The State University Construction Fund (SUCF) conducted Facilities Master Plans (FMPs) at each of the 32 four-year SUNY campuses. The plans will provide criteria and guidelines for campus improvements and facilities developments for the ten-year period from 2013 to 2023. SUCF conducted the unique large-scale planning effort with the distinct charge for each campus’ facilities plan to be closely aligned with its academic mission and strategic vision.
The consultant Perkins+Will was secured to conduct Binghamton University’s FMP. Through analysis of the University from diverse perspectives, Perkins+Will developed a unified and flexible plan that captures the spirit of BU and addresses facilities challenges and opportunities at the existing campuses and other opportunity sites. The FMP followed a five-phase process, as outlined by SUCF, consisting of:
• Phase 1: Campus Profile
• Phase 2: Assessment of Conditions
• Phase 3: Analysis of Space Needs
• Phase 4: Concept Alternatives
• Phase 5: Final Recommendations
The five phases have been completed.
