FRIENDSHIP WAS THE THEME OF THE 12TH ANNUAL POW WOW of ! the Grand Valley American Indian Lodge that took pl.ace Sept. 15 on the ·tree-ehaded lmolle of Townsend Park. Months ot planning by dedicated lodge membere turned this year'e into a truly memorable pow wow. Since the :founding o:f the lodge in 1960 each anniversary ie celebrated by the pow wow. This year the GREAT LAKES INDIAN YOUTH ALLIANCE DRUM - an all-Indian drum - lead by Jcml BUSH of Shelbyville, provided authentic American Indian music for the afternoon·and evening dances. Dancers in colort'ul tribal dress and from all over Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Canada were lead by Lead Man Dancer GEO:OOE JIARI'IN and Lia4 !adj Dande CINDY PETERS. Ov'er 200 members of the ottawa, Chippewa, Menomini, Winne1)a.go, Potawatomi, and Sioux tribes attended. ~ p Over thirty peopl.e contributed in one way or another ·t,o the success of this year•s pow wow. It was a tired but satisfied crew that finally wound things up after midnight. Well., pretty satisfied. Next year, things could run smoother ••••• and it could have been bigger ••••• The af'ternoon'e festivities began about 3 o'clock with the moving Flag Dance, :followed by the introduction of guest speakers by Lodge Chief SIMON FRANCIS JR. The Director ot Owl Indian Outreach, LARRY SHANANAQUE:r, talked about their program :for combat.ting alcoholism among Indian people. KAY CAMPOS, Indian Commissioner tor the Grand Rapids area! spoke on her duties and obligations as a member o:f 1.be Lti.chigan Commission on Indian Allaire. AND In the eveing MARY PINE SDIONAIT spoke on her work ae American Indian student counselor and recruiter :for Davenport College end Grand Valley State Colleges. Thie vital woman, incidentally, bas been responsible 'for most of the Indian awareness programs in the Grand Rapids area in the pa.st year. Over 1500 spectators gatbered to watch the dances and visited the many traders in genuine American Indian-made goods. Among the stands could be found Michigan Indian-made baskets and beadwork, Sioux-cra-rted moccasins, Navaho silver and t,urquoise jewelry, and ot.\awa-style corn soup and fry bread. A book-stall did a brisk business in books, maga•inea and pamphlets devoted entirely to Native Americans. Pow Wow Kitchen served a hot supper to a chilled and hungry crowd of 275. Turkey, cranberry sauce, ma.shed potatoes and V&VY', corn, garden-:f'resh relishes, try bread and Indian pud,Q.ing were dished up :from wooden bowls, crockery and enamel,m;re and black iron skillets on red and :white check-cov~H LOOKING FARl'HER BACK •• ,. I THE AMERICAN INDIAN ALCOHOLISM CONFERENCE held at the Pant.lind Hotel, Grand Rapids, on September 7 was hosted by the OWl Indian Out.reach. It drew resource people - Indian and noll"Pindian - from all over the state. An excellent :film, "Bitter Wind"was shown by Terry Smith, Alcoholism F.ducator of the Kenty County Health Department. Participating in the afternoon sessions were Robert Rowe, Alcohol Therapist, Brigadier Rollin G. Clark, , Pirector of Men's Social Service, and Thomas Van Buren, Alcohol Counselor, - all from the Salvation Army. Aleo t.aking part were Rev. Herman Tietsma, Director of Jellema House, and Mrs. Louise Thorpe, Resident Director of Our HOpe House - both halfway houses for recovering alcoholics. Among others participating were Bill :Marks, Counselor at Vocational Rehabilitation, and Jim Glaser, alcohol counselor at the Guiding Light Mission. Then CHIEF LI'ffi.E ELK, IKE PELGHSB, and Mrs. lllGGIE JACKSON t'rom the Isabella Reservation at 1ft. Pleasant gave an exhibition of dances and customs based on Chippewa legend and culture. From a menu of foods developed by Native Americans the The sterling-silver ard turquoise squash blossom necklace was won by MARK SCHOFIELD. The lodge also sponsored a giveaway t.hie year. An exquisitely crafted quill box was presented t.o each of the six women who worked at the lodge's booth at the Grand Bapids Festival 73 last June. J. · In discussing the effects of alcoholism on families, Sister Bri~id and Fred DuGay of Catholic Social Services brought out several :facts. When sobriet.y et.ope, they said, neglect and abuse begins. Another fact, 'for every 100 children cared :for by Catholic Social Services, ten are Indian. Yet, population figures show that for every 100 Kent County r~sidente there is one Indian. Fact #3, The main reason that these