Members, Board of Trustees:
ESTABLISH PRINCIPLES FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION
OF THE
CAMPUS MASTER PLAN
Recommendation: that the Board of Trustees establish principles for the implementation of the
Campus Master Plan - Update 2013.
Background: The Campus Master Plan – Update 2013 was developed with the recognition that
the campus, in its entirety, is more than the mere functional arrangement of buildings, roads,
walkways, parking lots and landscapes. It defines a collective experience of place and
community, which is an essential part of the teaching, research and learning experience for
students, faculty, and staff. Perhaps more than any other single aspect of the University, the
physical environment has the power to embody and express the purpose and mission of the
University of Kentucky. The campus can be a rich expression of tradition and history, a
fundamental resource to the current educational experience, and an invaluable reference point in
helping to define the future.
The Master Plan Principles, attached hereto, establish the foundation and priorities for the
development of the University of Kentucky campus and are intended to be applied in conjunction
with the campus framework plan and campus district strategies. These principles were developed
through consultation with the University community and direction from the University’s master
planning committees. The principles link the physical development of the campus with the
University’s mission, and will assist in decision-making around campus improvements.
