To determine the FAR for major campus areas, lot lines were drawn to include land associated with each building, including circulation and common areas.The results are shown on the accompanying diagram (left)

Generally speaking, areaswitha FARofless than 1.0 typically do not use their parcels efficiently Thediagramontheleftillustrates thattheapproximateoverallcampusdensity islow (.75).

The existing University density figures suggest that some additional densification ofthecampusispossiblewhileretainingthe character of the campus landscape. The low existingdensitiesshownsuggestthatoverall, the"triangle" is capable ofreceivingslightly higher densities in the future.With proper planning, densitiescloserto 1.0 throughout thecampuscanbeachievedsuccessfully

Reaching a FAR as close to 1.0 as possible, in combination with a building height maximum, will ensure that the campus achieves efficientdensitywhile maintaining itsresidentialcharacter.

Campus Grounds - Pedestrian Circulation

Pedestrian connections from the Mid-Town Square and areas east of campus are also generally poor. There are insufficient pedestrian crossings along South Main Street, and those that do exist are improperly designed. Furthermore, there are no directaccesspointsfromtheMid-TownSquaretocampus. Due to a lack ofsuitable crossings, students tend to use the Bank ofAmerica's drive-through facility to cut across South Main Street toVenable Street from theMid-Town Square. However, Venable Street itself constitutes a barrier - pedestrians are either forced to walk to Madison Street or use a gate and walk through the tennis courts on their way to the main campus. Commuters who park in Vernon Street and Landings South parking lots not only have to dealwith severe upward grading when walking to campus on Putney Street, but also with misaligned crosswalks at the intersection of South Main and Redford Streets. Presently these crossings do not line up with curbs or offer the shortest crossing distance. Within campus, on the eastern side, Spruce Street traffic and parking cause safetyconcernsdueto alargenumberofpedestrians comingin and out ofCurry/Frazer Halls. Residents ofthehalls must also navigate through extensive vehicle traffic while crossing East Redford Street on their way to the northern end of campus. This path, in front oftheundergroundgarage,does not provide a dedicated, safe or convenient crosswalk for pedestrians.

Pedestrian connections from the western side of campus are generally inadequate. Griffin Street lacks a sufficient number ofsafe pedestrian crossings and sidewalks around most ofits western edge. The corner ofHigh Street and Griffin Boulevard is not designedwithpedestriansinmind. Currently,vehicles use the southeastern curb ofthe intersection as a shortcut, where pedestrians should be waiting to cross the street. A physical barrier is needed to prevent the vehicles from doing so. Lastly, the stop sign at the intersection ofRace and Redford Streets is often blocked byparkedvehicles along the eastern side ofRace Street, endangering pedestrians and motorists alike.

Pedestrianaccess to thecampus fromthe south is also generally poor, although pedestrian activity in the area is currently relatively low. South Main Street has sidewalks on both sides ofthestreet, but pedestrian crossings are few and far between. GriffinBoulevardlackssidewalksonitswesternedgefromnorth

ofChambers Street to the South Main Street intersection, and there are no sidewalks along the eastern side ofGriffin Boulevard from Barrow Street to South Main Street. Thus, students walking to Southgate Shopping Center are forced to eitherwalk on the side ofthe road or cut across the ball fields to get to the shopping center. As the southern part ofcampus continues to

Campus Infrastructure - Potable Water, StormWater, and Sanitary SewerLines

One major purpose of a campus master plan is to identify potential utility issues surroundingfutureconstructionprojectsor other physical changes. The project team reviewedtheavailableinformationfromboth theuniversityandthetownofFarmvilleon thecampuspotablewater,stormwater,and sanitarysewersystems. Whiletheseutility systemsappeartohaveadequatecapacityfor current use, certain sections contain pipes smallerthanwhatisgenerallyconsideredto bethepresentdayminimumdiameter(eight inchesforwaterandsewermains).

Current building designs minimize water consumptionandthereforesewagegeneration asmuchaspossible. Nevertheless,utilitiesat thesiteofeachnewprojectshouldbeverified andevaluatedspecificallyfortheanticipated loadofthatproject,particularlyfortheflow offire protection water. The university's potablewatersystemhasnotbeenmodeled sufficientlytoallowacompletecomputation offuturedemands. However,certainsections arenotasrobustastheycouldbe.

