Pervious surfaces allow water to percolate into the soil where it is cleaned, cooledand slowed down before reaching water bodies or ground water tables.

Major Open Spaces
Observations
Impervious Surfaces
Impervious surfaces –such as pavement, roofs, and other compacted areas - send rain water into the storm water management system.
Unfortunately, increased impervious surface also increases the volume and velocity of water entering the system which can result in back-up, over-flow, and ultimately flooding due to poor drainage.
Observations
Impervious Surfaces
[Aggregated]
Impervious surfaces take up 80% of the campus.

Observations Summary
• Great momentum of recent campus improvements
• Good plans in place for surrounding campus areas will improve image and livability of Newark
• Safety on campus is very good
• Visitor experience could be improved getting to and on campus
• Parking need for visitor events
• Facilities needs for current and planned growth
• Improve safe connections to surrounding institutions.
• Enhance the student life experience through improved athletics / recreation venues and facilities that recognize the creative, innovative campus population.
• Limited on and off campus entertainment, retail, hotel, and conference venues
• Potential acquisition of High School gives NJIT needed flexibility
Mission
As a major public technological university, NJIT is an important conduit through which technology flows into society. NJIT’s faculty, staff and students are committed and focused on the mission of education, research, service and economic development, to play a critical role in shaping New Jersey's future.
~ Excellence in professional education
~ Preparing students for productive careers
~ Conducting research in multi-disciplinary fields
~ Service to local communities and broader society
~ Encouraging a diverse student body
~ Advancing the use of technology as a means to improve the quality of life
Draft Planning Principles
• Develop facilities and resources to support NJIT’s mission and future long-term growth
• Reinvigorate the social, academic and cultural life on campus by way of permeating technological awareness and shaping of a “life of the mind”
• Establish significant, meaningful spaces to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration and professional development
• Create inviting approaches, distinct gateways and strong pedestrian connections to downtown and surrounding neighborhoods
• Increase connections between the university and adjacent institutions
Draft Concept Plan
Establish a distinct presence and character
Define edges of campus
Create inviting approaches and powerful gateways
Strengthen pedestrian connections to downtown and surrounding neighborhoods
Evaluate loading and service function placement within the campus as a whole
Create a Strong Central Core
Increase the green space on campus; maintain and develop an integrated string of significant open spaces
Clarify the connections between existing outdoor recreation areas
Create powerful view corridors
Realize potential to create axial entry sequence off of New St., from Rutgers University at MLK Blvd.
Draft Concept Plan
Develop a framework to support the responsible capacity of the campus
Maximize current building efficiency by redistribution of rooms, equipment storage and circulation.
Utilize edge sites to their fullest potential as “gateways” to the university
Develop sites in a meaningful and effective manner for future growth
Draft Concept Plan
Draft Concept Plan
Promote Clear Connections
Share surrounding resources with neighborhood institutions
Foster the development of the university district and the city of Newark
Create an evident character to develop the connection from NJIT through Rutgers, continuing to Military Park
Strengthen residential life in and around the university through public-private partnerships along New and Halsey Streets, as well as in the James Street Historic District
