Purpose and Background PURPOSE
IMAGINE 20K VISION
In 2019 the Southern University System Board of Supervisors approved the Southern University and A&M College Strategic Plan—IMAGINE 20K: 20182030. This plan provides direction for how Southern University and A&M College should continue to advance by strategically focusing investments in the areas where the university can have the greatest impact. IMAGINE 20K: 2018-2030 presents ten broad goals to ensure that the university’s academic programs prepare Southern University’s students to meet the workforce needs of a global, 21st century, knowledge-based economy by welcoming the world to the Southern University campus. To accomplish this, IMAGINE 20K includes goals to improve campus life through infrastructural development, increase student enrollment to 20,000 students (10,000 on-campus and 10,000 online students), and expand the university’s footprint throughout the city of Baton Rouge and the state of Louisiana. The strategic plan also includes priorities to support community improvements to meet the needs of local residents, Southern students, and faculty and to build partnerships with the surrounding community to achieve the university’s vision.
To provide access and opportunity to students and matriculate graduates who are equipped to excel in a 21st century, knowledge-based, global economy.
To achieve the goals outlined in IMAGINE 20K, Southern University and the Southern University System Foundation initiated the development of a Southern University Campus Master Plan and Scotlandville Community Strategic Plan in October of 2019. The Campus Master plan implements the recommendations in IMAGINE 20K by focusing on improvements to the physical campus to create even more space for teaching, research, discovery, and learning so that the university has the facilities and resources to continue to contribute new knowledge to the world. The Community Strategic Plan strengthens connections between the University and the Scotlandville community with the goal of creating a vibrant mixed-use university neighborhood that provides housing and services to current and future residents, students, faculty, and staff. The following mission, vision, and core values have guided the development of the Southern University Campus Master Plan.
IMAGINE 20K MISSION To provide a student-focused teaching and learning environment that creates global leadership opportunities for a diverse student population where teaching, research, service, scholarly and creative expectations for students and faculty are achieved through the bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral programs offered at the institution via different instructional modalities and via public service.

Southern University and A&M College | Master Plan | September 2026
Southern University views diversity as vital to the health of any educational enterprise. To support this philosophy, the University takes affirmative steps to maintain a multicultural faculty, staff, and student body. This diversity is achieved principally through assertive recruitment efforts and through multifaceted international programs. The University seeks to recruit and maintain a faculty which through its preparation and scholarly activities exert a profound effect on various institutions in the state, region, nation, and world. Beyond their traditional roles, faculty members perform distinguished services that complement and enhance both teaching and research initiatives and provide an additional mechanism for Southern University to serve the community at large. The University develops and maintains a safe physical environment that is conducive to intellectual growth and development while operating in accordance with the highest standards of fiscal and administrative management. This environment is enhanced through the use of the most recent information technology, which offers the university community access to resources from throughout the world. Southern University and A&M College is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges to award baccalaureate, masters, and doctorate degrees. (Source: IMAGINE 20K)
CAMPUS HISTORY AND EVOLUTION Southern University was chartered in 1880 by the General Assembly of the State of Louisiana following a movement led by several individuals in the 1879 Louisiana State Constitutional Convention to establish “an institution for the education of persons of color.” Southern University opened its campus in New Orleans on March 7, 1881, with twelve students. Just five years later the institution had outgrown its facilities, and in 1892 Southern University and A&M College was recognized by the United States Federal Government as a Land Grant College. In 1914, the campus of Southern University moved from New Orleans to Scott’s Bluff overlooking the Mississippi River in Baton Rouge.
ARCHITECTURAL AND LANDSCAPE DESIGN GUIDELINES To complement the 2021 Master Plan developed for the Southern University Baton Rouge landmass, the Southern University Foundation commissioned Architectural and Landscape Design Guidelines for new buildings and major renovation projects, to ensure seamless integration of new additions on campus. The guidelines focus on building design, materials, open space and landscapes, which aim to unify the campus and enhance Southern University’s identity and brand.

Baton Rouge Landmass Projects
Introduction CAMPUS AND COMMUNITY CONTEXT Regional Connections The main campus of Southern University and A&M College lies on the northern edge of Baton Rouge, along Scott’s Bluff, overlooking the Mississippi River. The campus is regionally well-connected, located three miles from the Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport and five miles from downtown Baton Rouge. The campus is in close proximity to several arterial highways which provide access to the region. Interstate 110 connects to downtown Baton Rouge, Louisiana State University and Interstate 10 and US-190 or Airline Highway also provides regional access. US Highway 61 or Scenic Highway serves as a north-south connector between the campus and the region and Harding Boulevard (LA 408) is an east-west connector between the campus and Interstate 110.

