  • Campus Master Plan Summary 2019
    Campus Master Plan Summary 2019 The University of North Alabama experience begins with our campus community and the educational setting we create for our students. As a growing and dynamic institution, we continue to seek ways to attract students who seek a quality educa- tion through active, engaged learning inside and outside the classroom. Research, metrics, and 3D puzzle play from our students, faculty, staff, Board of Trustees, and alumni were used to create this updated Campus Master Plan. With UNA’s mission and values in mind, the updated plan creates new possibilities for personal growth and inspiration for our students by addressing the value of place in experiential education. Campus facilities need to allow for growth of the curriculum through academic initiatives and an opportunity to increase our retention to better serve our students’ academic and residential needs. The Board of Trustees approved this updated Campus Master Plan at its summer meeting in June 2019. The Plan outlines UNA’s bold commitment to student suc- cess by delivering an approach to campus development that is reflective of our beautiful location, the nature of experiential learning, and the need to invest in our infrastructure to deliver our brand promise. The campus community will work to ensure that the University of North Alabama stays relevant for all of those students who need, deserve, and benefit from the highly personalized education offered here. I am confident that this 2019 Campus Master Plan will set the scene for our future growth and development and that it will help to clearly define a path to success for our current and future students.

Florence Muscle Shoals Sheffi eld Tuscumbia The Handy Home Wilson Dam Ritz Theater Ivy Green The AHA’s 2008 annual meeting will be held in The Shoals. Registration and lodging information is located on page 17 and 18. The Shoals Community By Milly Wright our towns form the community known as “The Shoals:” Florence, Muscle Shoals, Sheffi eld, and FTuscumbia. Tuscumbia, Sheffi eld, and Muscle Shoals are on the south side of the Tennessee River in Colbert County, and Florence is on the north side in Lau- derdale County. Tuscumbia was settled around 1817 when Michael Dickson came from Tennessee to live near the big spring. A few dwellings, a mill and a store were soon built. The town grew rapidly due to the fact that Jackson’s Military Road was routed through it, and that it had easy access to the river by means of a creek that fl owed from the power- ful spring. In March of 1820 Gen. John Coffee published a “Plan of a Town at the Coldwater Spring” with a cen- tral business and residential district surrounded by a wide commons area. The town was incorporated in December of that year as Ococoposo, or Cold Water. In 1821 the name was changed to Big Spring, and in 1822 it became Tuscumbia, in honor of a Chickasaw chief. Peter Wier, in an 1823 letter, stated, “We have fi ve dry goods stores and some grocery merchants, mechan- ics of almost every description, and will in all probability have a printing press shortly.
