Dear Campus Colleagues,

We have begun an 18-month process to update the master plan for our campus. We use the master plan to guide our development, renovation and repurposing of facilities and spaces on campus.

The planning process will involve leadership and input from across the campus to help align the ongoing development of physical campus spaces with academic plans and programs. Our goal is to create a plan that provides a campus environment that supports our learning, discovery and outreach missions while serving as an example of sustainability and enriching our diverse communities and neighborhoods.

The plan will be stronger and better if everyone shares ideas and feedback, so the committee will launch an interactive website soon and will host several Town Hall meetings to gather input from campus and community members. Information about the current master plan is available at https://www.uocpres.uillinois.edu/resources/planning. The first Town Hall will be Apr. 12 from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. in the Activities and Recreation Center (ARC), room MP6. We hope you can attend.

Thank you in advance for your help in this important project.

Sincerely,

Barbara Wilson
Interim Chancellor

Edward Feser
Interim Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and Provost
