The objective of this master plan is to give a documented form to be used to implement the physical facilities portion of the strategic plan. By extension, the objectives are: ✓ To guide future development of the campus to ensure that new construction and renovation projects support the mission of PSC. ✓ To guide the growth of campus so that the goals for campus organization, land use, circulation, infrastructure, support services, and amenities are adhered to. ✓ To develop guidelines for design of built features of the campus environment to ensure that the campus remains a cohesive, integrated place that continues to meet the goals of the strategic plan. CROMWELL ARCHITECTS ENGINEERS 3 1 P a g e History of Philander Smith College Founded in 1877, Philander Smith College is the result of the first attempt west of the Mississippi River to make education available to freedmen (former African American slaves). The forerunner of the college was Walden Seminary, named in honor of Dr. J.M. Walden, one of the originators and the first corresponding secretary of the Freedmen's Aid Society. In 1882, Dr. G.W. Gray, president of Little Rock University, the institution for the Arkansas Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church, met Mrs. Adeline Smith, widow of Mr. Philander Smith of Oak Park, Ill., while soliciting funds. The late Philander Smith had been a liberal donor to Asiatic Missions and had developed an interest in the work of the church in the South. In making her gift to Dr. Gray, Mrs. Smith designated $10,500 for Walden Seminary. The trustees accepted the gift and gave it special recognition by changing the name of the struggling Walden Seminary to Philander Smith College. A new site for the school had already been purchased at Eleventh and Izard Streets. The gift made by Mrs. Smith was a significant contribution toward the construction toward the construction of Budlong Hall, the first brick building on the new site. Philander Smith College was chartered as a four-year college on March 3, 1883. The first baccalaureate degree was conferred in 1888. The first president, the Rev. Thomas Mason, resigned in 1896. He was succeeded by a member of the faculty of the college, the Rev. James Monroe Cox, professor of ancient languages. Dr. Cox retired from the presidency of the college in 1924, and was succeeded by the Rev. George Collins Taylor, a graduate of the college. Dr. Taylor served as president from 1924 to 1936. In May 1936, Dr. Marquis LaFayette Harris succeeded Dr. Taylor as president. During the administration of Dr. Harris, the campus area was greatly enlarged. In July 1948 the site of the Little Rock Junior College, adjacent to the South end of Philander Smith's campus, was purchased. On March 30, 1949, after an extensive program of academic improvement, Philander Smith College was fully accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. Dr. Harris was succeeded by Dr. Roosevelt David Crockett, a graduate of the institution, on June 1, 1961. Dr. Dixon, Philander Smith's sixth president, took office Jan. 1, 1965. He was succeeded by Dr. Walter R. Hazzard, who took office as the seventh president of the college on July 1, 1969. Dr. Hazzard was succeeded by Dr. Grant S. Shockley who took office as the eighth president on Jan. 1, 1980. Dr. Shockley was succeeded by Dr. Hazo W. Carter. Carter was elected unanimously July 19, 1983 by the Board of Trustees and took office Aug. 20, 1983. Dr. Carter resigned the presidency in August 1987. He was succeeded by Dr. Myer L. Titus, a 1954 graduate of the institution. Upon Dr. Titus's retirement on June 30, 1998, Dr. Trudie Kibbe Reed was elected by the Board of Trustees in February 1998 as the eleventh and first female president of Philander Smith College. In the summer of 2004, Dr. Julius Scott was appointed by the Board of Trustees to serve as the interim president while the college completed a national search for the next president in the wake of Dr. Reed's resignation. In October 2004, the Board announced the selection of Dr. Walter M. Kimbrough as the 12th president and he took office on Dec. 13, 2004.

During the administration of Dr. Harris, the campus area was greatly enlarged. In July 1948, the site of the Little Rock Junior College, adjacent to the South end of Philander Smith's campus, was purchased. This acquisition gave the college what is now known today as Cox Administration Building. The college began to grow at a steady pace through the middle part of the 20th century. The first documented Masterplan for the campus was developed during this period. After the development of this plan, a major interstate corridor was developed just north of the campus. The Masterplan was updated to reflect and deal with the impact of the interstate on the campus. Beginning in the 1990s, Philander Smith College undertook a significant building expansion program, adding 4 modern structures and renovating 3 historic buildings on campus. In the early 2000s, a housing unit was added to replace the aging dormitory. The campus now boasts nearly 25 acres of property and 390,000 sf in 18 structures. The Masterplans that have been developed in roughly 20 year increments for the campus have largely been followed, at least for structure locations and overall organization.

