I had noticed this on my first walk-about. I then wondered what story hid in the tension between old and new.

Looking at the photos, it became evident that the new and shiny faced out while the noble red brick lived within the confines of the new.

The fact that outward facing buildings are not all aimed at a student audience game me pause

I have enjoyed dinners at the Culinary institute with scant a student to see among the diners

The student center isn't centered, in fact, it cannot be seen from either of the two main thoroughfare bringing traffic to campus. I wonder about that location.

The Chronicle of Higher Education ran a piece last week about the parking crisis on college campuses. Not ours! A belt of parking lots bars your access to the first set of buildings. If not a parking lot, then it will be a garage (one of the south end, one on the north).

On the outskirts, sidewalks and walkways go from the parking lot or garage to a specific building

On the outskirts, one will need to drive from the Midwest Trust center to the Nerman Museum and more so yet to the Culinary institute or the student center. Not that these are far apart, there is simply no path taking the adventurous from one to the other. A single option is available: the car.

On my first walk-about I did notice that the sidewalks came to an end upon reaching the building and that to get to the next building, I had to walk on grass or between bushes. This led me to wonder about access, about audience, about belonging

On this first walk, I made a point in staying on the outskirts of campus. I made the choice to walk off the beaten path that literally limits your mobility to the center of campus.

I noticed on my walk that we have two electric car stations, one on the east and one on the west end of campus. When I get an electric vehicle, I will need to plan a 10 minute walk to my office

To belong one needs a car, unless one happens to be on the route of the bus.

I wonder whether the less affluent parts of Kansas City are linked to our campus via public transportation. The bus pictured here goes from the campus of the University of Kansas in Lawrence, stops at JCCC to end on the Kansas City campus of KU.

I wonder whether the bike parking offered on various ends of campus are aspirational.

Kansas' weather - between blistering summers and the Siberian winters - might lead few individuals to choose the bike. I have seldom seen any on campus. This is likely also a by-product of the absence of bike-lanes on the main roads of access to our campus (despite three lanes!). And yet, our campus is ready for bikers!

Our campus is focused on renewable energies and composting and really anything that is environmentally friendly. I wonder about the tension between bike parking and utter absence of bikes

Mobility also becomes a problem on campus: to go from the parking lots on the margins of campus to the center where the learning takes place requires an uneven hike

I only noticed a few such entries on my walk-about. I wonder how students with limited mobility go around campus.

On our walls, I notice the homogeneity of our leadership. I wonder whether a more diverse leadership would effect change in a predominantly white and well-to-do county