Indian children · are being cared for by Catholic Social Services is alcoholism. A fourth tact, 1.bere are no Indian foster homes listed with taem. This is awful, they feel, eince more Indian children come· to them 1.ban to any other agency in Kent County. Indian leaders in the alcohol problem came :from all over Mich,igan. Harry Command, Director of American Indian Services, Inc., an all-Indian organization in Detroit, etated 'flatly that alcoholism ie the Indians' "number one problem." He said, �"The Indian becor.es alcoholic because he is not agreesive enough, not competitive enough, and he uses alcohol as a protest." l!.r. George Bennett, Director of the Michigan Commi~sion on Indian Affairs, said that good communications are eseential "so that successful programs can be spread to every group needing them throughout the state." Si otto of Petoskey had just returned from training in alcoholiem and drug abuse problems at the University of Utah. He and Louise Cain, members of C.A.R,I. (Community Action for Rural IndiaIU!I), based in Petoskey, spoke of the need for a half'way house in t.hat area. Doris Adams, also from C.A.R.I. and a couneelor wit.h the Michigan liinployment Security Commission in Petoskey, stated t.hat "the biggest problem keeping Indians f'rom jobe is alcoholism". Clarence Gasko is a Regional Field Instructor in the u. Of Utah's trainj.r.ig program for Indian alcoholism. He advised everyone to "stay away frODJ concerned people - and there's alot of them in the Indian community! Its COMMITTED people that count!" Everyone agreed that there is money available for Indian alcoholism programs, and that there are lots of pz1ograme - 102, in fact.such as the 10-month-long course in alcohol therapist training offered in Detroit. Local Indian people participe.ting in the evening session were Barney and Ann Halfaday, Larry am Carol Sbananaquet, Kat.by She.gonaby, J:rs. Gloria Shenoeky, Henry and Louise Medawie, and Mr. Hank Shaw. They form the backbone of the thriving Owl Indian Outreach. Nearly everyone at the cont'erence had had a drinking problem affect t.hem in some way in their life. Perhaps it was a parent, a child, a f'riend, or even a neighbor who had had the problem. For many of the participants it had at one time been thei own personal hell. But, as one eaid, "the Indian can sober up. I know, I did it. Its tough, but it can be done."

THE BROADBOTTOM POW WOW by Beatrice Bailey Fascinated by the name "Broadbottom11 on the pow wow flyer, and by the idea of going to Kentucky, a state new on the pow wow trail, I decided on the spur of the moment to go. After a quick phone oall I had two companions for the trip, Marcelene Bush of Bradley, Michigan, and her daughter, Sydney Martin of Hopkins. Like my husband Churck, Frank Bush and George :Uartin had to work that weekend too. Leaving my home in Grandville, .M ichigan, early Friday morning of September 7, I had picked up Marcelene and Syd and we were on our way by io a.m., pulling my camping trailer. We arrived in Broadbott.om at 10 that night. It was an unf'orgettable trip, and the scariest I've ever made! mammoth curve on the side of the mountain ·and spotted a huge sign strung across the road by a cable. It read, "INDIAN POW WOW - STOP HEREl" Below it several teen-age boys stood beside the road. They were, they said, the guides into Broadbottom. I could hardly imagine vlhy this was necessary, but I let one young man into the car. Following hie directions, ·! turned off the highway onto an even narrower road that led to the bridges. There were two ways across the steep chasm directly ahead. You could take either the swinging foot-bridge or the swinging car brijge. The first was merely a miniature version of the second. Cables from one mountain to the other mountain supported the f'loor of' wooden planks barely wide enough for one car. There were no railings. I inched the car onto the bridge. It began to sway. "You have got to be kidding!" I gasped to our guide. ''Y'all know, that's what the person said what was in the last car that I guided over," drawled the young man. Even before we got out of Allegan County a tire went bad. Hobbling .into Plainwell to buy a new one, I began to have some misgivings about going on. But there in the station hung a huge sign depicting a tJmnderbird. The station's radio was playing, of all things, the "Ballad of Ira Hayes. 