Nationally, the state is #1 in rice and poultry production; #5 in sorghum, grain; #6 in cotton and #8 in soybeans and grapes. The state also produces all crops normally grown in the Temperate Zone. Predominately an agricultural state in the past, Arkansas is now serves as the home office for such major companies as Jacuzzi, Tyson Foods, Riceland Foods, Sam Walton's Wal-Mart, Maybelline, Dillards Department Store, and J.B. Hunt Transport Company. Other major manufacturers in the state include Whirlpool Corporation, International Paper, American Greetings and Georgia Pacific. Although not a manufacturer, Stephens Incorporated, in Little Rock, is the largest off - Wall Street investment firm in the country. Mining and Natural Resources Petroleum, natural gas and coal top the list of minerals produced in Arkansas. The state leads the nation in the production of bauxite, quartz crystal, silica stone and bromine (# 1 in the world). Arkansas is one of a few diamond producing states in America and the only public diamond mine in the world, Crater of Diamonds State Park in Murfreesboro. Forestland covers more than half of the state. Pine woods represent 54% and the remainder constitutes mixed hardwoods, predominantly Oak. Three national forests - the Ozarks, Ouachita, and St. Francis - make up over 2.5 million of these acres. City of Little Rock Facts Geographical Location Little Rock, the capital city of Arkansas, is located near the center of the state at the junction of Interstate Highways 30 & 40, and on the south bank of the Arkansas River.

Mixed Urban Development encompasses the land north of the freeway, and extends south along Main St. and Broadway Avenue. Office use is predominately associated with the hospital and along Main St. The parcels, which have been acquired by Philander Smith to the south of campus, have been zoned for multi -family residential, but at the moment, they are open field/ park space. This area is also located along a traffic corridor, which contains some commercial. CROMWELL ARCHITECTS ENGINEERS 16 1 P a g e Adjacent Residential Land Use Areas The adjacent residential properties are predominantly single family homes, which are both owner occupied, and rented out. A few of the properties contain businesses, such as bail bonds, and daycare services. Interaction with Neighbors The college has little interaction with neighboring properties, and maintains a security fence and gate to isolate and protect the property. A liquor store which invited crime and underage drinking has been purchased by the college and torn down. Other unoccupied businesses and dilapidated housing stock are of interest for purchase for rehabilitation and re -use. Transitional Land Use Areas In addition to the liquor store property, the college has purchased a large tract of unoccupied land to the south of campus. This land is open field, and may either be kept as park space, or may be developed into housing and a community athletic center and fields. CROMWELL ARCHITECTS ENGINEERS 17 1 P a g e 1.6 Geotechnical Analysis Description of geological region identified by the study area. Description of possible structural considerations that must be identified before construction. These considerations could have an impact on proposed building sites. All of this information is taken from our soils report done at ACH, a few blocks away. *Information is for general use and conceptual planning only. Specific subsurface conditions may vary widely from one location to another. Design must be based on site-specific geotechnical data. Information provided by Grubbs, Hoskyn, Barton, and Wyatt, Inc. General Description The project site is in the Tertiary Wilcox Group and the Midway Group. The Wilcox Group is comprised of sandy, lignitiferrous littoral clays, cross -bedded river sands, compact noncalcareous lacustrine or lagoonal clays, lignite, and stratified deltaic silts. The upper layers of the Wilcox typically have a larger proportion of sand with varying amounts of gravel. The Wilcox is unconformable to the older Midway Group and thickness at the outcrop ranges from a feather edge to about 1000 feet. The Midway Group is of marine origin and it is comprised typically of silty clay, clay, sand, and silt. Locally, high -plasticity clays are predominant with marl -like calcareous sand strata. The thickness of the Midway at the outcrop varies from a feather edge to about 130 feet and the base of the formation is unconformable. The Tertiary formations in the area are underlain by the Pennsylvanian Subperiod Jackfork Sandstone. Shale is predominant in the Lower Jackfork with a variable content of fine to coarse grained sandstone. The shale is typically argillaceous, though some carbonaceous shale is present. The shale and sandstone units are typically moderately dipping into steep and quartz veins and inclusions are relatively common. The Jackfork is conformable on the Stanley Shale and is reported to have a thickness