UW Campus Master Planning Kickoff

UW’s current master plan dates to 2003 and the University is looking to update it. The master plan includes transportation, parking, new buildings, energy needs, and green space. When done there will be an epic Environment Impact Statement plus a pretty map that the university will develop towards.

Here’s the map of changes since 2003, click to zoom:

Interested? UW is kicking off the process this Wednesday from 5:30 to 7:30 at University Temple at 1415 NE 43rd street, and then on Thursday from 12:00 to 2:00 at the Husky Student Union Building, room 340.

The overall schedule will go like this:

1. Scoping and development of preliminary concepts is going on now until January
2. The draft plan will be worked on until April of next year
3. Final plan development will then grind along for a full year and a half, to Winter 2017
