  7. UW TACOMA DESIGN PRINCIPLES • Maintain and expand porous boundaries with community, rather than turning inward. Encourage mixed use. • Connect upper and lower campus. Address the topography. • Insist on beauty and design integrity. Understand what makes the campus buildings beautiful. • Provide vivid, inviting engagement for students, first and foremost, but also for community. • Exemplify the interdisciplinary and integrative logic that is core to UWT’s academic character and identity. • Create buildings that purposely relate to open spaces and connections to other parts of campus and community. • Respect, honor and employ the power of campus landscape. • Seek to organize and articulate our unique sense of place.
