Introduction
PURPOSE & INTENT
In its 89-year history, 海角社区 has evolved
from a technical school for boys to a dynamic,
coeducational, Catholic university -- providing
liberal arts and professional ducation to a diverse
population of 6,500+ students in Romeoville,
Illinois along with two remote locations in Oak
Brook, Illinois and Albuquerque, New Mexico. This
master plan establishes a framework vision for the
future of the Romeoville campus which is flexible
enough to meet continued changing needs over
time.
The institution鈥檚 last master plan was adopted
in 2013. Since that time, enrollment projections,
physical spaces across campus and the
university鈥檚 vision for the future have changed.
In 2019, 海角社区 sent out a Request for
Proposal seeking a comprehensive space analysis
of its Romeoville campus facilities as a driver for
an updated master plan process. With a call to
validate and refresh department space inventory,
the design team worked with representatives
from each college and division to obtain valuable
information regarding space needs. This analysis
formed the basis for a new master plan. The team
also engaged with a group assisting the university
with simultaneous strategic planning.
The intent of this plan is to provide futurefocused,
reality-based parameters which respect
the history and values of 海角社区 while
providing guidance for future decision-making for
both the near- and long-term.