of 3500 feet. Foundations Light to moderate foundation loads could be supported on continuous or individual footings founded in the natural stiff clays. Footings should be founded at least 3 ft. below existing or lowest adjacent grade, whichever is greater. Footings must not be founded in non -compact on-site fill or the weak natural soils. Given the variability of the bearing stratum, it is particularly important that footing excavations be observed by a geotechnical engineer to verify suitable bearing strata. CROMWELL ARCHITECTS ENGINEERS 18 1 P a g e Alternatively, structural loads may be supported using straight -shaft drilled piers founded in the stiff clays. All drilled pier excavations must be observed by the geotechnical engineer to verify suitable bearing and acceptable pier installation. For support of moderate to heavy foundation loads, an intermediate foundation system comprised of rammed aggregate piers in conjuction with conventional footings can be considered. However, the feasibility of using rammed aggregate piers could be limited by the proximity of the highly -plastic clay. Seismic Design According to seismic risk maps, the Pulaski County, Arkansas project site is located in Seismic Zone 1, the "Area of low anticipated seismic damage." Based on subsurface conditions, a Soil Profile Type S1 and a Seismic Site Coefficient (S) value of 1.0 are considered appropriate for the site. In light of the shear strength exhibited by the overburden soils and the predominance of bedrock at 62-67 ft. depth, a Seismic Site Class C (very dense soil and soft rock profile) is applicable. Floor Slab At grade floor slabs supported on a properly prepared subgrade could be suitable for low level structures. However, site preparation must include thorough evaluation of the subgrade. Some basements may be included. As noted, highly to very highly plastic clay is present at depth. The heave potential is considered moderate to very high. Depending upon final grades and structural tolerance for movement, a suspended structural floor with a 6-8 inch void between the floor bottom and subgrade could be warranted.

The campus has a sign and exit from the interstate, and S. Chester is the route from this exit. Daisy Bates is a major East / West artery that connects Main St. to the ACH campus, and the only public entry onto campus. W. 17ffi St. is another major East / West artery that connects with Chester. The campus is gated at all intersections, but the gates are opened for fire truck access. The gate at S. Gaines and 12t" is opened for church services. —0 TJ Visitor Entrance a �� . Major Intersection r ffJ Fire Truck Access CROMWELL ARCHITECTS ENGINEERS 42 1 P a g e b Transit: bus routes Philander Smith Campus is adjacent to a single, city- wide public transit route. The Central Arkansas Transit Authority operates a single bus route in two directions along S. Chester St. and W. 17'h St. Multiple stops are provided on the route to campus. Due to this bus route, students and visitors without a vehicle can reach the campus from many parts of the city. CROMWELL ARCHITECTS ENGINEERS 43 1 P a g e Pedestrian Circulation Paved Walkways ED. ID75�''l q��Dit� DD, o �ve In general, the relationship of building and car circulation to pedestrian walkways has not been established. The sidewalks q follow the grid of the streets, and car traffic, making travel from building to building difficult. Each building has its own plaza space in front, but these are not connected. The outdoor green 189012D space is not used to full potential, since there are not clear paths r or landscaping to encourage use. f f P � i i i i i I S 4 3 I fr� CROMWELL ARCHITECTS ENGINEERS 44 1 P a g e 1.10 Built Environment Architecturally, the campus center and most historically significant building is the dames M. Cox Administration Building. The structure is red brick, designed in a Federal style in the late 19'h century, and has a grand staircase entrance that faces the campus green. The windows are aligned horizontally in 3 -ranked rows. The bottom floor has large, multiple paned arched windows, and windows on the upper floor are decorated with jack arches. The stylistic focus is the main entry, a paneled door that is framed by sidelights and thin columns, and crowned with a fanlight. The large cornice is emphasized by wide dentils. The Sherman E. Tate Recreation Center, which is also on the National Register of Historic Buildings, was built in the mid 20"' century, and is red brick with a wood interior. The roof is a barrel vault, with an unusual tectonic wood grid -arch system. The M.L. Harris Fine Arts Building and the old dormitories were built in the early 60's style of Modernism. While the brick materials used on the exterior are consistent with the rest of campus, the form is divergent from the classical style and balance of the earlier buildings. The Myler L. Titus Academic Center and Bookstore, built in the mid 90's, uses red