Boundless Possibility, the University’s 2030 strategic plan, has launched a 15-month master planning process, one that will engage the entire University community in mapping the future of its physical footprint and help to ensure that Rochester’s campuses and facilities meet the evolving needs of students, faculty, staff, and the broader community. To date, more than 9,300 community members have participated in surveys and activities that will inform the master plan, including a student housing assessment, transportation and parking study, dining evaluation, and online mapping activity. Learn more about the planning process, the team leading the effort, and ways to get involved on the master planning website.
