Master Plan FAQ
The Campus Master Plan is a long-term strategic framework designed to guide the physical development of our university campus. It outlines our vision for future growth, focusing on enhancing academic excellence, sustainability, student life and community connections.
The plan is essential for ensuring that our campus evolves in ways that support our mission and goals. It helps us make informed decisions about land use, facilities, infrastructure and sustainability, creating a cohesive and inspiring environment for our community.
The planning process is highly collaborative, involving input from students, faculty, staff, alumni and local community members. We also work with architects, planners and sustainability experts to develop the plan.
The Campus Master Plan is a descriptive, living document that serves as a tangible expression of the university’s strategic vision and is intended to function as a compass guiding the university’s physical development, ensuring that short-term projects align with the university’s long-term plans and goals. The plan does not denote funding for projects.
