While Largely a Pedestrian Campus, Vehicles and Parking Make Walking Difficult in Some Locations

POSTED: Sep. 28, 2017

The Kent Campus is largely a pedestrian campus, despite its linear form.  It鈥檚 a mile from the College of Architecture and Environmental Design to Stewart Hall.   The Esplanade helps to unite the south edge of campus and provides excellent wayfinding.  PARTA transit helps connect the campus core to distant parking, Dix Stadium, and the Allerton Sports Complex. 

Yet vehicles intrude into the pedestrian environment in two ways. There are multiple conflict points between pedestrians and vehicles, most prominently along the Esplanade.