Harding Boulevard and Swan Avenue are the main gateway entrances connecting the campus to the surrounding community. While Harding Boulevard is considered a gateway, it also acts as a physical barrier separating the campus from the community due to the overpass or “hump” at the intersection of Harding Boulevard and Scenic Highway. This presents an opportunity for gateway signage that announces the campus to the community and serves as a “welcome mat” to students and visitors alike.

S MISSIS
Southern University is bordered by the Mississippi River to the west, residential neighborhoods to the north, a mix of residential and some commercial activity to the east along Scenic Highway, and vacant land and heavy industry to the south. The campus is considered part of the adjacent Scotlandville suburb, a community with a 98 percent African American population.
110
Beyond the overpass along Harding Boulevard, there are several private businesses, some of which serve the campus, and some of which do not. This corridor presents immense opportunities to increase campus-community partnerships by transforming this corridor to include housing and campus facilities that can also serve as community amenities. The Southern University System Foundation has already begun this transformation with construction of the Valdry Center for Philanthropy at Southern University and development proposals for the Matthews Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship and the Alumni Center. Opportunities for enhanced campus-community partnerships also exist through development of Southern University and Southern University System Foundation property within Scotlandville and additional student housing in mixed-use residential developments along major corridors (Swan Avenue, Scenic Highway, and Scotland Avenue). These developments can catalyze economic activity in the community and embed Southern University as one of the pillars that support the community.

Building Mass and Style Building massing is determined by both the density of buildings and the size of those buildings. The older campus buildings are primarily low density, with oneand two-story structures. The newer buildings are taller and denser, improving the overall visual interest of the campus by adding variety. The taller structures also help to visually organize the campus by providing focal points in key areas. The densest area of the campus is the instructional core. Since the primary purpose of the campus is instructional, it is natural that the campus’ building massing reflects the importance of this function. The concept of using building height as a organizing feature should be integrated into future development, since taller buildings, if randomly placed, can also disorganize and clutter the landscape. Another important issue is the way in which buildings are placed in relation to each other and to other site features. Site features such as pedestrian paths, view corridors, and focal points can be reinforced by the placement of buildings. The arrangement and positioning of building facades can reinforce campus circulation. Architectural Style. The primary consideration with respect to architectural style is the creation of continuity. Building style should be complementary to create a visually cohesive campus. While all the buildings should not look exactly alike, it is important to maintain some continuity of style. Most of the major existing buildings are flat roofed, brick-veneer structures and are contemporary in style and future development should provide a continuity of architectural style by building upon the existing positive examples.
primary entrance is on Harding Boulevard which connects the campus to I-110 and US 61 (Scenic Highway). Harding Boulevard also contains a grade separated crossing of a rail line. The other two entrances to the campus are located on Swan Avenue and H Street that require an at-grade crossing of a rail line. The entrance on H Street is closed 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM on Monday thru Friday and all day on Saturday and Sunday. The on-campus speed limit is 20 MPH, while the speed limit on Harding is 30 MPH. Three traffic signals are located at Harding Blvd at Elton Harrison Street (maintained by the City of Baton Rouge), Farm Road / H Street at Isabel Herson Street (flashing red), and Swan Avenue at Isabel Herson Street (flashing red). Southern University maintains the traffic signals at Farm Road / H Street at Isabel Herson Street and Swan Avenue at Isabel Herson Street. Two security booths restrict access to the campus—one is located in the middle lane of Harding Boulevard east of F Street providing a checkpoint to the whole campus and the second is in the middle of the intersection of Helen Barron Street at Elton C Harrison Drive, providing a checkpoint to the dormitories on the northern portion of the campus. The wayfinding system on the campus is at a pedestrian scale with very little wayfinding or signage for vehicular traffic.
Most intersections do not have ADA compliant ramps connecting to the sidewalks. Marked pedestrian crossings in the road are not consistent and several locations have sidewalks that terminate and are overgrown with vegetation and have no connection to anything. Bicycle Facilities. There are no bicycle pavement markings or facilities on campus. The paths adjacent to the road are too narrow to accommodate both pedestrians and bicycles. A campus bikeshare program is operated by Gotcha and allows students to rent bicycles by the hour or pay an annual fee. Transit. The Campus Shuttle (Jag Train) is in operation from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday thru Friday during the fall and spring semesters and from 7:00 AM to 2:00 PM in the summer session. CATS operates four bus lines that stop on campus on the west side of T.T. Allain Hall. Students with valid SU identification cards ride for free. The University Police Department operates the Campus Evening Shuttle from 5:00 PM to 1:00 AM, Monday through Friday, when classes are in session. The Campus Evening Shuttle transports students to and from designated stops on the campus and the Palisades Apartments. Students can use an app that will show the shuttle stops on the campus including the Palisades Apartment Complex and the time the shuttle is scheduled to arrive at each stop.
Landscape and Grounds
Vehicular Circulation. There are three points of entry into the campus. The
Pedestrian Circulation. Campus pedestrian facilities vary significantly, with sidewalk widths ranging from two feet to six feet. Some sidewalks are adjacent to the back of the curb, while others contain an offset buffer from the road. Some pedestrian paths provide a direct connection between land uses. For example, the dormitory facility located on the northern portion of the property on Elton C Harrison Drive has a path that connects to the Law Center on Farm Road. This pedestrian path crosses a drainage outfall with a bridge and has a grade separated crossing (i.e. tunnel) under Farm Road.
The campus has native, undisturbed vegetation in the undeveloped ravines and bluffs as well as ornamental plantings, large live oaks, and canopy trees in some of the developed areas. Some areas of the campus lack canopy trees and ornamental landscaping. There is a need for pedestrian level landscaping around and between many of the buildings. In addition, an urban forestry program is needed to protect valuable campus trees and to plant additional street trees that provide shade and improve air quality and the campus image.