11 Feeling that these were good signs, we pressed on to Kentucky. Scared silly, but convinced it was too late to turn back, I let the car crawl onto the bridge. The trailer followed, tires hugging the planks. Syd shut her eyes. Marcelene peered out over the bridge cautiously. Her head snapped back inside. Due to our ignorance of the by.pass around it, we wasted a whole hour of precious driving time going t.hroug'h the city of Columbus, Ohio. We must have hit the red signal ofeveryone of its 235 traffic light.al Believe me, f t took the by-pass coming back. We were faint with relief when we reached the other side. Seeing two rows of' houses, I assumed we were in·Broadbottom. But our guide cheerfully inf'ormed us we were now in Housey Bottom. We drove on, up the extremely narrow road, up over another mountain with the car in low gear and our hearts pounding. At one sharp cur'll'e Marcelene looked out and down the mountainside that fell sharply away from the edge of the road. It was dark when we began to approach the Cumberland Mountains in eastern Kentucky. The roads became progressively more narrow with frequent and terrorizing detours. SUddenly, a Greyhound bus loOfl!ed ahead taking up three quarters of the road. We squeezed to the right, onto the shoulder, until it passed. Then, out of the darkness, a truck skidded and missed us by a hair! Now the mountains were looming ominously over us. The road became a writhing mass of cur'll'es, to the right, then left, now up, then suddenly down. The miles begantto tick off slowly. We looked for ~oad sigru,, but to no avail. The towns and cross roads simply are not marked, as they are in Michig__an. We knew we must be get~ing close. We stopped to inquire. -rat.er, we learned we were within 30 miles of Broadbottom, yet everyone we asked had never heard of it! The f'lyer stated that Broadbottom was 2:7 miles south of Prestonburg and 9 miles .n orth of' Pikesville, and so when we reached Prestonburg we started counting the miles on the car's speedometer. Finally, we rounded a "There's a river at the bottoml" she whispered hoarsely. "Car bodies down there!'' she gasped. "No one even tries to get them out," doom-laden voice. suggested Syd in a But on coming down the other side of the mountain, we found ourselves at long last at the pow wow grounds at Broadbottom, Ky. And What a contingent of Michigan Indians greeted usl The Appletone of Detroit with many singers and dancers oft.he Detroit Drum, were there, as were the Ed Henrys from Flint. The Shalifoes had arrived from Muskegon! The Kings from DeWitt, and Chief Little Elk · (Eli Thomas), Lou s Pontiac, Marie Emery, Maggie Jackson, and Allee Bennett had made it from the Isabella Reservation at Mount. · Pleasant. After quick 'hellos' we set up camp and threw ourselves into bed. �Stepping out of the camper the next morning I felt like :Jorothy when she arrived in the Land of Oz. The beauty and solitude of that place can hardly be described. We were in a lush green valley about 4 miles long and 1½ miles wide. It wa.a completely surrounded by mountains, very high and very green except for one, which had a huge bare stone cliff' t'acing the valley. For such a di:f:ficult. place to reach, the number of spectators was · unbelievable. . They came by the hundreds f'rom all the surrounding towns, hollows, and hille. None had ever seen an Indian pow wow before, and :few had ever seen an Indian! The enthusiasm o:f these people was overwhelming. Af'ter each dan: e they clapped and hollered and cheered. We learned t.hat most were pretty poor. They would have liked to have boughten the tradere' goods, but few had extra money af'ter paying t.heir way into the pow wow. And it was heartening to me that not one trader complained about the lack of salee. Everyone felt rewarded by the welcome, interest and enthusiasm poured out by these wonderful people. But. we didn't come home empty-handeda Marcelene Bush (Potawatomi) took First Place in the Ladies' Dance Contest. In tact, all the winners were ladies f'rom Michigan. Bernice Appleton (Oneida) of Detroit took Second Place, and Vickie King (ottawa) of DeWitt came in Third. Threatening skies cut t.he pow wow short Sunday afternoon. -, 5 o'clock we had etart.ed the long trek back to Michigan. I arrived home at 6 o'clock Monday morning. Swinging bridges and all, it is my dearest wish to return to the Broadbottom pow wow next year. But Chuck will have to do the driving! .ON THE .

