1000 Students

These taller structures will be the focal
point of the housing on Lambeth Field. Smaller
"mid-rise" buildings of three to four stories
each will be clustered in an informal manner on
the field. They will be arranged so that they
will, in effect, slope up to the higher buildings.
The planners termed this concept "Walk-up
Mid rise."

The Lambeth Field area will be able to
accommodate approximately one thousand
students, according to the proposed plans.

Large, open green spaces have been included
in the preliminary plans. It is hoped that a large
part of the baseball field will be preserved as a
recreational area. The planners suggested that
ideas such as open barbecue pits between the
dormitories, and bicycle paths could also be
incorporated in the Lambeth Field plan.

The planners proposed that the colonnades
of the amphitheatre be preserved. The columns
are to be refurbished, and could be used as a
walkway between different buildings of the
Lambeth Field complex.
