| At the time of construction, the area immediately to the north of Draper Hall was occupied by the North Parking Area (extant, reduced in size). Access to the complex was provided by a road that ran from Olmsted Road along the west side of Paige Laboratory, and east between Marston Hall and [[buildings:g:gunness|Gunness Laboratory]]. The formalized vehicular circulation in these areas remains. Governor’s Drive was constructed to the north of the complex following the completion of the buildings. | At the time of construction, the area immediately to the north of Draper Hall was occupied by the North Parking Area (extant, reduced in size).

| - | Since the completion of the complex, the campus has grown with increased development between the core of the campus and the laboratory complex. New buildings that have impacted the complex include Knowles Engineering Building (1991) to the south and Marcus Hall (1966) to the east. Together with Marston Hall, these buildings defined a new quadrangle to the south of the laboratory complex. The Astronomy Building (1968), located to the north of Gunness Hall, has also impacted the landscape associated with [[buildings:g:gunness|Gunness Hall]]. | + | Since the completion of the complex, the campus has grown with increased development between the core of the campus and the laboratory complex.

| Increased formalized vehicular and pedestrian circulation routes, and parking has increased the paved surface of the complex, which was once set in open agricultural land. An historic photograph shows parking in the area to the south of the building, which is not occupied by a quadrangle with mown lawn and bituminous concrete paths. Historic images of the building show minimal foundation planting framing the entrances. New vegetation has been added to the foundation of Marston Hall. | Increased formalized vehicular and pedestrian circulation routes, and parking has increased the paved surface of the complex, which was once set in open agricultural land.
