Jill Nilsen, vice president of external relations, said a request for proposal is out right now to totally review the Campus Master Plan.

The Campus Master Plan addresses Eastern’s long-term and short-term needs.
The plan coordinates both the physical changes the university requires as well as the goals of the university.

The last changes to the master plan were made in 2002.

In those changes was a planned relocation of the steam plant to off the intersection of 18th Street and Edgar Drive.

Nilsen said when the university won’t be beginning the process for the Campus Master Plan for a while.

The update won’t occur until Spring 2009.

“We’ll make sure community members are involved in those conversations and campus folks – faculty, staff and students,” Nilsen said.
