Week One Lab

Week one consisted of forming our groups and coming up with three ideas for skyways around Drexel. To start our planning, we thought of the locations on campus which are in need of better accessibility.

After picking between a bridge across Market Street, a bridge across 33rd Street, and a bridge across Chestnut Street, we landed on the idea for a walkway across Chestnut because we felt that there is a lot of pedestrian traffic across Chestnut Street across from the Handschumacher Dining Hall and into the Quad area between Papadakis Integrated Sciences Center, Korman Center, and Stratton Hall (Figure 1).

We plan on conducting surveys with other students to determine whether or not they would benefit from this plan or another. The surveys would be online and conducted in person around campus, targeting students in the Handschumacher Dining Hall, the library, and around Chestnut Street.