brick with a cornice, large . multi -pane windows, and is successfully done in a symmetric layout that commits to the architectural harmony of the classical built form on campus. CROMWELL ARCHITECTS ENGINEERS 45 1 P a g e The Kendall Science Center, also built recently, uses brick on the fagade, but has an underlying change in grid and form, changing the Jeffersonian grid to angle toward the campus green and allow for view corridors. While striking in it's modernity, it does not conform to the historic context. The Wesley UMC Chapel, built in the early 20`h century, is a tall red brick, gothic structure, and is the hinge point for the campus. It is visible from the interstate, and is a link to the community, as well as a signpost that points to the underlying values for which the campus was founded. N CROMWELL ARCHITECTS ENGINEERS 46 1 P a g e 1.11 Campus Utilities Description of existing utility services for the campus: Includes domestic water, sanitary sewer, natural gas, electric services, storm water deviation, and communications. If utilities are within street right-of-ways that cross campus, it may present an obstacle to future planning/ building locations. The campus does not have a central power plant, and buildings have stand-alone utilities. Street maintenance on campus is the responsibility of the college. Electric lines are aerial and connected to pole -mounted transformer. In general, underground gas, cold water, hot water, and sewer follow the pattern of the city street grids, which are an organizing element of the campus. As these street right-of-ways are broken up by development, these utilities will need to be re-routed.

To move forward in developing a master plan, a set of objectives have been developed. These items provide the planning team with a basis for decision-making and detail a primary motivation for the development of the plan. These arguments are the basis for the long-term plan of the campus. This section begins with a study of the administrative vision for the campus, and then explores the objectives of the master plan as developed by the Committee and planning team. Next, many planning principles or guidelines are stated, giving a basis for the physical form of new development. Existing physical elements on campus are analyzed for long-term viability to determine the baseline or starting point for the master plan. Finally, long-term program needs are developed to target the ultimate space needs for the campus. The planning team has used all of the following data as assertive components to create the root basis for the development of the plan. CROMWELL ARCHITECTS ENGINEERS 49 1 P a g e 2.2 PSC Strategic Plan This document contains three broad goals, which are based on the Philander Smith Mission Statement. These goals are put in place to satisfy the objectives to be competitive on a state and national level to recruit and retain the best students and faculty, and operate in an efficient and cost effective manner which utilizes existing facilities and incorporates new facilities in phases as needed. Goals 1. To guide future development of the campus to ensure that new construction and renovation projects support the mission of PSC. 2. To guide the growth of campus so that the goals for campus organization, land use, circulation, infrastructure, support services, and amenities are adhered to. 3. To develop guidelines for design of built features of the campus environment to ensure that the campus remains a cohesive, integrated place that continues to meet the goals of the strategic plan. CROMWELL ARCHITECTS ENGINEERS 50 1 P a g e 2.3 Plannine Goals ■ Provide better campus signage- higher visibility. From Chester, I-630, and Daisy Bates. Create a distinctive, strong sense of place. • Control and separate vehicle circulation to create a walkable environment that encourages pedestrian circulation within the campus boundary and in the immediately surrounding neighborhood. • Plan for future buildings and open space, and improvements to accommodate growth needs and improve the campus environment. • Determine which building are past their usable life. • Develop and strengthen relationships with neighbors and institutions in the existing community. • Collaborate with faculty and students to assess needs. • Provide a range of housing choices. • Encourage a variety of transportation choices (bus, bicycle, etc) CROMWELL ARCHITECTS ENGINEERS 51 IP a g e 2.4 Planning Issues/ Principles The following planning principles used for the development of this master plan are based upon sound guidelines that have been reviewed and adopted by PSC and the Cromwell Planning Team. These principles are a reaction to needs and deficiencies identified in the analysis phase of this study. They are also presented as a positive assertive statement regarding the overall campus environment. Campus Organization A campus must have a sense of place, with easily understood edges and boundaries, gateways, and