  Campus Master Planning Committee

The Campus Master Planning Committee is a University wide standing committee with responsibility for identifying and assessing the relative priorities of facilities needs and for recommending to the President plans for meeting those needs. In carrying out that responsibility the Committee will maintain and regularly update a complete list of proposed facilities improvements and major maintenance projects. Part of that effort will involve reviewing and evaluating facilities project requests submitted as part of the annual budget preparation process. The Committee will also serve to gather and disseminate information for the University's planning consultants.
