Master Planning Process
During the creation of the Ten-Year Master Plan, West Virginia University has followed the campus development
planning process outlined in Series 12 of the Title 133 Procedural Rule of the West Virginia
Higher Education Policy Commission. This process requires that each campus develop a campus plan every
ten years. The last Ten-Year Master Plan was completed in 1996 for the Morgantown campuses, and this
plan centers on the WVU main campus. Since Potomac State College (PSC) and West Virginia University
Institute of Technology (WVU Tech) Master Plans were updated in 2002 and Parkersburg was updated
in 2003, WVU did not include their plans into this document; however, their plans were considered when
identifying certain projects on the regional campuses. Future master planning documents will include PSC
and WVU Tech, the new WVU divisions. The Health Sciences Center, Jackson’s Mill, and Parkersburg
will also be included in the updated plan that will be completed in 2009.

Those on the Master Plan Committee were involved because of their familiarity with campus needs. The
process was an in-house effort requiring numerous reviews and revisions over a nine-month period. The
plan has been shared with the leadership of the Student Government Association, major administrators,
Deans Council, Classified Staff Council, and the Senate Executive Committee. The plan was made available
for public comment and changes were incorporated. The Board of Governors approved the plan on
February 9, 2007. The Higher Education Policy Commission approved the plan on April 26, 2007.
