Concept:
Evans Hall is replaced with a pair of new pavilions linked below grade, restoring the view from the Mining Circle to Memorial Glade and the Bay. A new oval green is created at the base of the pavilions, on axis with the Campanile, completing the east end of Memorial Glade. |

The purpose of the New Century Plan is to ensure capital investment is optimized in terms of its benefit to the campus as a whole. Each investment should be planned to create a positive synergy of buildings and landscape, and enhance the experience of campus life.
The New Century Plan is organized around a set of Strategic Goals. Each deals with an aspect of the capital investment strategy, and is supported by Policies and Initiatives, which outline the specific actions the university should take to implement the Goals.
Policies are measures the campus shall take to guide and shape - and in some instances limit or prohibit - new capital investment, to ensure resources are used wisely, and the quality and amenity of the campus environment is enhanced by each project.
Initiatives are more proactive. Whereas the Policies enable the campus to guide and shape new projects, the Initiatives describe actions that serve the interest of the campus as a whole.

Campus Vision 
While topography and landscape are the primary formgivers of the campus, buildings play a key role in framing and imparting character to campus open spaces. On our compact urban campus, where space is at a premium, each new capital investment must be designed to maximize its contribution to intellectual community by creating dynamic, interactive places.
The Campus Vision illustrated in figure 0.2 depicts one way in which the Policies, Initiatives and Guidelines might be realized on the Berkeley campus. More detailed views of this illustrative plan, with notes on the individual projects, are presented in the Project Portfolio.
Projects illustrated in the Vision and Portfolio are conceptual. New buildings are represented as prototypes, based on modular dimensions adaptable to a range of university functions. However, the buildings are configured to respect and enhance spatial and architectural relationships, and are meant to inform the design of future projects by depicting concepts consistent with the Strategic Goals.
The Portfolio also includes details of several concepts for new public realm investments in the spirit of this vision. These same concepts and others are illustrated in the perspectives located at section breaks.