organizing spaces. The campus must have a clearly delineated organization with a strong center to promote a singular presence. This will help create a sense of place on campus and more clearly establish the place the campus occupies within the built environment. Land Use Land use by function will enable new development to take advantage of the proximity to support spaces and circulation. Grouping like functions can enhance the built environment for each user, contributing to a sense of place on campus. The division of uses across the campus breaks it into more manageable and efficient units or sectors, making it easier for users to understand and navigate the campus. For example, living spaces, parking, teaching spaces, socializing areas, and recreation spaces should have a designated area on -campus. Green Space Outdoor space creates pleasing and well -integrated surroundings. Pleasing outdoor spaces bring many advantages to the campus, such as an enhanced overall appearance. Varied environments are paired with different functions, increasing opportunities for way -finding and organization, contributing to the learning environment of the campus. Recruitment of students and staff will also likely be positively affected by the quality outdoor space. Gateways Promoting a strong statement at entry points and clarifying the campus boundaries reinforces the sense of place and aids wayfinding on campus. There should be a ceremonial entrance to the campus which expresses the importance of the College as a place of learning. In many cases this is a visitor entry as well. These gateways are most effective when placed at axes or intersections of pedestrian and auto traffic in the established surrounding neighborhood, with a visible presence to direct the eye toward campus. Land Acquisition Property ownership allows PSC the opportunity to better control their land for development and accommodate future growth needs. Future land purchases that will facilitate growth for this Master Plan include land south of Daisy Bates in a Transition Area that will connect to Village Square parcel. CROMWELL ARCHITECTS ENGINEERS 52 1 P a g e Organizing Spaces The campus must be organized around a network of indoor and outdoor places. These should offer users the opportunity to occupy the campus in a way that transcends the functional requirements of the spaces. This could be similar to the way spaces such as city streets, promenades, and parks are occupied with places of gathering and socialization, or private meditation. These spaces provide arrival points and orientation spaces for multiple layers of land use and function. The spaces also help give a simplified order to the campus which helps the user to easily understand and navigate the campus as it continues to grow. Vehicle Circulation As an urban campus, the PSC campus should develop an environment that accommodates and organizes the dominant vehicle circulation pattern. This position should not detract from the safety of pedestrian zones and the rest of the built environment. A balance that recognizes the need for the car along with the other needs of all users on campus is necessary. The vehicle circulation system should be clear, simple, and distinct. Vehicular movement to and around campus should be coupled with strong wayfinding schemes easy for cars to navigate. Vehicle access into the heart or center of campus should be restricted. This allows this area to become a place occupied by people and not cars. Pedestrian Circulation The pedestrian circulation system should mirror the vehicle circulation system. Accessibility from the surrounding neighborhoods by foot should also be maintained. Gateways or arrival ports should be provided at preferred locations. Once on campus, the pedestrian should find a clear, simple, and complete circulation system giving him/ her a route to and between bldgs/zones. Pedestrians should experience a pleasant environment that is not dominated by the car, but rather co -exists with vehicular traffic in a balanced way. Landscaping along pedestrian paths would enhance the environment while providing a protective buffer from the street. Since most campus users park in a location remote from their ultimate destination, each visitor becomes pedestrians for at least a portion of their visit. Crosswalks are also important for safety at automobile lanes. Pedestrian paths should be narrow- at the scale of the person, not the vehicle. Parking The reliance on vehicle transportation makes access to safe, nearby parking essential. Parking facilities are part of the visitor's first impression of the campus and will affect their overall experience. It is important that parking facilities be: strategically located and accessible; inexpensive; secure; and pleasant to users. Central parking should be located so that all zones on campus are easily accessed from those locations. As the campus grows, this may require at least one multi-level