student history-target1.jpeg

2013  - Self Authored.  This plan projects the space needs for the University of Oregon campus according to four growth scenarios. Using historic data targets for square foot per student are set for 12 separate functional areas.  These targets are used to predict the space needed in each of the growth scenarios.  The space needs are translated into possible buildings which fit into the policies of the Campus Plan.  This allows a cost to be set for each scenario. The plan allows leaders to make decisions about the financial requirements and practical feasibility of expanding the campus' capacity.
