Now that’s a Plan!
New Iconic Campus Core
Great News, Everyone! The VSU Board
of Visitors has unanimously approved a
new master plan that will provide a long-
term road map for facilities on campus.
The vote, which came during Thursday’s
full board meeting, follows over a year of
work by staff, faculty and students to un-
derstand the university’s long-term facili-
ties and planning needs. Vice President
for Administration and Finance Kevin Dav-
enport presented the proposed master
plan, which had last been updated in
2006, to the Board during their April meeting.
The Master Plan, while comprehensive and long-range in nature, is also responsive to current needs, and
sufficiently defines and address the future development needs of campus in support of the University’s
mission and strategic plan.
The goals of the Master Plan were simple - Support the Building a Better World Strategic Plan by ena-
bling the University’s physical resources to achieve their goals. Key components of the plan are a new
iconic campus core, integrating the New Multipurpose Center into the main campus, New Academic and
Research Area s, new recreation and leisure spaces, and reinventing the campus core.
Through intensive data collection and analysis, presentation of options and feedback from students, fac-
ulty, staff, and neighbors, our Master Plan is complete. Thanks to everyone that has participated in the
development of the new VSU Master Plan! After over 60 meetings, focus groups, online surveys and
feedback, the final plan is now available on VSU’s website at http://www.vsu.edu/files/docs/capital-

Dr. Aldridge’s name was drawn from one of the cor-rect responses—the photo was taken of the time cap-sule marker that was created in 2001 in front of Harris Hall. The capsule is due to be opened in 2026!
