What Is A Campus Master Plan?

A Campus Master Plan is a powerful tool that provides an opportunity to re-examine physical campus improvements every 10 to 20 years and prioritize near, medium, and long-term capital improvements. We assess and recommend improvements to academic life, sustainability, campus life, infrastructure, mobility, and open space. The Campus Master Plan update will guide the physical development of our campus, providing a framework that is visionary and implementable.

Why Is This Important To Me?

A Campus Master Plan informs how an institution uses its buildings and spaces to meet its academic, scholarly, research, artistic, residential, service, strategic, and related goals.

The Campus Master Plan will guide us in ensuring that we meet these goals with our physical spaces and places while advancing accessibility, inclusion, and opportunity. It will articulate concepts and priorities that help make UTA a thriving place for everyone who lives and works on campus, for our visitors, our neighbors, the city of Arlington, the DFW region, and beyond.

How Will This Process Engage The Community?

Community input is essential to the campus planning process. At every stage, we will invite members of the college community to share their perspectives, thoughts, concerns, and feedback to help develop the plan and shape the future of the physical campus, from buildings to walkways, open spaces to roads, classrooms to residential spaces, and more. UTA's campus places and spaces are among its greatest assets, and we must make the best possible use of them as a leading institution of learning, discovery, creativity, and science.

Our aim is to work together to create a campus that is even more vibrant, dynamic, beautiful, sustainable, and accessible. Your input will ensure that our campus plan serves UTA now and long into the future.

Process and Timeline

Each phase builds upon the previous one to generate ideas and deepen our understanding of the issues and opportunities that will inform the Campus Master Planning effort.

Understanding Our Current Spaces and Facilities

Our campus master planning process will begin with input from those who know UTA best – our students, faculty, staff, and alumni. Through guided listening sessions, we will gain a deep understanding of our shared goals, aspirations, and current challenges for our existing campus facilities and spaces.

Exploring Campus Challenges and Opportunities

We will use data and analysis to explore campus challenges and opportunities, with a special focus on building conditions, parking needs, traffic flow for cars and pedestrians, and the quality of landscapes and natural systems. Focusing on these elements will help us determine opportunities for sustainable development and areas of improvement for our physical campus framework, from accommodating new building footprints to creating new transportation linkages and enlivening campus spaces.

Realizing Our Ideal Campus

The strongest ideas that emerge from the prior phases will inform our Campus Master Plan. From new development, renovation, reuse, and re-purposed space to recommendations for improvements to current campus systems, the Campus Master Plan will provide a strong, flexible framework to help guide the college for years to come.

SCHEDULE

The Campus Master Plan process consists of three phases: Understand, Explore, and Realize. These will take place from September 2023 through around December 2024.