''I -... \_,._;--i Q ,' \ t) ___.-, 0 o· 1961 plan 5 ��Natural characteristics of the site Among the primary reasons for selecting the site were its unique land structure and its groves of mature hardwood trees. The 876-acre site is divided broadly into two kinds of land: (i) deep wooded ravines penetrating into the site through a high bluff overlooking the Grand River, and (ii) gently rolling, open farmlands studded here and there with trees. Along the bluff the land is separated into three enclosed, level plateaus by the ravines. These areas comprise approximately one-fifth of the total campus. The drama of the site unfolds as one approaches the ravine edges and experiences the sharp contrast between the level, open plateaus and the adjoining steep, wooded slopes. The configuration and location of the ravines necessitates linking them with bridges in order to integrate developable areas into one pedestrian campus. At the same time, this configuration provides for a remarkable degree of intimacy and supports the decentralized educational concept of the college. The wooded ravines are the most prominent natural elements of the site. Most of the trees in these areas are native hardwoods, such as red oak, white oak, hickory, sugar maple, red maple, American beech, ash, ironwood and wild cherry. Some elms, poplars, willows and sycamores occur where drainage is poor. A mature root system of grasses, shrubs and trees stabilizes and holds the steep ravine slopes. Special care must be taken to protect and maintain this cover in order to preserve the ravines' natural character. Intensive-use areas forced into the ravines could cause a physical change which could destroy the natural beauty. Limited use should be encouraged, however, by allowing foot paths to meander through these areas to the river's edge. A flood plain lies along the river's edge and extends a short distance into the ravines. About one-fifth of the total campus is consumed by either flood plain or ravines and can only be developed for limited recreational uses. 16 �''i:N>' \, ',., ��Approximately three-fifths of the campus consists of open, rolling fields leading up tq the enclosed plateaus and ravines. Development of the campus can and should honor the relationship between these areas and the adjoining enclosed plateaus. Access to the campus is good from all directions. The site is bounded on the north by highway M-45, which connects directly to major arteries in Grand Rapids and to highway U.S. 31 to the west. On the west, the campus is bounded by Forty-Eighth Avenue, a paved road connecting directly to highway M-21 to the south. A left turn into the campus from highway M-45, at Forty-Second Avenue, is very hazardous because of alignment, topography and the narrow twolane highway. Furthermore, Forty-Second Avenue, which originally entered from this direction, separated the site and was not sensitive to the configuration of usable land areas. For these reasons, the road has been abandoned except for temporary access for construction purposes. A major ravine system entering the campus from the north defines a natural entrance foyer from highway M-45. This occurs at a location where the vertical alignment of the highway is the most conducive to a safe turn-off. The surface drainage characteristics of the site divide it into two almost equal areas on a north-south axis with the west half draining toward the northwest and the east half draining into the ravine system. Most of the site is heavy clay soil having poor permeability characteristics. Care will have to be taken to provide positive surface drainage in developed areas. 19 �w!lel'vdP tea/er one.ds -d, ran-'te ePje /V1H'hes. Responsiveness to natural characteristics of the site The physical development plan of the Grand Valley State College campus derives its unique character from the dominant natural qualities of the site that divide it into segments of land adaptable to decentralization. All major elements of the plan, the building design and placement, vehicular and pedestrian circulation, parking, pedestrian bridges, open space and utilities were carefully studied and designed to honor these natural characteristics. Aesthetic qualities Accepting the premise that aesthetics are an essential consideration in a desirable educational environment, each physical development problem is measured in terms of aesthetics as well as function. Specifically, Grand Valley State College'e aesthetic image rises out of the natural characteristics of the ravines and their configuration which define areas ideally suited to clusters of small buildings. The result has been a soft, natural, humanly scaled campus without ponderous, over-whelming buildings, resulting in a friendly educational environment. 22 �- ill IWllllllll Ill • [TI] -* Ii'av1ne Caml'us Concepf ikui, t �Planting Throughout the analysis and planting stages, the natural rural environment influenced the physical development. Planting added to the campus should also recognize these environmental qualities. The campus greeen merges with the soft rolling contours of the countryside. Planting is not intended to decorate the architecture but rather to blend the building into the environment. The most important element of the planting concept is the shade trees which drift out of the ravines and provide a canopy for the plateaus. Where possible, indigenous species such as red oak and ironwood should be used to relate to the existing landscape. Buildings located next to the steep slopes of the ravines are landscaped with restraint so that the natural qualities will dominate the visual image. Extreme care is taken to retain the vegetation of the slopes to protect against erosion damage. 30 �/ ��The walkways follow either the ravine edges or the rolling terrain of the plateaus. Their first function is to provide a smooth flowing walkway pattern from origin to destination points. They should, however, be sufficiently wide and of proper construction to accommodate service vehicles and also to allow for increased use as the campus grows. Bituminous materials used in constructing these walks blend effectively with the landscape. Pedestrian bridges unify the campus and provide the dramatic experience ofliterallywalking through the tops of huge mature hardwood trees growing in the ravines. The bridges are unobtrusive and o not detract from the natural character of the ravines. 35 �Conservation of land Leaving the ravines in their natural state resulted in minimal maintenance of a large part of the campus, but efficient land utilization of the plateaus between the ravines is necessary in order to accommodate the college program. Therefore, buildings on the plateaus should continue to be placed relatively close to each other to enclose spaces of a character and scale that provides an interesting contrast to the open ravines. Minimal disruption from new construction Among the many factors affecting building location is the need to minimize construction interference with the operating college program. Whenever and wherever possible, construction access will be located where it will not cross major vehicular drives and pedestrian walkways. For example, FortySecond Avenue has remained open for construction vehicles only throughout the construction stages of the first several buildings. This factor cannot always be honored. Early building locations were influenced by the proximity of major utility lines, leaving future building areas on the interior of the campus isolated from convenient construction access. However, construction access to the tips of the plateaus will remain open for future building. 39 �Following is a description of the plan concept of the Ravine Campus in more specific physical design terms. The description is broken down into four zones of sub-campus areas. The building functions indicated in each area are indicated in broad terms since precise program and organization possibilities have not been entirely determined. The essential principle to keep in mind is that the plan description in the next pages expresses the essentials of a site planning concept. It is the recommended framework within which future building projects can be conceived in accordance with current program requirements. 42 ��ZONE I Sq. Ft.

