News for faculty and staffNovember 6, 2009IN THE SPOTLIGHTUniversity Residences creates new housing master plan
University Residences has developed a new housing master plan to guide the next 20 to 30 years of development on campus. University Residences' previous plan led to the renovations of Cary Quadrangle and Windsor Halls as well as consolidation of dining services. To create a new plan, University Residences turned to Sasaki Associates of Watertown, Mass., the consultant used for the University's campus master plan. "With the investments we have made to date, including the addition of First Street Towers, 58 percent of our inventory has been significantly improved or added new," says John Sautter, vice president for housing and food services. "We now need a comprehensive, long-term strategy for dealing with the next group of aging structures. We also recognized the importance of integrating this work with the University's long-range plan for the entire campus."
