CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — The campus community and members of the broader public will be briefed in two public forums on the ongoing design updates to the Urbana campus master plan. The meetings each will be open to both the campus community and the general public.

An interactive website provides information on the process and allows visitors to provide feedback to questions, post comments and photos, or sign up for project updates. The 18-month process began in January 2016 and is scheduled to wrap up in mid-2017.

As stated on the website: “The goal of the Campus Master Plan Update is to create a plan that provides a campus environment that supports our learning, discovery and outreach missions while serving as an example of sustainability and enriching our diverse communities and neighborhoods.”

Individuals who need disability-related accomodations in order to participate in this event should email campusmastplan@mx.uillinois.edu. Early requests are strongly encouraged to allow sufficient time for meeting access needs.
