Message from the president
In an ongoing process that has involved thousands of interviews with students, faculty, staff and administrators, guiding principles for campus growth have been shaped and various scenarios envisioned.

Man with the (master) plan
University architect Danny Sniff has been closely involved with development of the university’s new Physical Master Plan since assuming his current position in January 1997. Sniff talked with Columns about the development of the plan, which will guide physical growth of the campus to accommodate eventual enrollment of 35,000 students with associated faculty and staff. (Columns)
Looking to the future
Proposed physical master plan aims for a green and vehicle-free campus accommodating 35,000 students.
Latest campus master plan is not the first
You can’t know where you’re going if you don’t know where you’ve been. So when it was time to draft a physical master plan to accommodate expected enrollment growth over the next five to 10 years, planners first took a look at how the campus had developed to date.
Comments on the proposed master plan
The Office of University Architects distributed and collected comment cards during the public meeting of Nov. 12. Here's a representative sampling of the anonymous comments received so far.
Guiding Principles of the plan
These are the nine guidelines for the UGA master plan.
Applying the principles
This map shows one possible scenario for UGA’s future development.

The consultants: Ayers/Saint/Gross
Adam Gross's firm designs green space for people and gets cars out of the way. (Chronicle of Higher Education, Nov. 1998)
What others have done
This is a look at other university plans, including the University of Virginia and Ayers/Saint/Gross projects at Emory University and Ohio State University.
Why can't the rest of campus look like this?
It can, say campus planners, who have re-imagined what UGA would be like if the essential tenets of North Campus—classic architecture and green quadrangles—could be applied throughout the University's 600 acres. (Georgia Magazine)
UGA's Master Plan
In an ongoing process that has involved thousands of interviews with students, faculty, staff and administrators, guiding principles for campus growth have been shaped and various scenarios envisioned.

Live and learn
UGA has embarked on a $60 million plan to modernize its residence halls and give students something they can't get at off-campus apartments: a sense of community.

Paving the way
Proposed physical master plan aims for a green and vehicle-free campus accommodating 35,000 students.

It takes a village...

As part of a plan to dramatically expand and improve on-campus housing facilities over the next decade, the University of Georgia Real Estate Foundation is overseeing the construction of four new residence halls on East Campus, in the vicinity of the Ramsey Student Center.

Preserving the future
In 1902, Chancellor Walter Hill took a train load of faculty to Madison, Wis., to get a look at the University of Wisconsin's new ag school. From that trip came the University of Georgia's first master plan. To oversee the project, Hill hired New York landscape architect Charles Leavitt, whose vision for the first half of the 20th century was unveiled in 1905 at a ceremony in the Chapel. Preserving that legacy will be UGA's architectural direction for the first third of the 21st century.
