520 3 |a Campus planning adaptive-use has been for the last ten years a major issue for campus planners, architects and landscape architects. Adaptive-use is considered for many reasons: decline of enrollment, economic difficulties, historic preservation and change. On campuses, we have continual change in teaching methods, number of students, and continuing education groups. New concepts of building types, designed to keep pace with changing educational requirements as well as the technological changes in construction, will have a profound effect on campus appearance. Nevertheless the open spaces, in, about, and between the buildings are the elements responsible for unifying the campus area into a cohesive whole. Looking at the 1980's, we find a great need for preservation of historic facilities and open spaces as part of adaptive-use concept. The purpose of this dissertation is threefold, to test the stated hypotheses, to find out how the LSU population feel about the total campus physical environment focusing on their attitudes toward open spaces, and to develop an overall concept for the Main Quadrangle open spaces. This concept has to respect the principles of original layout as well as the traces of later historic layers. Also it will lead to a development plan which serves corresponding modern demands and improves the existing system of open spaces in the campus without spoiling educational and cultural values of the past. As development framework it will include guidelines for future open space, the totality of these spaces, their content, and their arrangement as a totally integrated human habitat. This dissertation primary objective is to provide the knowledge, and a process designed to employ that knowledge which is required to prevent undesirable campus change at Louisiana State University. This process is designed to encourage the development of plans and programs for open space campus preservation, readaptation, and maintinance of special character.
