  • Board of Trustees in February 2011
    ILLINOIS STATE UNIVERSITY OARD OF B TRUSTEES Report No. 2019.07/1100.01 Campus Master Plan Update Executive Summary Illinois State University values strategic planning. Its culture is infiltrated with plans stemming from all facets of the institution, all integrated with the University’s strategic plan, Educate•Connect•Elevate: Illinois State—The Strategic Plan for Illinois’ First Public University 2018-2023. The current campus master plan, Master Plan 2010- 2030: Looking to the Future, was approved by the Board of Trustees in February 2011. It reflects a long-range plan for the physical development of Illinois State University in its future size, form, function, character, image, and environment. Master Plan 2010-2030 includes 67 recommended actions spanning from instruction, research, and academic support; campus life; administration; Intercollegiate Athletics and recreation facilities; and general campus improvements. Many actions have advanced and are noted in the Master Plan 2010-2030 Progress Report section of the Master Plan Update 2010- 2030. Master Plan 2010-2030 called for a 10-year review and update in order to reflect the current campus, the State of Illinois, and overall higher education environments. In September 2018, President Larry Dietz appointed and charged the Master Plan Update Steering Team to develop an update to the Master Plan 2010-2030: Looking to the Future that considers the realities of operating as a public university in the State of Illinois in lean financial times. The Master Plan Update Steering Team consulted widely with students, faculty, staff, alumni, community members, and annuitants to assist in determining strategic focus areas that include current and new recommended actions that reflect the University’s priorities for the duration of the life of Master Plan 2010-2030.
