PLG CNS STC FPA REC KCB 46 Texas A&M International University 3 - CAMPUS PLAN The renovated commons area will create two different spaces: the north commons, and the south commons, divided by a pedestrian walk into two spaces with different characteristics– each rectangular features running north/ south. The first new space, the north commons, will be a flexible, informal plaza to create a place for informal gatherings or studying. Comfort and scale will be created with plentiful shade created by a new grove of shade trees and accented by blooming ornamental trees and shrub plantings. The second space, the south commons, has a rectangular area of gravel with café/ moveable seating and protected from the elements by generous shade sails. A unified planting scheme will reinforce the relationship between the north and south commons spaces. All of these landscape improvements will preserve the existing visual access between the Student Center and adjacent Kinesiology & Convocation buildings. EXISTING Student Commons (continued)
