<strong>Facilities</strong> <strong>Development</strong> <strong>Plan</strong><br />
Other Studies & <strong>Plan</strong>ning Efforts<br />
Utilities Master <strong>Plan</strong>: Farris Engineering<br />
has recently developed a thermal and<br />
capital needs study for building expansions<br />
and renovation. <strong>The</strong> Appendix refl ects the<br />
results <strong>of</strong> this <strong>Development</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>.<br />
Parking Master <strong>Plan</strong>: Sinclair Hille<br />
Architects are currently developing a<br />
Parking Master <strong>Plan</strong>.<br />
Landscape Master <strong>Plan</strong>: In addition,<br />
Sinclair Hille Architects are also developing<br />
a design for the campus landscape zones.<br />
Campus and Greek Life Housing<br />
Master <strong>Plan</strong>: Completed in 2004, this<br />
plan covers the current and future phased<br />
development <strong>of</strong> residence halls.<br />
Athletic and Recreation Master <strong>Plan</strong>:<br />
A concept has been developed for potential<br />
construction <strong>of</strong> athletic and recreation<br />
facilities on the south farmland property.<br />
However, because <strong>of</strong> the recent renovation<br />
<strong>of</strong> Foster Field and the addition <strong>of</strong> the Ron<br />
and Carol Cope Stadium, it will need to be<br />
revised.<br />
Construction Project Process: UNK<br />
should undertake an evaluation <strong>of</strong> the<br />
policies and procedures in the project<br />
planning and construction process to<br />
ensure that needs can be met quickly and<br />
economically. <strong>The</strong> existing communication<br />
process should be updated to educate<br />
faculty, staff, administrators and<br />
stakeholders on recent developments in the<br />
construction planning process.<br />

2006 - 2015<br />
Updating Design Guidelines: <strong>The</strong><br />
design guidelines for the campus should<br />
be reviewed and updated to provide<br />
consistency and coordination in the design<br />
<strong>of</strong> building, signage and other campus<br />
features.<br />
Updating the <strong>Facilities</strong> <strong>Development</strong><br />
<strong>Plan</strong>: Should the Board <strong>of</strong> Regents adopt<br />
this document that is broad in scope, yet<br />
establishes suffi cient background and<br />
analysis to provide campus leaders with a<br />
framework for decision making, a regular<br />
evaluation <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Plan</strong> should take place.<br />
This evaluation should assess progress<br />
in the implementation <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Plan</strong> and<br />
recommend changes or updates that may<br />
be needed.<br />
Coordination <strong>of</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>ning Efforts:<br />
UNK’s strategic planning process guides<br />
program planning in key functional<br />
areas. Phase One developed a consensus<br />
statement <strong>of</strong> UNK’s mission, vision,<br />
values, goals, and objectives. Phase Two<br />
will generate a family <strong>of</strong> action plans to<br />
implement the Phase One guidance. This<br />
<strong>Facilities</strong> <strong>Development</strong> Update will be<br />
incorporated into that family <strong>of</strong> plans.<br />