parking structure. CROMWELL ARCHITECTS ENGINEERS 53 1 P a g e Built Environment The overall campus form and aesthetic should reinforce the visitor's sense of place — a campus with a singular identity. All buildings existing and new contribute to the expression of the campus as a cohesive unit with definable edges and a strong center. All parts of the campus should be unified with a high level of continuity of appearance and expression. Outdoor spaces and circulation paths, and buildings, should be coherent and continuous with sensitivity to the overall design scheme of the campus. The density of the campus is an important aspect of the environment. Although a certain level is required for efficiency and program implementation, sensitivity to the relationship of building mass to the campus organization is necessary. Neither a dense downtown city block nor a suburban park -like setting for this campus would be an appropriate prototype for PSC. All elements of the campus should be nearby and easily accessible while considering land availability and efficiency of operation. Relationships of the existing and new buildings to adjacent structures, streets, and neighborhood context are also critical. While deep setbacks are not appropriate for the campus, issues of scale, mass, and arrival should be considered. Regard for the pedestrian is also an important consideration as buildings form and enclose the public realm along streets and pedestrian corridors, creating outdoor "rooms". As a link to the city and surrounding context, major view corridors should be preserved. In addition, view corridors on campus should be preserved as a means of creating a visual connectedness across campus that allows users to easily understand the campus organization and to navigate it successfully. Landmarks, view terminators, orientation and organizing spaces, and connecting circulation patterns should be developed or enhanced to achieve this goal. A very strictly ordered campus should be preferred over a dynamic, frenetic environment Amenities / Campus Experience Amenities - the overall campus experience of the user will hinge somewhat on the availability of amenities. It may not be feasible or desirable for users to leave campus for needed services. Others may not have vehicles to obtain outside services. Therefore, a significant number of new services should be provided on campus to enhance the user experience. Some amenities/ services could be nearby in the "Transition area", provided that a convenient and walkable, safe path is provided. Campus Utilities Basic services are currently adequate. Expansion as the campus grows will need to be closely coordinated with the providers to maintain adequate levels of service. Capital improvements in the past have been associated with individual building projects, and this method of development should continue to meet utility demands. CROMWELL ARCHITECTS ENGINEERS 54 1 P a g e 2.5 Baseline Elements A significant number of buildings on the campus have been determined to be inadequate to serve the long-term needs of the campus. These buildings, including the old dormitory, ML Harris Library & Fine Arts Building, Kresge Health Services & Porter Hall, Kresge -Mabee Science Building- have reached beyond their useful life and to repair/ renovate them would be cost prohibitive. Alumni Hall and Kelly Hall should remain as long as possible to fulfill the programming needs that they serve, but will need to be demolished to implement the later phases of the Master Plan in the future. Two categories of at -risk structures exist: buildings for major renovation, and buildings for demolition. The remaining structures are classified as viable for the long-term development plan and form the base line of building stock from which PSC will build their future campus around. R!D "!W a CROMWELL ARCHITECTS ENGINEERS 55 1 P a g e 2.6 New Program Elements Based on the needs to accommodate curriculum changes and student body growth, an estimate of the building needs are as follows: • New Dormitory ■ 250 existing units now. Traditional dorm only. ■ Students want more privacy. ■ Need to accommodate 500 students living on -campus by 2016 (50% of 1000 students) ■ Apartment -style housing is desired for non-traditional students. (this could be in village square or the transition zone) ■ Quality of housing is important. It is a recruiting discriminator. ■ Professional housing- for visiting professors, etc. • New Student Center ■ Commons ■ Student union ■ Campus center ■ Student organizations- up to 30 ■ Coffee shop ■ Conference/ meeting facilties. a New Dining Facility ■ Existing facility is aging and in bad repair. ■ Could be a part of new student center/ commons building. • New Fine Arts Building ■ Existing facility is aging and in bad repair. ■ May be used for community functions, lectures. • New Alumni Center ■ Recruiting and fundraising. ■ Does not need to be on -campus. Maybe in transition zone.

