CAMPUS MASTER PLAN, 2005-2015 DATA & ANALYSIS
Significant improvements in campus mapping and analysis capabilities occurred during the
period from 2002-2005 enabling more accurate measurements to be made. These improvements
have been fully employed for the 2005-2015 campus master plan, and may account for some
fluctuation in the land use category acreages described. Prior to these data management
improvements, the 1995-2005 Campus Master Plan inconsistently measured water bodies such
that approximately 20 acres were double-counted and included in the Conservation land use
coverage. None of the acreages from the 1995-2005 and 2000-2010 campus master plans include
the approximately 46 acres occupied by campus roadways or an additional 184 acres +/- covered
by water bodies. Beginning with the 2005-2015 campus master plan, all water bodies are
included in the Conservation land use coverage and are calculated as such. Despite these data
discrepancies, the range of acreages is still reasonably consistent and a view of the map
chronology provides insight into the minimal changes that have been made through amendments
to future land use designations.
A. 1995-2005 Adopted Future Land Use
The Future Land Use designations are an expression of the preferred use for campus lands. These
uses may be different than the current use of the land. Also, the future recommended uses may
change based on new information or changing external or internal needs. When the
recommended Future Land Use is changed, it must be formalized through an amendment to the
campus master plan. The 1995-2005 Future Land Use designations are those recommended at the
time the campus master plan for 1995 to 2005 was adopted. The 2000-2010 Future Land Use
designations are those recommended when the 2000-2010 campus master plan was adopted, and
following a series of amendments through 2004. Data are tracked separately for the main campus
and the satellite properties.

approximately 20 acres of water bodies to be incorrectly included in the Conservation land use coverage.
