CAMPUS MASTER PLAN ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN GUIDELINES: 1.1.1 Building Placement (C) Most importantly, on the Tampa Campus, no new buildings should negatively impact the Greenway, which extends from the pond at Bruce B. Downs Boulevard to the wetlands at Fletcher Avenue and 50th. Street. The Greenway must be recognized for its functional role in providing suitable stormwater retention/detention area and for its aesthetic role in providing a sense of clarity and orientation to the campus. It is imperative that this designated land be preserved and maintained as open space.

Site design is to ensure that any increases in stormwater runoff are collected, conveyed, and managed in accordance with the University’s Master Drainage Plan.