Harris Fine Arts Building and Kelly Hall will provide surface parking for approximately 100 cars. ■ A future two level parking deck to be built on the surface parking lot will provide parking for approx. 350 cars. CROMWELL ARCHITECTS ENGINEERS 57 1 P a g e 2.7 Growth Objectives • The expectation for growth is from 600 students currently to 1,000 students. • 7% growth per year. • Will have 1,000 students by 2016. • Current teaching facilities may handle this, as the college has accommodated this number of students in recent past. CROMWELL ARCHITECTS ENGINEERS 58 1 P a g e 2.8 Campus Goals and Objectives - 1. Visibility within the Community ■ Need to increase the awareness/ visibility of PSC in the community. This may be physical visibility or engaging people at the campus- get them on campus. 2. Top -tier HBCU 3. Improve Amenities / Campus Experience • Want to give students a campus experience. B Improve recruitment and retention. Fitness and entertainment are important to students. (campus experience, student services) e Increase opportunities for social interaction. (campus experience) ® New facilities should be "cutting-edge" for recruitment. 4. Green Campus e Follows social justice theme. 5. Flexibility o To adapt to new and emerging trends in education. 6. Maintain Small, Urban Campus Feel B Keep the relatively small feel of the campus. s Celebrate the urban quality of the campus. The campus should include all needs for the students so they don't have to leave the campus. 7. Fiscal Responsibility ■ Making good use of the capital funds required for growth CROMWELL ARCHITECTS ENGINEERS 59 1 P a g e l l L 8. Security ■ Way to have campus lockdown ■ Area of refuge • Install cameras • Need controlled traffic flows- one way? • Better lighting • Campus phones • Connection of out -parcels and maintaining security. 9. Growth beyond current 9 -block campus • Pursue expansion into surrounding areas - transition zone, village square, and west of Chester. • Plan for current and future faculty needs 10. Partnering Opportunities with other institutions. • Pursue partnering programs with UAMS and ACH that could benefit the College's ability to offer "scaleable" facilities not easily attained by larger campuses. Z L fia F c! ° a,. i01ii Goal to purchase property CROMWELL ARCHITECTS ENGINEERS 60 1 P a g e Section 3 3.1 The Plan The plan will be developed based on the research data gathered in the previous steps. This process will be iterative in nature, with multiple opportunities for feedback and revision of the plan by various faculty and student representatives on campus. The goal is to develop a plan that is responsive to the needs of PSC while building a consensus amongst a broad spectrum of campus constituents. Plan components that are documented include: Campus organization Gateways/ Signage a Open space Vehicle Circulation o Pedestrian Circulation • Amenities ® Land use • Campus Area analysis — Growth projections based on past usage. SF analysis, current and future growth Phased growth — Growth based on necessary improvements for full Master Plan build -out in three phases: a 2 year plan, a 5 year plan, and a 20 year plan. CROMWELL ARCHITECTS ENGINEERS 611Page 3.2 Long -Term Master Plan The long-range master plan is intended to be a flexible, evolving document, to allow pro -active work to improve campus facilities, and reactively, so that growth is adequately managed to meet the needs and goals of the college. This master plan is based primarily on the mission statement of Philander Smith. The planning team developed several objectives and planning principals that apply to traditional urban campus models. During this process, existing conditions were assessed, and short-term and long-term growth requirements were identified for the physical shape, mass, and density of the campus. In particular, the following needs were identified, and studies were performed to show how each element affects the campus as a whole. Program Elements Needed • New Dormitory On -Campus • Apartment Housing Off -Campus • New Student Center • New Dining Facility • New Alumni Center • Expansion of Kendall Science Center • Social Science/ Education Building • Multi -use Play/ Intramural Fields • Center for Social Justice/ Outreach ■ Fitness Center On -Campus 0 EuaIn s: Additlo, Mamtan�ncc 116?

The street and sidewalks along S. Izard should be emphasized and strengthened with greenspace and signage to encourage foot travel down the axis to the transition zone, defined as the land bounded by Chester and Izard St. to the east and west, and 15'h and 18'h St. to the north and south. In addition, a gesture facing downtown on the north part of campus will connect to the city, and be a visible marker for Interstate traffic. Internally, the campus may be divided into distinct zones. Overall, the south part of campus, starting at the Cox Building, makes up the student green space, and residential area. This part of campus should be more restricted to car traffic. The north part of campus, makes up the buildings that house more public and community functions, such as the church, bookstore, and fine arts center building. Parking space for car should be relegated to this part of the site, also. � b Z Q � U a Public/ Community ❑ © Buildings and Car Traffic d CIO ❑ c � _ Student/ Green Space LJ UCl (7� t n "�J v �I b Q 60 �❑ I' Q m�Q Q CROMWELL ARCHITECTS ENGINEERS 64 1 P a g e 3.4 Gateways/ Signage Gateways constitute the initial and final perception of campus. The master plan locations for gateways are: • Daisy Bates and lzard (ceremonial and student entrance) • Chester and W. 12`h St. (faculty entrance) • State St. and I-630 Frontage (visitor and public entrance) To reinforce the entrance statement, monumental signage, wayfinding, and extensive landscaping should be employed at each location. CROMWELL ARCHITECTS ENGINEERS 65 P a g e 3.5 Open Space Open space on campus is defined by all the space not occupied by buildings. It can be used for parking, service, or open green space. With regard to open space, it is our goal to separate these functions, for a more clear and diagrammatic campus layout. Parking open space should be relegated to the north (vehicular) zone of campus, and green space should be opened up in the south (pedestrian) part of campus. But, having open green space isn't enough to make the best use of this valuable asset to students. Walking paths and outdoor "rooms" should be created with landscaping, to encourage people to use it. Strong focal points, boundaries created with hedges or trees, and benches are all good tools to accomplish this goal. UAa Park ( �}$ F','turure €]eco M QD L7 C Rooms C , T .. Green Space Parking r f r, CROMWELL ARCHITECTS ENGINEERS 66 1 P a g e 3.6 Vehicle Circulation As the primary means for faculty and visitors to access the campus, the vehicle circulation pattern should be simple, clear, and concise. The master plan separates the main drives on campus into a ceremonial drive in the front, a drive along 12"` St. that also acts as an entrance from Chester, and a boundary separating the north vehicle zone, and a looped drive around the parking block that connects to a new entrance to the north on State St. and the frontage road.

