Campus Master Plan Objectives
The campus master plan provides a blueprint for transforming the physical spaces our K-State community inhabits to address the needs of a growing university. The master plan seeks to implement the tools capable of providing real-time planning guidance considering factors like space utilization, transportation, utilities, building condition, accessibility, security and student experience. Our future campus planning will envision a more sustainable, adaptable university able to meet the demands of a growing university. This project will center our learning, research and service missions into our decision-making framework while offering meaningful engagement opportunities to define the future of K-State campuses as we achieve our vision of becoming a leader among land-grant institutions.
Campus Master Plan Methodology
Executive leadership and a steering committee will select a consultant to guide the team through data collection and stakeholder sessions to devise a new set of tools to guide future campus planning and investment decisions. Stakeholder sessions will involve every college and major unit, alumni, student and faculty organizations and the community.
