Master Plan Committee
Master Plan Committee Overview
Mission
This committee exists to review and provide input to the overall physical planning effort. The committee sees updates of Master Planning efforts for all facets (parking, transportation, storm water management, new buildings, etc.) of the overall Campus Master Plan, which is submitted to the Colorado Commission of Higher Education (CCHE) on a 10 year cycle. The committee evaluates and recommends capital construction requests from University Advancement, Council of Deans, and other sources. The internal Facilities Management Design Review Committee will provide informational updates to the Master Plan Committee.
Charge
Act as an advisory body to the University through the Vice President for University Operations on the physical development of the total environment of Colorado State University’s campuses by development, revision, and application of the University’s facilities master plan. The Master Plan Committee will offer input on campus growth through strategic input in support of the University Vision and Campus Experience within the campus framework.

2024 Master Plan Update
The University’s Physical Master Plan update, culminating in 2024, will align with the current Academic Master Plan update. The most recent master plan realized the investment of nearly $1.6 billion in buildings and infrastructure and an increase of nearly 3.4 million gross square feet. The current physical master plan will require the update of several secondary component plans, helping to inform growth plans and needs of the future. The following draft timeline suggests how this update may be implemented in the next 2 years. Click on the image to enlarge it for viewing.
Master Plan Resources
The master plan provides the framework for design and serves as a working document that is updated every 10 years. The next update is in 2024.
The CSU Physical Master Plan “Foundation for a New Century” provides the basis for individual long-range plans and sub-plans. Long range plans include campus circulation, transit, building revitalization, landscape and gardens, utilities, and land acquisition. The sub-plans include outdoor lighting and safety, signage, drainage, art in public places, ADA Transition Plan, plaza improvements, and plans for outlying campuses.
Since master planning is a process, the University continues to review, challenge, and update the plan to meet needs as they change. Thus, “Foundation for a New Century” is based on evolving demographics of the University and not specific time frames.