PROJECT SUMMARY The College of Agricultural Sciences intends to increase enrollment from 400 to 1,000 in the coming years. This enrollment increase, along with other changes already underway on campus, will create major changes for this program in the coming years. For example the College of Agricultural Sciences’ faculty and administrative offices are currently in the process of being relocated from Fisher Hall to A.O. Williams (A.O. Williams is currently under renovation for this very purpose). Also the College is currently using classrooms and labs inside Fisher Hall, but that building will be renovated into a STEAM building soon (all labs, no classrooms). After the Fisher Hall renovation the College of Agricultural Sciences will still have lab space remaining in Fisher Hall but will need new classroom and updated research spaces. The addition of a 6 acre experimental vineyard, state of the art USDA Meat Labs, and a new Greenhouse & Plant Science complex in addition to the extensive renovation of AO Williams will bring the College of Agricultural Sciences into a new, advance and fertile future benefitting students staff and the greater field of agricultural science.

PROJECT SUMMARY The Athletics program is in need of an indoor practice facility and a substantial new parking garage to handle game day crowds (and students during the week). In addition, the Athletics program needs additional locker rooms for Tennis and Volleyball, additional staff offices and a sports-hall-of-fame museum. The vision for the future is to construct a 2,000-car parking garage on an existing surface lot along Swan Street. This parking garage will feature a rooftop restaurant and terrace facing the stadium and Mississippi River beyond. Directly to the south of this structure will be a firstclass indoor practice facility and separate parking lot along Harding Boulevard. Finally the vision includes an addition to Mumford Stadium that closes in the south end zone. This new Mumford Addition will include a sports hall of fame museum, additional staff offices, locker rooms for Tennis and Volleyball, and rooftop grandstand seating.

Currently the College of Business has 800 students housed in approximately one half of T.T. Allain Hall. The College expects to double its program size to 1,600 students in the next decade, and as a result will need a new building comparable in size to T.T. Allain Hall. Constructing a new building for the College of Business will allow for better academic spaces to be built before the College of Business leaves T.T. Allain Hall, limiting the disruption of classes / operations at the College of Business, Once this new building is complete, the College can move into its new home and T.T. Allain can then undergo renovations, freeing up space for other departments to move in. New College of Business to include; active learning classrooms, larger 40 person classrooms, flex/incubator space, mock stock exchange, administrative and faculty offices, coffee shop/cafe, Fintech learning spaces, and parking nearby.