The goal of the master plan is to make the Philander Smith campus as walkable as possible, especially in the pedestrian/ student zone on the south part of campus. A balance between vehicular and pedestrian land use provides an improved sense of place by campus visitors. Sidewalks connect all campus use zones and amenities, while connecting to the community through the transition zone to the south. The walking environment should be friendly to the pedestrian, so that those choosing to walk may do so in a secure and pleasant surrounding. Walkways should be buffered from streets by landscaping strips where possible. Elements such as hedges and plantings further emphasize the path and help to create boundaries. All primary building entrances should be reachable by sidewalk, especially where front door parking will not be available. a gEEG aQaE3 it r6 t: Rooms 0 C3 EDO Q� L::3 Q E3 o Q � Q _ Sidewalks �b D cc CROMWELL ARCHITECTS ENGINEERS 68 1 P a g e 3.8 Amenities To remain competitive in attracting and retaining new students and faculty, the quality and quantity of amenities should be improved. The existing housing does not meet the needs of the projected growth of students. The students need a new cafeteria and student union. Office space for faculty is limited, and existing offices are scattered throughout campus buildings instead of centrally located to the building that is served. The Fine Arts Auditorium Building is in poor condition, and needs to be replaced. The campus will continue to grow, and these amenities should be phased to accommodate the new growth. The phasing should address on - campus needs first, such as housing and a student center, and expand south in the transition zone with functions that serve the greater community in the future. 0IIVCaCh —� r_ .d Canfur ., Caro 1 q� � Studons i -Maus q �r CD C2EJd'9� 7 ML� — ,.....

These needs are student housing and a student center/cafeteria. Additional classroom space is added and the stage is set for Phases 2 and 3. Phase 1A • Open an entrance at Chester and an exit at Gaines St. It was determined by the City of Little Rock that the traffic volume around campus does not currently warrant a traffic light. However, if traffic back-up becomes a problem after the entrance has been added, then the city will install the light, if Philander Smith will pay the cost. The current estimated cost for a traffic light is $200,000-$225,000. • Close traffic and remove the street at State and Izard to the East and West of the Cox Admin. Building. • Close the street north of the Residential Life Center. • Establish a new location to be determined, for the Greek walls, to be either temporary or permanent construction. • Demolish the vacant women's dormitory, student union, and Greek courtyard. Keep the cafeteria, student affairs, and sidewalk access open. • Demolish the tennis court next to the Tate Rec. Center to prepare for new building. • Create paths and a focal point across the front green to create access and highlight the Cox Admin.

Cafe Carttar CROMWELL ARCHITECTS ENGINEERS 94 1 P a g e Housing Study Conclusion Current trends in student housing on college campuses are moving toward apartment style housing, as this is more desirable to today's students. This model allows for both privacy for studying and sleeping, with single bedrooms, and opportunity for socializing with suite -mates in a shared living area. The housing option endorsed by the Administration is the small-scale apartment style dormitories, since they may be built according to current and future housing needs in phases, and these smaller buildings could more easily get donations for naming opportunities. These have a slightly greater up -front cost, but the benefits are greater, since the more intimate setting of a smaller dormitory will allow for greater student interaction and more contact with Resident Assistants.