AN INTRODUCTION TO SCHEY

The State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) is the Commonwealth's coordinating body for higher education. SCHEV was established by the Governor and General Assembly in 1956. Then as now, their mission, which is outlined in the Code of Virginia, is "to promote the development of an educationally and economically sound, vigorous , progressive, and coordinated system of higher education" in Virginia.

To fulfill their mission, SCHEV makes higher education public policy recommendations to the Governor and General Assembly in such areas as capital and operating budget planning, enrollment projections, institutional technology needs, and student financial aid. SCHEV administers a variety of educational programs that benefit students, faculty, parents, and taxpayers. SCHEV serves as a catalyst to promote greater access, quality, affordability, and accountability throughout the system. SCHEV also helps policy makers, college administrators, and other concerned leaders work cooperatively and constructively to advance educational excellence.

REMOVINGTHECARSFROMCAMPUS

During discussion forums with students, faculty, and staff, a large majority of participants expressed a strong desire to remove cars from the main campus in the future Therefore, Longwood will move toward a car-free campus, with the exception of dedicated service and emergencyvehiclecorridors

SERVICECORRIDORS

Longwoodoperates nearly40 golf carts that are used on the main campus for personnel and equipmenttransport, grounds maintenance, andfacilities repair. Provision mustbe madefor efficient routes for these vehicles so the requisite service can be provided without detracting fromthepedestriannatureofthecampus

Future Student HousingRequirements

60% of5600 undergraduate students in university-controlled housing = 3360

HousingRequirements

A complete inventory and evaluation of student housing facilities was conducted Current and future preferences and guidelines were considered, andthe2007campusFacilitiesCorn;litionIndexReportwas reviewed. The Facilities Condition Index Report listed all three of the Cunningham residence halls and French Hallin the "poor" category"inneedofmajor maintenanceand/orrepair

Many students, faculty, and alumni voiced a desire to renovate the Cunningham halls. These buildings were constructed in 1928, 1938, and1958.Allthreehaveprovidedcontinuityandevokedastrongsense ofnostalgiainthestudentbodythroughoutthe20thcentury However, the cost of retaining and renovating these buildings was judged to be excessive, andthechoicewasmadetoexploreotherusesforthesite

Curry and Frazer high-rise residence halls are in the "fair" condition category. Discussions with various Longwood and community groups revealedconflictingopinionsaboutthesebuildings. Somestudentsand alumniexpressedastrongsenseofaffiliationforthe"community"aspect ofthese buildings, andbelievedthat living there contributedpositively totheir college experience. Other members of the university andlocal community found the buildings to be unsightly and.out of scale to the rest of campus. The eventual decision to retain them for housing was based on the cost and lack of campusland on which to construct replacements.

Infall2008, nearly 80% ofLongwood'sundergraduatestudentslivedin either the on-campus residence halls or off-campusuniversity-managed apartments The university's StudentAffairs organization set the 2020 goal for student housing as 60% of undergraduate students residing in university-controlled housing, with 2000 in on-campus residence halls.

This section identifies issues and presents alternatives and recommendations about traffic circulation and parking. The recommendations also include improvements to associated pedestrianfacilitiesateachlocation.

IANCERPARK

Issue

• AccesstoLancerParkisdifficult

• Planned student recreation facilities at Lancer Park will increase the need for safe and convenient pedestrian connectionstocampus.

OptionA

• Construct two separate bridges connecting Lancer Park with the surrounding area. The first would be vehicular and connect to Third Street, while the other would be a bicycle/ pedestrianbridgeconnectingLancerParktoGroveStreet.

Advantages

Provides a convenient and safe pedestrian connection between campus and Lancer Park by the shortest and most directroute.

Providesquickershuttlebusconnectivitybetweencampus andLancer Park.

Supports the concept of a park-and-ride lot at Lancer Park.

Separates pedestrians and bicyclists from vehicles, thus providingoptimaltrafficsafety.

Disadvantages

• MorecostlyandcomplexthatOptionB.

Requires that pedestrian and bicycle routes be improved alongacontinuousroutefromthebridgestocampus Bicycle route signage shouldbe installedalongGrove, Buffalo, Oak, andAppomattoxstreets;pedestriancrossingsshouldbeclearly markedatintersections;andsidewalksandlightingshouldbe improvedasnecessary.

• Eliminates directvehicle access toWillett, Curry, Frazer, andHullHalls.

Removes40parkingspacesfromSpruceStreet.

