New Business/Guests
Guest speakers Jim McArthur, Campus Architect and Bob Waddle, Capital Planning
presented the Campus Master Plan. The plan has been under review and
consideration for the past 18-24 months and will be implemented over the course of
the next 30 years once approved and underway. The plan involves not only the
campus members, but it also takes into consideration the city and county needs.
The overall goal of the plan is to create quads across campus in which students can
relate buildings to, while opening the campus up (especially along Wooster St.). The
plan also addresses access to campus and modifying the image visitors receive when
visiting from the I-75 direction. Following are seven distinctive goals that are being
followed in the plans creation:
1. Be distinctive; be attractive
2. Create & engage learners
3. Expand the Campus Experience
4. Foster one B.G., Campus and the community
5. Grow the campus while maintaining the current 7,000 beds
6. Stay “green”
7. Seek investment critical mass
Some of the changes/additions being proposed include:
1. A new Admissions Bldg.
2. Pedestrian parkway

3. Theatre facility
4. Replace South Hall with a new building with lots of windows so you can still
see the inner campus.
5. Open window to the library from Wooster Street.
6. Replace the Centrex Bldg. with a Central Plaza (this would reduce some
parking in that area).
7. Build 3 parking garages: 1) West side of campus (power plant area); 2) NW –
Offenhauer area; and 3) behind the Health Center. Each garage would hold
600 cars.
The last time a Master Plan was done was in 1965. The plan was followed very
closely with 80% of the plan executed.
*The complete Master Plan will be available on the web in the next 6mos.
