Planning a Better Campus

The Campus Planning department is in charge of and oversees the Campus Master Plan which establishes the look, feel and continuity of the University campus. This department takes major projects on campus from inception and develops feasibility, approval, and final design.

Campus Planning’s services include strategic facility plans, master plans, feasibility studies, facility studies, programming, schematic design, and design development, as well as other miscellaneous studies. More information regarding these and other items may be found on its website at http://facilities.utah.edu/campus-planning.

Every new building on campus begins in Campus Planning. You can see their work in action when you walk around and see all the newly constructed buildings and those currently under construction. They do not manage construction but oversee projects and manage them through the initial approval and various stages of design.

The University has set a standard for experiential learning environment through academically branded environments. A recent example of this can be seen in the L.S. Skaggs Pharmacy Research Building, which was completed in 2013. Outside consultants coordinated with Campus Planning along with their clients to implement aspects of the research and field of interest into the architecture and design of the building in niches in walls, displays, and detailed to the polo sculpture emphasizing the donor’s interest and involvement.