OptionC

• KeepSpruce Street opentogeneralvehiculartraffic and construct a turn-around traffic circle at its south end, at the intersectionwith Hull Promenade, ofsufficient size to accommodate intermediate semitrailers and transit busses. However, thisoptionisnotpossiblebecauseatrafficcircle largeenoughtomeettheturningrequirementswillnotfit intheavailablespaceatthesouthernendofSpruceStreet. Therefore,thisoptionwasnotconsidered.

GRIFFINBOULEVARDIMPROVEMENTS

DesignIssues

Griffin Boulevard defines the main western boundary ofthe campus, but does not project a clear or strong Longwood identity. It is a public two-lane street with a curb-to-curb width of42 feet (see imagesat right). The average 2006 dailytrafficvolumewas 5,800, andthepostedspeedlimitis 30 mph. Thereisnoon-streetparkingallowedoneithersideofthenorthernsectionofthestreet.

WhileGriffinBoulevardconstitutesacampusedge,itisalsoaninternalpartofthecampus.Itprovides several major vehicular and pedestrian entry points to the campus, and two major campus parking lots are located across this street from campus. Residential neighbors adjacent to Griffin Boulevard generate significant pedestrian traffic, since many faculty staff, and students reside there, within walkingdistance ofcampus. However, sidewalksarepresent onlyalongthe easternsideofthe street.

Pedestrian crossingsare few in number and are notADA compliant, and there are nobicycle route markings.

PEDESTRIANPLAN

An important component of the master plan is to enhance and improvetheexistingcomprehensivepedestriannetworkoncampus, andtoexpandthecar-freepedestrianzone. Campusstreetsshould be designedwith pedestrians in mind, rather than motor vehicles alone. Sidewalks and paths on campus should have no missing linksorevidentconflictpointswithvehicles.Intersectioncrossings should beeasy to cross andsafe to use. Pedestrian amenities, such as benches, shade trees, and properly scaled lighting should be plentiful. Connections to campus from nearby neighborhoods, as well as connections to crucial off-campus sites, should be well establishedandcomplete.

Theenlargementofthepedestrianareaonmaincampus, asshown in Figure # 54, would substantially increase primary pedestrian corridors in the future. Extending Brock Commons will result�-=Expandeestrian

-PrimaryPedestrianPat _,SecondaryPedestrian Figure# 54, Proposed Pedestrian Pathsand Zones . in more pedestrian activity in the southern end of campus. The new promenade connecting Brock Commons to Venable Streetandfurther to Mid-Town Square would fill in the missing link in the primary westeast pedestrian corridor on campus. The proposed internal street closures would increase pedestrian activity and create two additional north-south primary pedestrian corridors: the first one extending from Jarman Hall to Bedford Hall (mostly following former Race Street), and the second one from Ruffner Hall to the Health and Fitness Center (following former Spruce Street).

The addition of the Convocation Center at LongwoodUniversityComprehensiveCampusMasterPlan September2008

the southern end of campus would also increase pedestrian traffic along Wynne Drive. Proposed future primary and secondary corridors are also shown in Figure # 54. Creating a campus environment that is more walkablewillrequirepedestrian improvements. These areshowninFigure #55 anddiscussedinmoredetailbelow.

Intermsofpedestrian improvements, Longwood shouldconsidermaking thefollowingimprovements:

ImplementthestreetimprovementslistedunderVehicularCirculation, including pedestrian safety improvements on High Street, South Main Street, andGriffinBoulevard

Install flashing crosswalks along the campus portion of South Main Street, HighStreet, andGriffin Boulevard.

Install brick crosswalks of uniform design at all pedestrian crossings on all internal campus andtown streets bordering the campus - typical designsareshownin theimagesbelow.

Where not currently installed, add pedestrian-activated signalized crossingsatallmajorintersections.

• Fill in missing links in the campus sidewalk system. Specifically, constructnewsidewalksatthefollowinglocations:

-Across East Redford Street between Spruce Street and the Dining Hall.

•AcrossGriffinBoulevardbetweencampusandtheCoxandWheeler parkinglots.

Alternatively,acrossingtableatgradecouldworkjustaswellatthislocation. Itis importantto make this crossingas safe forpedestriansas possibledue to the high number of anticipated pedestrian and motor vehicle conflicts at this location (due to extending Brock Commons, and the proposed Convocation Center). Crossingtablesdifferfrom raisedcrosswalks in that theyare wider and can accommodate a larger number of pedestrians.

