What is Sustainability? Pattern of resource use that aims to meet human needs while preserving the environment so that these needs can be met not only in the present, but also for generations to come. Three Pillars of Sustainability
Why Master Plan? • Promote coherent comprehensive campus development to support institutional mission • Avoid precluding future options • Engage campus stakeholders in process and establish a culture of planning • Intentionally address sequence and phasing of needs given finite resources
Integrated Planning • Best if master planning occurs within a context of integrated planning • Proactive, intentional intersection of Programmatic, Physical and Financial. • Engages a broad cross-section of campus decision makers.)
Campus Master Planning Process • Engage campus stakeholders and host community • Identify issues • Inventory existing site conditions and assess condition of facilities • Conduct space needs assessment and gap analysis • Identify and synthesize key issues • Create and evaluate alternative concepts • Refine preferred concept and establish design guidelines • Craft implementation plan (i.e. action to be done, by whom, at what cost, when)
