The completion of the new Science Center will create an opportun <br />that has never existed at Bethel--the chance to rethink the orga <br />of programs and spaces. Projects beyond the time frame of the ca <br />master plan become part of that opportunity: a new University-w <br />library learning commons would promote learning and student succ <br />and allow much of the Hagstrom Center to be reconceptualized. <br />Additional planning is required in three key areas: <br />The academic experience: if space is available to organize <br />academic programs for new synergies and to create <br />“place-based identities”, how should that be done? <br />The residential experience: what level of academic and <br />social integration should take place in the residence halls <br />and what kinds of spaces should new and remodeled <br />housing have? <br />The student success experience: what programs, <br />services, and spaces help students understand and take <br />advantage of the opportunities available at Bethel to <br />persist, to graduate, and to discover their calling? <br /> The level-by-level concepts on this page are a starting point f <br />part of that discussion: what physical organization might best <br />that experience? Two organizing themes are at the core. <br />Level 3 is considered Main Street on the interconnected Bethel <br />campus. However, it lacks many of the attributes associated with <br />Main Street: zones or blocks of activity, distinguishable neigh <br />identities, or street signs and clearly marked intersections. It <br />be envisioned as a learning street, presenting academic opportun <br />to all the senses--the sight of a digital ticker tape outside th <br />economics department; the sounds of the campus radio station or <br />music practice; the sights and sounds of students studying toget <br />the library; students and faculty engaged in conversation in a <br />dedicated to the liberal arts with the coffee shop just around t <br />Each block should have a different look and feel that invites ex <br />and creates a visible identity for resident programs and service <br />The second major organizing theme continues the Main Street conc <br />into what is functionally the Bethel Village Square--the second level <br />space in the Brushaber Commons. Relocating current occupants of <br />the second level of the Academic Center allows that entire space <br />become a center for student opportunity and student support: fo <br />example, student government, student organizations, study abroad <br />internships, mission work and one-stop student services. Finally <br />locating Campus Ministries in the Village Square emphasizes the <br />importance of faith in all aspects of life at Bethel University. <br />14 <br />
