Bailey Plaza Design and Plan
When completed, Bailey Plaza will provide an aesthetic forecourt to Bailey Hall, a fitting complement to the historic auditorium opened in 1913. The plaza, designed by Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates, will improve the quality and organization of the area and will serve as a public gathering space for the University. The landscaped site will support pedestrian use and tie the plaza area to the surrounding campus. Construction is planned to start in the spring of 2007 replacing the current parking area with a patterned blue stone surface for pedestrians. Circulation around Bailey Hall will remain similar to or somewhat improved from the current configuration.
Construction will commence in the spring of 2007. Weekly updates with current status can be found on the Planning, Design and Construction website for Bailey Plaza.
