Campus planning at the University of Arizona integrates long-range, pre-project and open space planning, historic preservation, GIS and campus mapping. Utilizing a comprehensive perspective, we consider how various planning efforts fit together to sustain the University’s near term and long-term growth and development. We also help coordinate Public-Private Partnership (PPP) opportunities that provide the University alternative means of delivery of facilities or resources.
Masterplan
The University of Arizona Master Plan will be used to guide the optimal growth and development of the physical and functional campus in support of the University’s Strategic Plan priorities – anticipating future trends and priorities while also providing the flexibility to adapt to continuous change. All of the University of Arizona community is invited to participate in the exploration of how we will continue to develop our campus.
Comprehensive Campus Plan
The goal of the University of Arizona Comprehensive Campus Plan is to provide the best environment for teaching, research, student life, and service to the State of Arizona in support of University academic and strategic planning.
The Comprehensive Campus Plan is updated in approximately five-year intervals. The current plan was adopted by the Arizona Board of Regents (ABOR) in 2003 and updated in 2009.
The Plan provides a framework for growing the physical campus while balancing many interconnected and interdependent issues, weaving together needs of campus density, building form and inspirational open space within the framework of utility infrastructure, pedestrian, bicycle, parking and neighboring land use.
