The planning process began in late January 2016 with extensive data collection and analysis. An outside facilitator then worked with the Campus Master Planning Committee to identify future anticipated facility needs, new or expanded programs that might require space, the arrival experience, strategic land use, future residential needs and improvements and upgrades to existing facilities. You can learn more about this process and the planning committee at: http://www.vwc.edu/about-us/
A space-utilization study has been completed, a corrective maintenance plan has been drafted, and a 10-year Campus Master Plan is on track for completion in February. Thank you to our anonymous donor for funding this critical function, and thanks also to Comprehensive Facilities Planning, Inc., of Columbus, Ohio, Aramark Engineering Solutions of Philadelphia, Derck & Edson of Lititz, Pennsylvania, and the Campus Master Planning Committee for their hard work on this crucial project.
The next phase in the process will be the initiation and formulation of a new comprehensive strategic master plan in mid-spring, including a new vision statement. I value your continued input as we work collaboratively to develop plans for our foreseeable future and will share the final document when it is available.