On the east edge of the second campus would be an area set aside for' uses common and convenient to both campuses. Pedestrian in concept the second campus can be more compact than the Ravine Campus with continuous building groupings enclosing architectural spaces enriched with materials related to the scale and interest of its users. The site, having no major natural barriers or limitations, such as the wooded ravines, can be manipulated and molded to almost any foreseeable program demands. Parking is accessible from perimeter drives outside the walking circle with major entrance drives serving all quadrants of the site. Primary housing zones are adjacent to the west edge of the campus, relating to the community which is anticipated in the future, west of 48th Street. Convenient and contiguous to both the Ravine Campus and Westerly Campus is a large zone where facilities related and utilized by each can be located. The uses can also appropriately relate to the community, where parking is convenient and there is little interruption to the interior zones of each campus. Large open space zones occur on the entire north edge of the site abutting M-45, providing athletic fields for the physical education program. The large open space on the south edge will serve future recreational needs of the intramural program. Located on the prime edges, the generous open spaces can also serve to buffer the campus from an undeterminable land use edge, as well as provide an effective green foreground for the college buildings. Flanking the Ravine Campus on the north and south are land areas folded into the topography of the wooded ravines. These areas, because of their unusual natural beauty and remoteness from the developed campus, should be set aside as land reserves for very special but appropriate use. Future Development Guidelines for the Westerly Campus As the program and physical plan of the Ravine Campus is implemented in terms of stated development capacities, authorization should be given to study the Westerly Campus development potentials in detail. It is extremely important that the study begin at least three years prior to actual project implementation so that program and site development criteria can be delineated with some degree of validity recognizing the development principles of the Ravine Campus. �........ ,1 I II l I j II I I J I\)I \J C) I ==ll - • l:,. ~ I::) v~·---,----~r M General Land 1/oe �credits design of brochure: photography: inc/Ann Arbor, Michigan Korab/Birmingham, Michigan Hedrich-Blessing !Chicago, Illinois typesetting: Fillinger Typesetting/Ann Arbor, Michigan printing: Braun-Brumfield, Inc/Ann Arbor, Michigan Johnson, Johnson & Roy, Baltazar acknowledgements we wish to express our sincere appreciation to the architects, Meathe, Kessler and Associates, Inc., for their cooperation and contribution to the contents of this planning study. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

STUDY PURPOSE This guide to the future development of facilities at Grand Valley State College takes into account the following major considerations: 1. Relationship of the campus site to existing and future roads and to present and potential land uses in the nearby area. 2. Natural characteristics of the site. 3. Type and scope of each different use to which the college may be required to put the site in order to fulfill its total projected needs. 4. Need of entrances into the campus and vehicular circulation and parking, a long with pedestrian wa Iks, with in the campus. 5. Desire to have the physical environment serve effectively the programs and objectives of the college. 6. Required development of the campus by stages to meet annual increases in enrollment. The primary objective of the Study is to project a unified and aesthetic organization of the campus which meets projected needs and which allows for modifications as circumstances change and as the academic program of the college develops. 2 �II. ASSUMPTION Grand Valley State College will be a baccalaureate degree granting institution offering a liberal arts curriculum. A substantial part of the students will be graduates of the high schools and community colleges within an eight-county area at the center of which the college is located. Student enrollment will be limited in order to permit adequate planning and the orderly development of campus facilities, starting with a class of 250 - 400 Freshman students and gradually expanding as new classes enter. The rural location of the campus will require .that the college provide special student services. Commuting students should be encouraged to remain on campus for most of a college day and to participate in as much of the total program as possible. The college wi II develop in phases. Phase one would cover a period of approximately 5 years with enrollment reaching 2,500 - 3,000 students. Phase two would cover another period of 5 years during which time the enrollment is anticipated to reach 7,500 - 10,000 students. A major contribution to the total system will be television and other technological advances in order to raise the quality and impact of instruction but not as a way to minimize the role of the faculty members. Study conditions and facilities will be devised to encourage the students' self-reliance and avoid over-dependency on formal instruction. 