A variation of multi-use pathways is shown in the images below. This is a 14-foot wide concrete off-street pathway that can also accommodate pedestrians, bicycles, andgolfcarts. Golfcartscanusethesamesectionof thepathasbicycles.

• Install pedestrian-scale lighting on all internal campus streets and all streets bordering campus (South Main Street, Venable Street, Griffin Boulevard, andHighStreet).

• The following pedestrian safety/traffic calming tools can be used in various combinations at any location where deemed necessary and appropriate.

PARKINGDEMANDREDUCTION

The traditional approach to parking management has been to meet the demandbyofferingsufficientsupply. Addingparkinghasbeentheanswer to growth experiencedby campuses.However, this approach is no longer thepreferredone,andmoreuniversitiesaremovingtowardaphilosophyof reducing parkingdemand.LongwoodUniversityhastheaddedlimitation of itsconstrainedspacethatcouldbeutilizedforavarietyof institutional usesratherthanparking. Inaddition, inlinewithLongwoodUniversity's sustainability initiative, it is crucial to recognize that increased parking supply conflicts with efforts to reduce driving and promote alternative modesoftransportation.

Notwithstandingsustainabilityefforts, financing futureparking needs is a probleminitself. Thecostqfconstructingoneparkingdeckspaceisatleast $15,000 (includingcontingency and bond issue costs). The total annual costtocoverthe debtserviceandto operate and maintaina parkingdeck isapproximately $1,500 per space annually Assumingannual revenue of $250perspacereducesthenetannualcostto$1,250. Constructingdecks tomeettheprojectedfutureparkingshortfallofnearly1,800spaceswould cost $27 million in today's dollars, and parking permit fees might have to be raised Given higher parking fees, some people will find alternate parkingoptionsortravelmodes.

OVERALLPARKINGPOLICY

In the long-term, as LongwoodUniversity grows and campus density increases,anoverallpolicyrelatedtoparkingandtransportationshould be adopted. Although providing adequate and convenient parking willbenecessaryin the future, thatgoal shouldnotbeattainedatthe expense of limiting open space, compromising pedestrian safety, or harmingLongwood'shistoriccharacter. Theelementsoftheproposed parkingstrategicpolicyareasfollows:

Minimizetheneedforconstructingadditionalparking facilitiesoncampusthroughTransportationDemand Managementstrategies (TDM)

•Locateadditionalfutureparkingonthecampus'periphery.

•Avoidconstructingsurfaceparkinglotswithinthemain campuscorearea.

On-campusparkingshouldbemanagedinaccordancewithahierarchy ofneeds:

•Handicappedandservicespacesshouldhavethehighest priority, sincetheyneedtobeclosesttobuildingandfacility entrances.

•Short-durationparking,includingvisitorparking, should havethenextpriority,reflectingthenecessity tosupportshortdurationvisits Priorityparkingforcarpoolersandvanpoolers shouldalsobeinthiscategory

•Faculty/staffandcommuterstudentparkingshouldhavethe nextpriority.

•Residentstudentparkingshouldhavethelowestpriority, sinceresidentstudentsgenerallyusetheircarslessfrequently thandailycommuters.

Theseparkingpolicieswill support theconceptof converting surface parking lots and some streets to pedestrian and open space, further enhancingtheappearanceofthecampusandtheeducationalexperience of Longwood's students. As these changes occur, special attention must be given to pedestrian walkways connecting the remaining or new parking facilities to all parts of the campus. Sufficient lighting,

emergency phone boxes, security patrols, convenient routing, and maximum visibility are some of the traits of a successful campus walkway.

ZONEBASEDPARKINGSYSTEM

ItisrecommendedthatLongwoodconsiderchangingatleastsome of its parking allocation from a category-based system to a zone-based system. This change could allow more parking options at differing pricelevels, andwould reducetheneedfor driverstohunt forspaces acrosstheentirecampus.

