Master Plan Subcommittee Vision
The Master Plan will develop a physical blueprint for UMass Boston that optimally reflects and supports the strategic priorities and goals developed and recommended by the Chancellor’s Strategic Planning Task Force. The physical environment will be renewed and rebuilt to meet the needs of students, faculty, and staff as they contribute to the University’s leadership in public higher education and research in the twenty-first century while pursuing its urban mission. The re-centering and reorganizing of campus space will result in a more vibrant and engaging University life. State of the art facilities will inspire and connect our students, faculty, and staff with the University’s local, national and global communities and serve to bolster ties with our surrounding neighbors.
