CYCLE OF RENEWAL The Campus Master Plan recommends an ongoing cycle of renewal strategy in order to, over time, replace outdated or poorly functioning facilities with new efficient housing within walking distance to campus that meet the previously stated faculty housing goals. This strategy takes an incremental approach that allows facilities to remain occupied as needed and then replaced when they become vacant. Paired with the new facilities as proposed to strengthen existing neighborhoods, the strategy seeks to align the housing stock to evolving faculty needs in a continual and ongoing way. The academy’s Land Policy Group is creating specific recommendations for the specific properties of the campus’s land holdings which will inform the implementation of the cycle of renewal, enabling a right-sizing of the campus. The factors considered include location, condition, maintenance, marketability, and desirability to faculty.

“Enhancing the presence of neighborhoods on campus will play a vital role in building community and by doing so in an environmentally sound manner, we model wise decision making for our students.” Patrick Farrell Dean of Faculty and Mathematics Instructor
SUSTAINABILITY IN FACULTY HOUSING The incremental replacement of outdated facilities will address life cycle issues of the housing stock as needed. The Campus Master Plan recommends strategic adaptive reuse for improved faculty housing as well as the strategic construction of new facilities. New facilities are envisioned as sideby-side duplexes that share resources, such as a driveway and open space creating efficiency in the system. In addition, the construction of these houses is an opportunity for high performance standards for material usage, energy efficiency, building systems, siting, and indoor air quality, and others. Strategies could include incentivizing energy conservation, recycling and composting programs, and low-no irrigation programs.