3 �Ill. REGIONAL CONSIDERATIONS The Grand Valley State College site of 770 acres is located fourteen miles west of Grand Rapids along the south side of M-50 bordering the west edge of the Grand River. The site is near the geographic center of a triangular area. This triangular area is formed with Muskegon on the northwest, Holland on the southwest and Grand Rapids on the east (fig. 1). The sides of the triangle are formed by major vehicular arterials which provide relatively easy access to the site. The area is bisected by M-50 providing direct access from west Grand Rapids. Existing urban development patterns (fig. l) indicate that future development trends of the major urban areas follow along the major traffic approach to the college (fig. 2). As a result, urban growth is inward toward the center of the triangle. The college wil I generate community growth within the local environment of the site. Allendale, located within this environment, may serve the role of a service community for the college. However, presently Allendale does not have adequate service and public school facilities for college use. The rapid growth of the southwest area of Grand Rapids indicates that existing Fillmore-Cottonwood Drive may be a significant approach route as the college develops. The movement of this drive along the Grand River Valley may provide a unique symbolic approach to the college. For serving commuter students the college is in an ideal location because of the large number of residents living within a 30-minute drive to the college site (fig. 3). 4 �z: ® <: ~ GttANO ~,,i,s :x: u ~ Ho&.1.,ANP UJ Fl e,. 1 5 �::r 0 : .· -~dL.&.ANP Ul .' ·. :.:/ _,,,... / ~&GIONAL POPUL..AflON + ~ 0 I MILfS ::t ::, ~its"'4 ~-) ~ ~ ~ ~ t s . r Ii:- E.

SITE ANALYSIS The 770-acre site of the campus of Grand Valley State College possesses a major land structure created by its natural land qualities (fig. 4). The site is divided into two broad categories of land character separated east and west by Forty Second Avenue (fig. 5). West of Forty Second Avenue is approximately 380 acres of gently rolling, open farm land with occasional groupings of trees. The edges of this part of the site blends into the rural country side of similar character. East of Forty Second Avenue are the most dominant and distinctive features of the site: deep wooded ravines (fig. 6) which penetrate westward into the site from the high bluff overlooking the Grand River. The ravine system forms units of land 20 to 40 acres which have the appearance of open level plateaus enclosed by trees. The drama of the ravines does not unfold unti I one reaches their edges. From these edges the dramatic contrast between the level open plateaus and the steep densely wooded slopes can be experienced. The land at the base of the ravines on the river 1s edge is a flood plain. A major ravine system north of M-50 enters the site near the intersection of Forty Second Avenue and M-50 and provides a natural entrance foyer. Linking the two ravine systems together with trees or some other device would add to the major site structure. Access to the site is good from all directions. M-50, a two-lane highway in good condition, is the major approach from Grand Rapids. Turning left, south into the site, from M-50 is very hazardous. The mdjor north and south approach route, Forty Eighth Avenue, is a county road paved with aspha It and in good condition. Forty Second Avenue, a county gravel road, separates the site, and its alignment is not sensitive to the adjacent land qualities. After several reconnaissance field trips and 11 1iving with 11 the site for one full week the site planner and architect were strongly convinced that the development of the site and architecture must recognize the strength of the ravine system, its organizing framework, and its dramatic beauty. 11 �V. ORGANIZATION OF CAMPUS FACILITIES Distinction is made between functions of the campus which can appropriately be filled by decentralized units, each serving a limited number of students, and functions which requir.e centralization in single units for serving the students at large. In the first category are the teaching of all subjects which do not require specialized facilities. Also included are office services for faculty and independent study by students. These functions are planned at the outset to be provided by a series of similar multi-purpose buildings, called learning centers, each with a capacity for about 500 students. In each such building students of one group will receive most of their instruction and do most of their studying, and similar buildings will serve students of other groups, each no more than 500 in number, for the greater part of their academic needs. Assignments to a particular building will be made according to the academic interests of the students involved, and they wi 11 have the advantage of working within a sma 11 sub-college in close relation to the faculty members concerned with their instruction. Related to several of these multi-purpose buildings will be a separate collegiate center which will provide a common eating and social area for the students who have been assigned for their academic work to the nearby learning centers. Limiting the capacity of each learning center and of each collegiate center allows for moderate-sized buildings and an efficient stage-by-stage expansion of the campus, and reducing the need for massive and rapid movement of students between buildings permits scattering of the buildings in this category throughout the scenic plateaus on the site. In the other category which calls for large central buildings are specialized needs for science laboratories work, certain library services, campus-wide audio-visual services, physical education, work in music and the visual and dramatic arts, indoor athletics, group cultural events, and certain administrative services. Special-purpose buildings to fill these functions are to be constructed in places where they will be fairly accessible from al I the learning centers contemplated by the origina I 10-year program and also from other academic buildings which may come through future expansion of the campus facilities. 