A website designed to keep the University community updated on the Campus Master Plan is now online at www.uoguelphcmp.com.
The site is intended to engage the U of G community in a discussion about the future of the Guelph campus and communicate project findings and updates. It’s being administered by Urban Strategies, consultants who are working with the master plan steering committee. The U of G committee is made up of representatives from academic, administrative and student groups.
The University’s original master plan was completed in 1964. Updates to accommodate growth and change have occurred about every five years. The last review was in 2002, during a building boom that saw the addition of the science complex and the Rozanski Hall classroom cluster.
In the past decade, the University has undergone extensive changes, including student growth, new buildings and facilities, and changes in academic programs; all of these changes affect how the University needs to function now and in the future.
“We need to revisit the current vision and take it to the next level to reflect the evolution of the U of G campus,” says Don O’Leary, vice-president (finance and administration).
The review is expected to take a year to complete.
