  • Campus Master Plan
    CAMPUS MASTER PLAN CASE WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY 1 2 MASTER PLAN UMC-3318-2_2018 A Call to Action As higher education evolves, Case Western Reserve University must adapt to remain competitive. This adaptation must include long-term, sustainable strategies for growth. Partnerships such as the collaboration with Cleveland Clinic on the Health Education Campus (HEC) and innovation investments such as the Larry Sears and Sally Zlotnick Sears think[box] will help shape CWRU’s future. This Campus Master Plan builds on the long legacy of campus planning at CWRU and helps frame the continued success of the university. For this reason, the Campus Master Plan identifies profound and resourceful ways to elevate space quality and functionality. Recommendations include a series of catalytic projects, the formation of a design review board, policy recommendations and detailed building use strategies. Implementing this plan will strengthen the university and its neighbors alike. CASE WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY 3 The Campus Master Plan It’s fashionable to think that campuses don’t matter anymore, that digital technology and remote learning have made buildings, commons, residence halls and libraries obsolete. Not true. Campus buildings, from residence halls to stadiums and labs, and physical features such as common areas, quads and walkways, are essential to learning, collaboration and the random encounters that make higher education so valuable. That’s why Case Western Reserve creates a Campus Master Plan every 10 years. The design and use of land and buildings are too important to be allowed to develop without careful thought and planning. Though it represents the consensus best thinking about the university’s future needs and goals, the plan is not a binding document, but rather a flexible No first-year student orientation would be complete without the spelling guide for the university.
