Renovation Opportunities

6.4 million gross square feet—30% of campus space—is located in buildings rated as worst, severe, or poor condition. The Master Plan addresses the quality of existing spaces in three ways: proposed major renovation, deferred maintenance repairs, and demolition. The plan proposes over 1.9 million square feet of major renovation to facilities and spaces, infusing fresh energy into buildings where major programmatic changes are proposed. These renovations are opportunities to modernize facilities to accommodate today’s teaching, research, and workplace needs. The plan also recognizes the substantial need to address deferred maintenance and ensure buildings stay in good condition. The University will execute those projects as funding becomes available, and the Master Plan does not itemize deferred maintenance specifically.
