The campus edge, a transition zone between the university and cityscape, is key to the quality of spatial relationships between campus and neighborhood. Streets are the most common but easily overlooked boundary makers of the campus. The improvement of the streetscape on campus edges could potentially enhance both physical and community relationships between the campus and the city. This thesis undertook a study of the streetscape edge spaces of the University of Georgia in Athens as the research topic. Through the theoretical analysis, selection and analysis of representative study areas, application of Pedestrian Environmental Data Scan (PEDS), and proposed designs for study areas, the research compiled design guidelines for the campus edge streetscape. The design guidelines focused on enhancing the multipurpose uses of public space, increasing interactions of the town-gown community, improving multi-modal transportation, extending campus design features, and ameliorating the transition from campus to city.
