At the September 27, 2000, Board of Regents meeting the Board approved a comprehensive Master Plan which will be the University's blueprint for the next 23 years.  NBBJ of Columbus, Ohio, led the master planning effort.  The final document outlines in both narrative and graphic forms the future of the campus.   NKU's compact campus has a unique identity and a solid foundation for creation of a memorable campus environment.  The comprehensive nature of the Master Plan is intended to clearly identify development actions necessary to preserve the growth potential of the campus.  The Plan speaks of a near to mid-term implementation phase as well as a long-term implementation phase.  The identified campus enhancements are consistent with creation of a campus environment that is welcoming, inviting and learner-centered.  Back to top of page