PROJECT SUMMARY All the current buildings in the College of Humanities and Interdisciplinary Studies are in need of major renovations /upgrades (Stewart Hall, Haynes Hall, T.H. Harris Hall as well as buildings supporting the band and music programs). Additionally the College has spaces spread across campus and is in great need of consolidation. The vision for the College of Humanities and Interdisciplinary Studies is to relocate all non-humanities programs out of the humanities buildings in order to make space for existing and growing needs. Southern University’s band and music programs have also outgrown their current space and require modern facilities to support rehearsal, performance, and instruction. The vision is to create a new 88,000-square-foot Performing Arts Auditorium that will serve as the centerpiece for music and performing arts. The new facility will include a Performance Hall, Ensemble Hall, Large Rehearsal Room that can function as a second band hall, and ample practice rooms and support spaces. The former Bookstore will be repurposed for band storage, providing essential space for instruments and equipment. The Isaac Greggs Band Building will undergo a complete renovation, preserving its legacy while modernizing its infrastructure. Together, these improvements will establish a cohesive, state-of-the-art environment for Southern University’s band and music programs. This project will celebrate the proud tradition of the Human Jukebox while positioning the University for the future of performing arts excellence.

PROJECT SUMMARY Expanding residential housing on the Baton Rouge campus is an urgent priority of the campaign. With Fall 2025 housing at full capacity and a growing waiting list, Southern University requires new facilities to meet student demand, support enrollment growth, and replace aging residence halls demolished in 2013. The new Student Housing project — developed by the Southern Foundation — will deliver two modern residential buildings totaling 854 beds, providing the kind of living-learning environment that today’s students expect. Outcomes Living on campus fosters a sense of belonging, improves retention, provides better access to academic resources, and increases student engagement in campus life. The new Student Housing complex will have a transformative impact on the University’s ability to recruit and retain students. With residential housing already full and a two-year live-on policy under consideration, additional capacity is essential. The project will add 854 beds across two buildings — 502 for first and second-year students and 352 for upper-division students — directly supporting enrollment growth and strengthening the on-campus experience through degree completion. Modern suite-style living, on-site dining, and dedicated common spaces will position Southern University competitively with peer institutions in attracting the best and brightest students beginning Fall 2025. PROJECT DESCRIPTION • The Student Housing project consists of two separate 4-story residential buildings oriented around an enclosed quad with pedestrian walkways, seating areas, and open recreation space. The project will include: • A 121,775 sf First and Second-Year Building with 502 beds in suite-style rooms (two bedrooms sharing one bathroom), a large student lounge with food service seating for 116, a student meeting room with adjacent kitchen, laundry facilities, and a copy/mail room. • A 137,373 sf Upper-Division Building with 352 beds featuring private bedrooms, shared bathrooms at a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio, and individual suite kitchenettes and lounge areas. • An enclosed courtyard quad with pedestrian walkways, planting beds, patios, and open recreation space connecting the two buildings.

PROJECT SUMMARY The Southern Foundation owns the approximately 4,000 square foot building at 7722 Scenic Highway. There is a potential for multiple uses of this building given its size and location, including a fresh food market for students and the community. One of the greatest needs expressed by Southern University students and faculty as well as the community is a grocery store or fresh food market that is easily accessible. Currently, Scotlandville is considered a food desert and residents have to go long distances for fresh food and basic necessities. Providing fresh food to students and residents will promote overall community health for existing residents and increase Scotlandville’s livability and attractiveness to potential new residents.

PROJECT SUMMARY The athletic and recreational needs of Southern University’s Southern Louisiana campus are best served by the development of a brand-new gymnasium facility. The new building will feature a competition gymnasium with spectator seating, multiple cross-courts for practice and intramural sports, and ample storage to support a wide range of activities. A central lobby with ticketing, concessions, and public restrooms will provide an organized entry sequence for game days and events. Dedicated support spaces include men’s and women’s locker rooms, visiting team locker rooms, a referee office, coach’s suite, equipment storage, and custodial and mechanical areas designed for efficient operations. This facility will serve not only intercollegiate athletics but also intramural recreation, health and kinesiology instruction, and broader campus life.

PROJECT SUMMARY This project seeks to address failing infrastructure of the campus. Recurrent leaks plague the campus due to the age and condition of underground piping that is simply beyond its useful life. In addition, surface and subsurface drainage is becoming less and less effective. Again, the age and condition of the subsurface drainage piping is a major factor in the worsening drainage issues.