12 �VI. GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN The organization of campus facilities was adapted to the Grand Valley State College site in establishing this General Development Plan. (fig. 7) There are 10 major design policies which give strength to this Plan: 1. Main Campus Drive-A major vehicular boulevard encircles the ravines. Since major utility lines and major movement will follow this drive it forms the 11 backbone 11 of the major campus pattern. 2. Parking-Spaces are provided at the tips of the ravines from whence pedestrian movement will occur along the ravine edges. Large storage lots are located on the west side (outside) of the Campus Drive with smaller convenience lots for staff personnel on the inside of the drive. It is possible to achieve a maximum 12-minute walking distance from parking to any Learning Center through an assigned parking system. 3. Learning Centers-Three of these buildings are grouped around each proposed Collegiate Center to form ideally scaled groupings located in naturally defined spaces formed by the ravines. 4. Central Academic and Administrative Area-This is located at the head of the center ravine, which has the longest westward penetration into the site. Here is room for expansion into the large open areas to the west within the limits of walking distance (maximum 8 minutes) to each of the Learning Center groupings. 5. Vehicular Approaches and Circulation-The dominant approach to the campus is directly from the west toward the center of the campus where a visual organization of the campus can be seen. Two other approaches are suggested, one from M-50 on the north and Forty Second Avenue on the south. These three entries honor all the major approach routes to the campus. The majority of vehicular movement will be on the main Campus Drive from which large parking lots are easily accessible. 13 �6. Campus Assembly Areas-Both the Field House and the Auditorium are located on the periphery of the campus drive where ample parking and ease of vehicular access are available. The Field House is adjacent to proposed athletic fields providing a greenbelt between the proposed campus and future expansion. 7. Pedestrian Circulation-Major pedestrian movement wi II be along the edges of the ravine from large storage parking lots on the periphery of the campus. Automobiles wil I not be allowed to penetrate the academic areas except for special occasions. On these special occasions an automobile will move along the main campus walk from where the visitor can view the heart of the learning environment. Service vehicles will be allowed access from .this walk during scheduled hours. 8. Outer Campus Drive-This additional major drive, projected for the future, will allow a logical expansion pattern which recognizes the campus plan as well as the edges of the site. 9. Service and Maintenance Center-This utility building is logically located on the edge of M-50 for ease of accessibility without using the Campus Drive. 10. Connecting Links-Bridging the ravines allows campus unification and a more direct access to the central area from the Learning and Collegiate Center groupings. 14 �-ro ST A :-:=•:❖·····=•:❖•..:;:•::·····=•:•:•:•:::·•• ,•.

DEVELOPMENT - FIVE YEAR PROGRAM The area for the early development of the campus was chosen because of its adaptability for application of as many of the master plan design policies as possible. The ravines which serve a very important role in most of the design policies play a major part in the five-year program plan (fig. 8). The major elements of the plan are: A. Learning Center-Three Learning Centers are clustered around a Collegiate Center. The buildings fol low the ravine edges. B. Collegiate Center-Two such buildings are located on the edge of a ravine and separated from nearby Learning Centers by the Main Campus Walk and low wall. C. Library-This building is separated from the Learning Center groupings by the open ravine which would be treated in an unusual and distinctive manner. It relates to both the Central Buildings and the interior "Learning Environment. 11 D. Science Laboratory-This building (in two parts) is large in scale and is grouped with other Centro I Academic Bui ldlngs. E. Campus Drive-Its installation wi 11 set a major direction of growth into the areas of the ravines. This is the most important element of the General Development Plan. F. Parking-Visitors, faculty and student storage lots can be installed during this stage of development to test the parking concept and pedestrian movement from lots. G. Main Campus Walk-This feature controls the major pedestrian pattern of circulation moving from parking areas along ravine edges to buildings, and the walk is wide enough to allow service access to buildings. H. Landscape Development-The only addition of refined planting to the site in the plateaus will be between the wall and Main Campus Walk. Student sitting areas, along lighted garden paths, will feature the landscape. The trees along the ravine edges will be carefully thinned out to dramatize significant views. Paths along the slopes of the ravines should be allowed to develop through use by students and faculty. 