<strong>Facilities</strong> <strong>Development</strong> <strong>Plan</strong><br />
CHAPTER 6: Implementation<br />
Recommendations<br />
Overview<br />
<strong>The</strong> purpose <strong>of</strong> this 2006 <strong>Facilities</strong><br />
<strong>Development</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> is to update the 1997 Master<br />
<strong>Plan</strong> and ensure that a unifying, but fl exible<br />
vision governs the development <strong>of</strong> the physical<br />
campus over the next seven to ten years. While<br />
the <strong>Facilities</strong> <strong>Development</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> builds on the<br />
guiding principles and goals <strong>of</strong> the 1997 <strong>Plan</strong>,<br />
it has been shaped by careful assessment <strong>of</strong><br />
our current situation, our progress in meeting<br />
its goals, our appraisal <strong>of</strong> future campus needs,<br />
and new input from our stakeholders.<br />
Implementation <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Facilities</strong> <strong>Development</strong><br />
<strong>Plan</strong> will be governed by the strategic agenda<br />
<strong>of</strong> the <strong>University</strong>, which refl ects overall<br />
directions set in the Board <strong>of</strong> Regents’ Strategic<br />
Framework. Challenges related to the<br />
implementation <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Facilities</strong> <strong>Development</strong><br />
<strong>Plan</strong> include: resource constraints (including<br />
60<br />
2006 - 2015<br />
limited bonding capacity); the extent <strong>of</strong><br />
the challenge to remedy some facilities’<br />
shortcomings; the need to coordinate with a<br />
variety <strong>of</strong> third parties on matters involving our<br />
southern, western, and buffer properties; and<br />
the regulation <strong>of</strong> traffi c and parking proximate to<br />
the campus. <strong>The</strong> following are recommendations<br />
for plan implementation for new construction,<br />
deferred maintenance, building site analysis,<br />
studies and policies.<br />
New Construction<br />
Three signifi cant new construction projects<br />
are underway or will begin soon on the main<br />
campus.<br />
<strong>The</strong> fi rst project, to build three new suite-style<br />
residence halls, is already under construction.<br />
One <strong>of</strong> three new residence halls is moving<br />
towards its goal <strong>of</strong> completion by August, 2007.<br />
Preliminary work has begun to prepare the<br />
