About the Master Plan

The strategic master plan will capture Dartmouth's unique sense of place and identity and express the campus community's shared vision for its future, including how the physical design of the campus serves the college's mission and academic objectives.

The master plan is both a process and a product. The process can inform projects and initiatives already in progress, and create a broader perspective and forum for ongoing decision-making, community input, communications, and implementation. The product will be a flexible roadmap that Dartmouth will continuously refer to for its sustainable development and preservation of the campus.

The strategic master plan will:

• be a process to engage the campus community;
• develop a common language with which to discuss opportunities;
• create a catalogue of options; and
• provide a flexible framework to evaluate options and align short- and long-term physical planning.
