Phase I: Visioning and Project Framework
Phase I of master planning received recommendations and guidance from a broadly diverse executive steering committee, which was instrumental in selecting the consultant and establishing the project framework. This work concluded in winter 2025.
An advisory group of 50+ faculty and staff from across the University were nominated by their unit leadership to represent critical areas in one-on-one interviews with the consultants.
All faculty, staff, and students were invited to participate in mapping activities, surveys, and university-wide presentations promoted through University communications.