Parking in zones could still be split between resident students and commuters, and further delineated into open and reserved spaces. Under this concept, a premium rate should be charged for spaces closertothecampuscore. Currently, aparkingpermitcoststhesame whetheracommuterparksin thecampuscoreorin the farsouthern portionofcampus,eventhoughthedrivers'desireforremotespacesis muchlessthanforcorecampus spaces. Under the proposed system, apermit forareaslocatedfurther awayfromthe campuscorewould remainatthecurrentcost,whilethecostofpermitsforparkinginthe campuscorewouldincrease. A zone-basedsystemis expectedto not only better distribute parking demand, but also increase revenue in the future. Longwoodshould alsoconsiderincrementallyincreasing parking permit costs to cover the actual costs of the parking system, including the cost of constructing, operating, and maintaining new parkingareas.

ADAACCESSIBILITYANDHANDICAPPEDPARKING

Asparkingisremovedfrom thecampuscore, sufficientparking must be maintained in the core area for handicapped people and service vehicles. This requirement should constitute a key component of buildingandsurroundingareadesign.

Closure ofinternalcampusstreetswill resultin loss ofsomeparking lots along with any accessible parking spaces assigned to those lots. Federal Regulations mandate that accessible parking spaces serving particularbuildingsshouldbelocated"ontheshortestaccessibleroute oftravel fromadjacent parking toanaccessibleentrance." However,

in those instances wherever a parking lot does not serve a particularbuilding(i.e.JarmanHallwouldnolongerbeserved by theJarman lot because of its removal) "accessible parking shallbe located on theshortestaccessibleroute oftravelto an accessible pedestrianentrance." Thus, accessibleparkingspaces fromremovedparkinglotsshouldbemovedtoanyremaining ornewparkingfacilitynearesttheaffectedbuildings.

OTHERPOLICYRECOMMENDATIONS

Inordertofurtherreducefutureparkingdemandoverthelong term, Longwoodshouldconsideradditionallimitsonwhocan obtainaparkingpermit. Theselimitscouldinvolveprohibiting sophomore students from bringing their cars to campus, and prohibiting students who live within walking distance to campus or FarmvilleArea Bus transit stops from obtaining a permit.Aspreviouslydiscussed, chargingahigherfeeformore convenient parkinglocations, or a lower fee for more remote locations, shouldalsobeconsidered.

Bicycle Plan

EXISTINGANDPROPOSEDCAMPUSBICYCLEFACILITIES

BICYCLELANES,PATHS,ANDROUTES

Currently, there are nosignedbicycle routes or multi-use paths on campus While stripedbicyclelanesare notrecommendedfor campus streets, signed bicycle routes would establish effective travel patterns for bicyclists andimprovetheirvisibility todrivers. Multi-usepaths, on the other hand, provide internal accessibility within campus and provide a more pleasant bicycling experiencewhile getting around Longwood's grounds.

Proposed on-campus facilities areshown in Figure #74 The two main bicycle transportation spines oncampusrun north-south, roughlyalongRace Streeton thewestern sideofcampus andalong the former Spruce Streeton theeasternside. Griffin Boulevardwouldconstituteyetanothermajorbicycleartery,andon-streetbicyclelaneswouldprovideanopportunity formore experienced bicyclists to travel at faster speeds than allowed by the internal multi-use paths. The multi-use paths on campus would be paved, 10- to 14-feetwide, mostwithaseparatelaneforpedestrians anda mixed-uselane forbicyclesandgolfcarts. Aproposedcampusgolfcart circulation systemis shownintheCampusTransportationReport(Appendix, Report2).

BICYCLEPARKING

Thecampusingeneral,andthecampuscoreinparticular,needsmorebicycle parking. Bicycle parking should be provided at the most-used entrances to major campus buildings, including student support and athletic facilities. Longwoodshouldalsoidentifyopportunities for covered bicycle parkingto provideweatherprotectionforbothridersandbicycles. Coveredparkingcan be incorporated into building overhangs, awnings, and breezeways In addition, all future campus parkingdecks andorsurfaces shouldhaveadesignatedandprotectedareaforbicycleparking, allowingpeoplewhocommute tocampusbycartoretrieve theirbicyclesfortravelaroundcampus.

Longwoodshouldalsoadoptstandardsforbicycleparking Currently, there are a variety ofparking racks around campus. One type ofbicycle parking thatis easily recognizable andacceptednationwide, theU-Rack, isshownin theimagein thebelow. This typecanbe ganged at24inch centers, holding twobicycles per each U. The most important design criteria for U-racks is leaving clear access space on both ends Other designs could be explored -notably,manyinstitutionsincorporatemetalartandsculpturestoenhance thelookofthebicycleparkingarea.

