DISCUSSION 1. Adam gave a brief update on the process so far, and walked through major changes in the plan. 2. Frustration was expressed about not having representation from JHU Facilities attending the meetings. 3. The proper name for the "White House" is the Owen House and if the building is to be removed, we should be sensitive to the Owen name and it may need to be extended to a future project. 4. There was discussion about the deck behind the Hopkins Club and how it might obscure the nice northwestern face of the building. 5. Concern was expressed about the closing of Wyman Park Drive. Many thought that it was a good idea to connect the campus to the building visually and to facilitate pedestrian traffic back and forth, but were concerned that the closing of the street may compromise the original intention of the Olmstead "park drive" design. Others thought that if the traffic was not that significant on that stretch of road, and the adjacent streets could handle the extra capacity it should be closed. 6. The patrons of Theatre Hopkins need to be accommodated. They are generally senior citizens and need to be able to park near the Merrick Barn. 7. Large buses need to be able to get near Shriver Hall to unload young children for special community coordinated events. 8. There are few proposed future building sites that we have identified on the concept plan. It is imperative that we discuss options for growth east of Charles Street 9. There was discussion of whether or not the entry circle should be opened or closed to traffic. The library would like to see it closed to traffic to eliminate the unsightly congestion in front of the building. On the other hand many say that it should remain open and the circle drive should be restored as a ceremonial entry to the campus. The address for Hopkins is 3400 Charles Street and they think that people should be able to access the campus at that point. If the circle is to be open, there should be some sort of an information station at that location to guide visitors.
