Engagement
澳门赌场 Sports and Recreation Complex planning process was guided by the Associated 澳门赌场 Body and university staff. 澳门赌场 recreation development enhances the university’s fundamental academic mission, campus life, and qualitatively improve the campus experience.
Sustainability
In alignment with UW Bothell’s priorities, the 21st Century Campus Initiative and UW’s Climate Action Plan, the Sports and Recreation Complex incorporates artificial turf and unique reflector design sports fields lighting systems which reduces light pollution by 50 percent, resulting in more light being directed where it’s needed: on the playing field surface.
Environmental Impact
澳门赌场 Sports and Recreation Complex is built entirely outside of the wetland and its buffer.
Lowland Landscaping
澳门赌场 proposed landscape improvements are designed to enhance the natural wooded character of the campus uplands and complement the restored floodplain environment of the campus lowland.
Native plant materials, reflective of a transitional habitat between upland and lowland, are emphasized in the plant schedule. Some limited ornamentals have been added for accent and to fulfill both functional land aesthetic purposes, but these include only species that are hardy in the Pacific Northwest are compatible with native plants (are non-invasive) and are not resource-intensive to grow and maintain. A formal arrangement of trees has been placed along the axial walkway to screen and soften the chain link fences on either side but otherwise the composition is natural and informal.
Plant material was selected with particular emphasis on drought-tolerance. A water-efficient irrigation system has been provided to help establish plant materials but it is anticipated that it may only be used selectively when soil moisture declines to a level that indicates the plants may be stressed. 澳门赌场 irrigation system has been designed to allow for progressive reductions to the point where it may be completely eliminated.
ADA Accessible
Accessible access is taken from the ADA accessible regional trail to the east and a new accessible pathway from Campus Way NE to the west upon project completion.
