SOCIO-HYDROLOGY

A frame for an integrated green infrastructure campus master plan

practices are compounded by an ever growing student body population and climate change. The following 15-acre
master plan proposal introduces integrated green infrastructure (GI) practices to better utilize water as a resource on
the University of Arizona campus while providing a dynamic space for cross-disciplinary collaboration while engaging
a broader community.

Sod to GI Social Space (Pi]

Spaces outside buildings that are currently underutilized will be
retrofitted with GI strategies that increase shade while creating social
spaces for students, faculty and visitors.

Bioswale network connects

overflow

Curb cuts alleviate flooding on
street and provide supplemental
irrigation

Native plantings reduce urban heat
island effect while intercepting rain

Perforated bridge allows water
to pass through and under into
basins

GI Corridor and Research Stations [P2]

A new, shady pedestrian thoroughfare mitigates
congested circulation on 2nd Street while offering
chances to experience and study GI

The University of Arizona is located in the Sonoran Desert, one of the wettest deserts in the world which receives
the majority of its 12 inches of annual rainfall in two short periods. The 2nd Street corridor is a major vehicular and
pedestrian thoroughfare running along the historic northern border of the University of Arizona. The 2nd Street
DESIGN PERFORMANCE AND IMPACT	corridor is the downstream confluence of 18 sub-basins within one of the 5 major watersheds on the University of

Arizona campus. Runoff from contributing sub-basins leads to over 4.3 acre-feet of water running across the site. This
creates dangerous conditions for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers. Issues stemming from poor stormwater management
