The Master Plan

The Master Planning process is a guide, or blueprint, for the development of facilities and land use at the college over the next 20 years. USNH policies direct each campus to complete an update of its existing Master Plan every ten years.

Keene State College President Stanley Yarosewick has charged the College’s Facilities Planning Advisory Committee and its chairperson, Jay Kahn, Vice President for Finance and Planning, to undertake the updating of the Master Plan as its primary task for this year.

As a first step the committee recommended master planning specialists, The Saratoga Associates, to provide professional assistance through the review process.

The Master Planning schedule covers the entire 2003-2004 academic year, with particular reports being delivered along this time period. You can view the schedule below. Facilities Planning Advisory Committee (FPAC) membership has been expanded to ensure broad representation into the outcomes of the planning process. Membership is shown in an attached page.

Each FPAC planning session includes presentations from our consultants and KSC staff. This site will be updated to share these presentations with the campus community. You can also check this site for announcements of coming events.
