Campus Master Plan Phases

The master plan, which has been in development for more than eight months, will expand the campus in a westward direction, with the university's primary entrance being at the newly-extended Pleasant Plains Road. The university presently owns more than 120 acres to the west of Walker Road, which forms the current western boundary of the Union campus. That acreage straddles the four-lane parkway that opened in early December and will be the site of virtually all of the projected new facilities.

The new Union entrance would lead to a "great lawn" (with gardens and water features) running eastward, with new buildings constructed on either side of this central campus quad. The university's three existing academic buildings — Penick Academic Complex, Blasingame Academic Complex, and the Barefoot Student Union Building — would form the eastern boundary of the campus.
