Defining the Future of KU!
In summer 2022, KU began work on developing the 2024 master plan, which will help define the future of KU!
The master plan process sought to ensure that the physical campus supports and advances the three priorities set forth in our Jayhawks Rising strategic plan:
- Student Success
- Healthy & Vibrant Communities
- Research & Discovery.
A campus master plan is the result of extensive collaboration, consultation and thoughtful input from all campus stakeholders. It is a shared vision created by and for the KU community.
Creating the new master plan followed a process of campus engagement during which hundreds of individuals were engaged in meetings, focus groups, interviews and community forums. The process also included extensive analysis of building and facility use, historic patterns, land use, program accommodation, sustainability and other areas. The process was intended to give all stakeholders — students, faculty, staff, and others — multiple opportunities to contribute ideas and feedback.
The consultants selected to lead the plan, Perkins&Will and Multi Studio, engaged all members of the KU community throughout the planning process, starting with community-wide surveys, individual and group interviews, and town hall/open house events.
Opportunities to engage and provide input were announced on this website, by email, and through social media.