AnotherconceptthatLongwoodcouldconsiderissecuredindoorparking. This typeofstoragecouldbeutilizedbystudents, bicyclecommuters, and faculty/staffmember who would rather keep their bicycles stored inside. Anexampleofasecuredindoorparkingisshownintheimagebelow. New buildings couldincorporateshower andlocker facilities toallowbicyclists theoptionofcleaningupaftertravelingtowork. Bicyclestations, providing storage and repair facilities, often supported by a user fee, could be locatedatkeylocationsacrossthecampus

BICYCLEEDUCATIONANDPROMOTION

In addition to making physical improvements, it is also important to increasetheinformationavailabletocurrentandpotentialbicyclists. Longwood should develop and distribute a campus bicycle map. This map shouldshowbicycleroutesonandinthevicinityofthecampus,andshould differentiatebetweenexclusiveandsharedfacilities. Themapsshouldalso indicate where amenities for bicyclists are located, such as bike stations, and information on their use Rules ofthe roadand safety information shouldalsobeincluded. These maps couldbedistributedatinformation kiosks and bike shops near campus This information could be sent to townandcounty offices forinclusion intheirmapsandinformation

Tomeetthefuturestudenthousingrequirements,Longwoodmustconstruct485newbedsoncampus and410bedsinuniversity-managed apartment communities.

The on-campus requirement can bestbe metbyconstructingtwo new residence halls flankingARC Residence Hall (Figures #76 and #78). This configuration will create a new quadrangle, resulting in additional green space and informal gathering places. The two new buildings will be sized to compensate for the loss of lounge and meeting rooms when the Cunningham Residence Halls are demolished.

Two university-managed apartment co�munities can be enlarged to create a total of 410 new offcampusbeds. TheLongwoodVillagecommunityhasthespaceandinfrastructuretosupportadditional buildings. The Lancer Park community will be within easy walking distance of campus after the completion of the new pedestrian bridge acrossWest Third Street. A cost-effective combination of thesetwolocationsisrecommended.

Infrastructure

STEAM

The two boilers in the New Heating Plant totaling 40,000 pounds per hour capacity will be minimally sufficient to support the campus throughthefirstphaseofdevelopment. A third boiler shouldbe installed as soon as possible to handle peak loads and growth. Consideration should be given to adding additional steam generation capacity in the future to provide redundancyandhandleemergentprojects.

COOLING

Air conditioning for ex1stmg buildings is provided by individual systems located within each building The same approach is currently envisioned for new buildings. However, consideration should be given to constructing a central chiller plant and a chilled water distribution system to leverage the efficiency of scale and the operational advantages of central controlandmonitoring.

TELECOMMUNICATIONS

AllfutureinstallationshouldconformtoVirginia Information Technology Agency standards and industrybestpractices.

ELECTRICITY

Longwood's supplier, Virginia Dominion Power, does not foresee any issues in meeting the anticipated growth in campus electrical demand.

POTABLEWATER,SANITARYSEWER, ANDSTORMWATERSYSTEMS

Overall, the municipal potable water and sanitary sewer systems serving the campus are currently adequate However, these services should be carefully assessed in conjunction with each future project, especially regarding the cumulative increase in demand. Adequate waterBowforfireprotectionwillbeofparticular

importance in the future. It is recommended that Longwood develop a campus watersystemmodelthatwill identifypointsoflowflowand/orpressure. Thismodel willprovidebetterunderstandingofthesystem'sfuturelimitations

Each future project will require stormwater control measures Longwood should considerestablishingacampus-widestormwaterplanthatwillevaluatethecumulative effectsoffuturebuildingsandapplycombinedandareasolutions.

PROJECTPHASING

This campus master plan establishes the long term vision for the physical development of the LongwoodUniversitycampustosupportenrollmentgrowthandnewprograms.Toaccomplish this development, Longwood has devised a capital construction plan that follows the CommonwealthofVirginia'scapitalplanningprocess. Underthisprocess,eachstateinstitution mustdevelop andregularlyupdateaplan thatidentifies theinstitution's constructionprojects, priorities, and schedule Longwood will maintain its current capital plan as a supporting documenttothismasterplan.

The recommendation for Longwood's capital planning and construction program is divided into phases that spread the major construction projects over the master plan's horizon. Each phase includes specific physical requirements and opportunities that were identified in the master plan, along with projects from the previous capital construction plan and anticipated renovationsofseveraloldercampusbuildings.
