analysis
• Building Sites - With the demolition of some facilities
and reconfiguration of parking areas, locations
for future building sites will be available on the
existing campus. For example, the demolition of
the “T” buildings could provide prime building
sites, and the area south of the Technology Center
could provide a future building site. Additional
properties along the west side of University Drive
could be acquired for parking expansions or building
sites.
• Utilities/Infrastructure - The scope of this project
did not include an analysis of utilities and infrastructure.
However, LIT is connected to Lamar
University’s electrical grid and infrastructure.
The planning team worked closely with the facilities’
staff to understand deferred maintenance
issues. Currently, there are no critical deferred
maintenance items, but approximately $600,000
in non-critical deferred maintenance items. The
non-critical maintenance items can be diminished
or eliminated if master plan recommendations are
implemented.
• Student Services - Student services are currently
spread out and under-sized to accommodate enrollment.
A new Student Center/Learning Support
building (one-stop shop) should be considered
allowing existing space to be freed for academic
expansion.
A few of the existing conditions have been entered into
an analysis map on the next page along with general
observations.
Opportunities for new building sites exist on campus
Surface parking is a non-critical deferred maintenance item
