the identity of the campus through presentation of architecturally significant and appropriately-scaled buildings along the public edges of campus, both important planning principles.
