Community Connectivity One critical issue to resolve early in the planning process for such a project is insularity versus community integration. To what degree, if any, will facilities and resources be open to the community? In some cases, where the college or university is reluctant to immediately open all its doors to the community, the project can be designed to open these doors when the time is right. However, forward-thinking institutions see these projects as an opportunity to become integral parts of their communities from the outset. Infill sites can be situated between the campus edge and community in order to contribute better to revitalizing the community while providing a market for retail and other commercial enterprises that would become part of these developments. Buildings can be designed with commercial or retail spaces on the lower levels, accessible to the public, while residential spaces are located off the ground floor, enhancing security for residents. The Continuum in Gainesville, Florida, is scheduled to begin construction in the last quarter of 2009. It will be located on University Avenue, four blocks from the University of Florida and across the street from the downtown campus of Santa Fe College, which has an enrollment of more than 14,000 students. The site, being developed by Capstone Development Corp., is currently home to the First Baptist Church of Gainesville and is located in the mixed-use blocks between the historic town center and the university. The church will be moving later this year to a new suburban campus in Gainesville, and the Continuum will adaptively re-use the historic (c. 1900) church sanctuary. Designed as a town within a town, the project is tailored to graduate and professional school students, university faculty, and staff. The 565 beds consist mainly of studio and loft apartments and as one- and two-bedroom units. Four newly constructed buildings and a 700-space parking structure will be integrated with the renovated church, which may house amenity spaces for the town, including a community and fitness center, game room, lounges, dining and retail establishments, and office space, as well as study, seminar, and conference areas. Early on, the developer and architect had recognized the site’s advantages. First, the urban infill site has high visibility. Because the neighborhood’s existing retail core was viable but spotty, a new mixeduse development can reinvigorate the district with ground-floor retail spaces, commercial services, and a parking garage. The city has no minimum requirements for parking, allowing the project team greater flexibility to balance site and
