Plan
| "Emory is superbly placed to act in a leadership position for the rest of American higher education. . . It is almost alone. . . at this moment in history. . . in possessing the power to change, to alter its destiny, and to define an identity all of its own. Emory is not fully formed. The terrain between what it is and what it can be will be the new center of my attention." - William M. Chace, President |
Initiative for a Campus Plan
|
Just as Choices and Responsibility is a call to action for a strategic academic plan, the new Campus Plan must be a call to action for a physical plan which engages the entire university community with its power to reflect and embody the goals, culture and mission of Emory. Just as there is an "unprecedented move toward a unitary view of Emory by Emory's chief academic administrators" concerning the five potent issues of Choices and Responsibility, there seems also to be a unity of opinion and conviction concerning both the need for this Campus Plan and what it can and should achieve. |
Planning Process
|
The process began in early 1996, when, at the request of President Chace, the Department of Campus Planning developed an approach to defining a scope of work, the selection process for a consulting team, and preliminary work required to support the effort. The firm of Ayers/Saint/Gross (Baltimore, MD) was selected in October, 1996 to be our primary planning consultants. Together with the University, Ayers/Saint/Gross detailed five steps we will follow in developing the Campus Master Plan. Click on the thumbnail (left) to see an elaboration of the planning process. |
People
Involved
|
A campus plan involves many individuals and groups, both those responsible for creating or approving the plan, and those constituencies from whom the plan flows, and whose contributions are correspondingly essential. Among the participants are the Consultant Team, the Steering Committee and Working Group, contacts from within the University, and contacts from the surrounding community.

Feedback |
Involvement is the life's blood of a campus plan project. While much
feedback has already been received, the continuing collection of input from all sources is
very important. We hope that providing this material via the Web will increase people's
access to it and prompt questions, comments, and responses. Please feel free to forward
