5.1 DEVELOPMENT PHASING<br />

The campus plan provides a<br />

roadmap that will guide campus<br />

growth during the next phases of<br />

development, investment, and<br />

growth.<br />

Future campus modifications are inevitable, but<br />

should align with the principles and framework<br />

established in this plan. Goals that influenced the<br />

phasing plans include creating a sense of completion<br />

at each phase of development; building compactly<br />

to reduce infrastructure costs and promote student<br />

engagement; prioritizing surface parking over<br />

structured parking in the early phases; and locating<br />

surface parking in permanent locations to the extent<br />

possible. As the campus continues to grow over<br />

time, phasing as described in this section may vary<br />

depending on funding, changing campus needs, and<br />

partnership opportunities.<br />

During the planning process, several projects have<br />

been implemented and are included in the campus<br />

plan. These projects include:<br />

• Runyon Creek Trail<br />

• Secondary entrance off Camp Wisdom Road<br />

• Secondary entrance from University Hills<br />

Boulevard<br />

• Student center, central open space, and the<br />

Hart Amphitheater<br />

The COVID-19 pandemic may also result in<br />

fundamental long-term changes in higher education<br />

delivery. More students may choose online and hybrid<br />

classes, and some faculty and staff may choose to<br />

work remotely. This may impact the need for space on<br />

campus, as well as the types of spaces needed.<br />
