Project Background

In academic year 2021-22, the Office of the Provost created cross-disciplinary committees to lead a campus-wide Classroom Master Planning initiative. The goal of the plan was to align physical and technological inventories with current and future pedagogies to meet the university’s needs over the next decade.

A vendor, Ayers Saint Gross, was selected to lead campus input and feedback efforts – which included stakeholder meetings, digital surveys, and presentations.

The plan was then created, endorsed and funded by the Board of Trustees in October of 2022, and is now in the implementation phase.

The initial planning/project committees were:
