Pilot Projects. ShoemakerGreen is a 3.75 acre site located immediately east of 33rd Street betweenWalnut and Spruce Streets, and is a major component of the east-west connectionbetween the central campus and Penn Park, serving as a new continuation of theLocust Walk / Smith Walk corridor. The site is surrounded by two of theUniversity ¡-s most iconic athletic facilities -C the Palestra and FranklinField, and will serve as the ¡°front doors¡± to these historic structures.Shoemaker Green¡‘s program will mainly be passive recreation, but the site willhave the ability to adapt for multiple events and activities with a wide rangeof scales, from secluded areas to eat lunch all the way up to staging areas forthe Penn Relays and graduation. By way of carrying over the essence of CollegeGreen, while still retaining a character all its own, the site will serve asthe heart of Penn¡¯ s eastward expansion. Shoemaker Green will serve as a modelfor sustainable campus design. Through the innovative use of a variety ofstrategies and technologies, the design of Shoemaker Green has been optimizedto capture and control storm water from the site and surrounding rooftops,provide viable native plant and animal habitats, minimize transportation ofmaterials to and from the site, and serve as a starting point for thedevelopment of a sustainable maintenance strategy for the University at large.
