TAMIU Campus Plan Master Plan Update, May 2023

127 Campus Master Plan Update 127 C/ APPENDIX that flows towards the East and passes underneath the University Blvd via existing storm culverts and this eventually flows into the green belt south of the Residential Learning Community buildings. These pipes and inlets require rerouting . With the new improvements, we can incorporate some storm water quality ponds, bioswales and retention ponds in the Landscape areas (see the attached exhibit) and connect them to the existing storm infrastructure on the University Blvd. The proposed student Housing (Key F) is north to the existing Residential Community which is at higher elevation than the University Blvd. The existing drainage pattern follows sheet flowing the storm water on to the University Blvd and to green belt on the South and East side. There are existing inlets, 36” RCP (which carry flow from part the Campus on the West side) and 4” HDPE pipes (which loops around Residential Learning Community building). All the existing storm infrastructure flows towards East into the green belt. The existing storm Long-Term Plan: The proposed administrative building (Key P) drainage can be sheet flown to the East to the green belt and eventually connect to the existing storm infrastructure or we can propose storm infrastructure and connect it to the curb inlets on the University Blvd and there is existing Storm infrastructure on the West side as well to tie-in to (See the snip below). Attached the exhibit showing the proposed drainage pattern. The proposed administrative building (Key Q) drainage can use sheet flow to the West towards the green belt and eventually connect to the existing storm infrastructure or new proposed storm infrastructure could be established and connected to the curb inlets on the University Blvd (which flow towards the East into the green belt). There is also existing Storm infrastructure on the East side as well to tie-in to (See the snip below). Attached the exhibit showing the proposed drainage pattern. The proposed FPA expansion (Key I) have existing inlets and 15” RCP pipes in the area which needs to be relocated and tied back into the existing storm infrastructure. Depending upon the addition of more impervious cover, existing inlet sizes and pipes might need to be upsized. infrastructure needs to be relocated and re-routed. The proposed student housing can be drained using sheet flow towards East side to the green belt (see the snip below). Attached the exhibit showing the proposed drainage pattern. There’s Landscape planned between the proposed buildings, and this can be a good place to incorporate some storm water quality ponds, bioswales and retention ponds in the Landscape area and connect them to the re-routed storm infrastructure.
