2025 Design & Master Plan - South Dakota State University

3.6 implementation
The implementation phases outlined in this section represent significant
changes to the physical campus structure in support of the immediate and
long-term vision of the university’s 2025 Facility Master Plan.
Within the improvements outlined, the redistribution of campus parking is the
key driver for initiating the transition to a more pedestrian-oriented campus
environment supported by green spaces and pedestrian corridors. It is
important that in the implementation of these projects, consideration is given
to the incorporation of elements that will result in the creation of a campus
environment that is user-friendly, welcoming, easily navigable, and safe for
visitors, students, faculty and staff. The planning principles outlined earlier in
the document are to be the backbone for the campus development indicated
in these phases.
The timeline for implementation of the master plan can be impacted by a
variety of factors such as funding, enrollment trends and other unforeseen
university needs. The implementation plan lays out a set of phases, likely
occurring over the next 10 to 15 years. The phases of the parking projects
are organized in a sequence that meets the projected parking needs of the
campus community through each development.
