Board of Regents accepts master plan
October 13, 2006
The Board of Regents held its annual fall meeting last week, and, among other action, accepted the Campus Master Plan as a foundation for campus physical development and for projects spanning the next 10 to 20 years.
Developed over the past three years by a 13-member steering committee, the master plan addresses current and future infrastructure needs of the university. It includes building renovations, proposals for new buildings and recreation facilities and plans for the landscape of the campus. View the plan online at www.plu.edu/~mstrplan.
The board authorized the administration to secure bond financing to fund campus facilities projects and approved Sellen Construction to provide pre-construction services for the University Center renovation. Additionally, the board authorized continued preparation for the next major capital campaign, including a philanthropic market study.
The meeting was preceded by an educational retreat that included three interrelated components: a half-day review of PLU 2010, the current long-range planning document; a discussion about the history and process of the general education curriculum reform initiative; and an outline of the university’s finances, including the related resources, expenses and endowments.
Additionally, the board examined the fall 2006 enrollment results and trends, and discussed recruiting and admission plans for next year’s class. Other committee activity included presentations by Academic Affairs, Budget and Finance, Development, and Student Life.
The board welcomed six new regents this fall. They are Neal Arntson ’58, Linda Barbo, Gayle Berg ’72, Mark Knudson ’70, Jon Kvinsland ’63, Donna Schlitt and Tom Vraalsen.
The next Board of Regents meeting will be held Jan. 26 to 27.
