IV. The Plan to Meet the University's Facilities Needs
Although the population and space projections are for a 20-year planning period, the vision for the physical development of the campus goes well beyond the programmatic 20-year projections (Figure 1). This Master Plan envisions the future campus as a cohesive whole and a place of beauty, an environment that nurtures diversity and that fosters learning and community. In developing the Facilities Master Plan, the steering committee and consultants dealt first with the primary issues that will affect development across the entire campus and in every district. These global issues consist of matching our growth and planning with environmental requirements and projections, developing a comprehensive system for managing vehicular and pedestrian circulation, and fostering land use and buildings that promote community on campus and in the surrounding neighborhoods. The consultants first consolidated and then analyzed the collective vision presented them by the Steering Committee and various stakeholders with whom they met. They then submitted a summary of goals and recommended actions that will help the university achieve its vision. Finally, the committee developed plans for the composition of each district, projecting possible land uses and buildings for the 20-year planning period. The plan provides a narrative and graphic summary of the physical recommendations proposed and a vision of the campus that will guide efforts over the coming decades. |
