Campus Master Plans
The Board of Trustees requires that every campus have a physical master plan showing existing and anticipated facilities necessary to accommodate a specified academic year full-time equivalent student (FTE) enrollment at an estimated target date, in accordance with approved educational policies and objectives. Each master plan reflects the ultimate physical requirements of academic programs and auxiliary activities on the campus. In developing the plan, the campus considers costs and benefits, functionally related disciplines and activities, instructional support needs, and environmental impact, including vehicular and pedestrian traffic flow.
Framework Plans
These plans set forth the goals for specific areas of campus planning. The frameworks guide the development of buildings and landscapes and support the overall physical master plan.
