E1 Strawberry Creek Renewal 
Develop and implement a management and phased restoration program for the creek and its riparian landscape, based on ecological principles as described in Strategic Goal 1.
E2 Wheeler Glade
Create a new creekside glade at the Sather Gate bridge, with gently sloping lawn on the south side and a terraced amphitheater form on the north.
E3 Dwinelle & Wheeler Plazas
Refurbish Dwinelle Plaza with improved seating, planting and paving. Continue the paving treatment east through Wheeler Plaza to South Hall.
E4 Campanile Way
Upgrade paving and lighting along Campanile Way and restore the continuity of the rows of plane trees. Create a forecourt at the south center entrance to VLSB.
Remove South Hall Annex and create a semi-enclosed service court, to replace service vehicle parking on Campanile Way.
Close Campanile Way to private vehicles, except for preauthorized service and delivery trips to California and Durant Halls.
E5 Live Oak Glade
Consider replacing the parking lot west of Dwinelle with a new academic building, with replacement parking below grade.
Site and design the new building to frame Campanile Way on the north and a new green open space to the west.
E6 Hearst Field West
Reconstruct Hearst Field West as an artificial turf playfield over two levels of parking, accessed from Barrow Lane.
Develop a new building at the west end of the field along Bancroft, with retail or active university uses at street level.
E7 Sproul Plaza & Sather Road
Repave and refurnish Sproul Plaza and Sather Road in materials commensurate with their role as the primary route through campus.
Expand the cafe terrace, and extend the cafe hours, to create an active social place and help make the plaza feel safer at night.
E8 Stiles Lot
Consider replacing the existing parking lot with a new student services building or, as shown above, a combination of student services on Bancroft and housing on Durant. Provide replacement parking below grade.
E9 Lower Sproul Plaza
In collaboration with student representatives, reprogram and redevelop Lower Sproul as a campuswide center for student services, conferences and organizations.
In lieu of retrofit, consider replacing Eshleman Hall with a lower and more transparent building, with active day-night uses at the plaza level.
Consider renovating Chavez Center as an open, welcoming center for student services, with active day and night uses facing the plaza.
In conjunction with retrofit and renovation of King Student Union, consider:
Creating a spacious transit plaza in place of the existing 'pit' along the Bancroft frontage, or
Expanding the upper and lower plaza levels with two-story extensions to the west and south, to create a larger, more flexible center for conferences, group work and rehearsals.
