Master plan update
As part of K-State 2025, the university is embarking on a comprehensive update of its Campus Master Plan, which was last updated in 2004. Master planning provides a road map for growth and renewal, while helping us decide the best place to make capital investments. By moving forward with this planning effort at this time, we can develop a more comprehensive approach to our future.
We have appointed a Campus Master Plan Update Task Force, which includes representatives from across our campus, to help facilitate this process. We also have selected the Baltimore planning and architecture firm of Ayers Saint Gross to provide their professional services.
In the first phase of this project, representatives from Ayers Saint Gross will conduct a series of stakeholder focus group meetings and open campus meetings to gather opinions, experiences and observations about the campus from a wide variety of individuals. Input from campus and community members also will be collected via a web-based survey provided by Mind Mixer.
In future phases, Ayers Saint Gross will gather information on the specific facility needs of academic and administrative units. After analysis of the data supplied by our campus constituents, the firm will develop initial proposals for additional feedback. Ayers Saint Gross will continue to interact with the stakeholders on our campus to refine these proposals, and a final set of recommendations will be presented to the university leadership.
