Final Phase of Dowman Drive Enhancements
May 24, 2010
Source: Community Partnership Update/June 2010
Work has resumed in the final phase to complete Emory's main entrance at Dowman Drive. These improvements are a continuation of the project that was started last summer with the new and welcoming ingress to campus. Streetscape improvements will be concentrated to the fronts of the B. Jones and Administration buildings and will complement the landscaped plaza and courtyard of the newly constructed Oxford Road Bookstore and Admissions Office.
Entering Emory's campus from North Decatur Road, visitors will see a new, permanent roundabout with a landscaped island at the intersection of Dowman Drive and South Kilgo Circle; brick pavers and granite curbs on Dowman Drive; improved sidewalks and crosswalks; additional street lights; landscaping; and a relocated visitors information booth near the main entrance. Dowman Drive will also be repaved between the Administration Building and Eagle Row.
Roadwork on Dowman Drive began shortly after Emory's Commencement and is expected to end in August.
The new streetscape on Dowman Drive will provide direct access from North Decatur Road to the new Barnes & Noble bookstore, admissions office and Starbucks coffee shop. The courtyard is designed as a large "green roof" and will cover the parking deck; a green roof was incorporated into the design to enhance the natural environment near the building.
