Includes members of the University community who participated in the online mapping activity Map Your UR or completed the parking and transportation, dining, and housing surveys.
I visited the information tent for the master plan at Meliora Weekend 2024. I was so impressed with the representatives who explained the plan and how it aligns with the university’s vision. I’m so happy to see that using current space in a better way is a top priority, and that there is a strong focus on transportation, walkability and integration with the community. Kudos to all involved and I can’t wait to see this fall into place!

Map your UR
As part of master planning, we wanted to understand how the community uses and moves around our campuses. This exercise used an interactive map of the University鈥檚 campuses as they appear today to gather data. It required the use of a mouse or touch to input responses. Participants requiring an alternative method for inputting responses were offered an accessible web form instead of the map.
Your input is important!
