Desirability
The committee stresses the desirability of
the Duke property, already the site of the
proposed law and business complex, for the
location of the residential colleges. The report
concludes that, "The Duke property ...answers
acceptably most of the objections proposed
against Birdwood along with several additional
benefits."
"First, it is not so distant; it is part of a full
length of University property, it will be part of
the main University transit system, and it
cannot be expanded beyond approximately
3,000 students. What is more, it lies in a
direction which will not overload existing
intersections, and it could serve as a means of
binding both the residential college and the
already splintered Law and Graduate Business
Schools to the University," the report states.
In arriving at its conclusion that the
Birdwood tract is not the optimum site for the
residential colleges the Committee examined
several major questions. Geography,
transportation and size were among issues dealt
with by the committee.