17 �VIII. BUILDINGS AND SITE RELATIONSHIPS Learning Centers-(Fig. 9) The disciplined function of the interior of each such building is reflected in the geometric shape and classic design of its facades. These buildings relate to the level plateaus, where these features are displayed and dramatized, and where a pattern of direct circulation occurs. Collegiate Center-The less rigid function of this interior is reflected in the informal shape and organization of the building. The building is separated from the more formal Learning Centers by a change in level. The building carefully penetrates the edges of the ravines where it steps down into multi-level outdoor terraces where a sensitive relationship to the deep wood ravines is experienced. Landscape Treatment-The Learning Centers and Collegiate Centers are tied together with a curvilinear pedestrian walk. Parallel to this walk is a wall which separates the levels of the Learning Centers and Collegiate Centers. Adjacent to this wall will be a refined landscape treatment, breaking the composite space into component spaces of human scale with the enrichment of detail. 18 �LEARNING CENTER COLLEGIATE CENTER IT5 GeOMeTRIC !SHAPE ANP 01:SCIPL..INeD FUNCTION 12EL..,ATl:S TO 1-ElVSI- PI..ATcAU L.ES5 F<'l61D Af<Cl-lTE'CTURAI..L-Y Tl-lAN l..,C. tT TIE$ VE:RY '5EN'51TIVEt.Y TOTHS l<AVfNE PEDESTRIAN 5RID6E .JOINS PI...ATEALJS F.ACll.. liATINu UNIFICATION OF St.10,·COI..L.f:6£:~ CAReFOLL"f Pt.ANNW) I..INE:AL 6ARDE:N e,t';:TWEE\N WALL.

UTILITIES AND SERVICES The major service and maintenance facility is located adjacent to State route, M-50, an arterial serving the Grand Rapids area, the major source of service and supplies for the college. Ingress and egress in this area is direct with no dependence on the campus circulation system. All major transport and maintenance vehicles can be handled in this area with little difficulty. The area serves as a disposition depot for the distribution of supplies and maintenance service to the campus area in smaller service vehicles, (fig. 10). Major utility lines will penetrate the site from M-50, with the main lines moving along the Campus Boulevard, and Branch lines bisecting the plateaus between the ravines. 21 �X. STAGE ONE The first stage of the building program requires three academic buildings and a collegiate center (fig. 11). Two of the first three academic buildings are finished prototypes of others which may be built in the future. The third building has the same basic design and will eventually serve the same function, but for the moment it houses the Administrative Offices, Science Laboratories and other campus services. These will be housed in other special-purpose buildings, as soon as they can be developed. The design of the academic buildings represents a bold, new approach for achieving both beauty and efficiency in a college campus. Each building serves at least 500 students and 24 faculty members for all or most of their academic needs. The Collegiate Center serves as a social center for both faculty and students. The glass-walled student and faculty lounge juts out into the wooded ravine where one can view its dramatic environment of nature. The informal organization of the building centers around a mammoth fireplace. Below the main floor are additional rooms serving as a book store, game rooms and student activity rooms. Along the bank of the ravine are multi-leveled decks which are joined to the building and to one another by steps. A wing for a student dining room will be added to the original structure. Part of the Main Campus Boulevard will be installed for access to a 320-car parking lot north of the drive, which is near the building grouping. The campus walk and landscape treatment wi II adhere to the major design policies previously stated. The location of the first stage was chosen because of its accessibility to existing roads and the strong relationship which it provides to the ravines in the early development stages. Its development also occurs in a unit of land that allows for a logical, economically feasible expansion program. 22 �.. .. --~ y~ • - _.,,,. • .J _,r.:-·."';'::-t 23 ��. .. : . ,.:\8 o. o ~~Oo oo,;' • "&:-o:• • • . ... o COLLEGIATE CENTER · oa~ �__L c.-,.;,,,; ' • "---;- -• ' , ', ', l/ a:: UJ > a:: /' / r--~ , '~-, : -------, f 'J ! r-' j( 0 /Y z :'R..

CONCLUSION Throughout our planning process, in consultation with the college staff, we discovered many possibilities of new and exciting concepts of instruction which affect the total college program. Progressive innovations in teaching devices and encouragement by college administrators to create learning environments conducive to the students' self-reliance were factors in the planning. Because of the need to allow for future changes and innovations in the college program we stress the importance of broad framework which has evolved from the qualities of the site rather than a campus pattern based on starting with a detailed college program that may be obsolete in the next decade. If we honor the rationale of the major design policies which formulated the framework, we then can proceed with a positive, objective program of development which allo Hs for changing needs within the framework. We would suggest and encourage continuing reappraisal o.~ the proposed General Development Plan relative to a progressively expanding college program. 27 �ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Wehrer & Borkin educational consultants Architects Wi 11 iams & Works utility consultants Engineers Robert B.
