| What's next for future campus construction? |

It's not a perfect campus yet. Even as the University of Cincinnati
celebrates improvements now in place to support learning and increase
the quality of campus life, other needs remain: space for expanding
programs, renovations, reorganization and new technology to attract
and satisfy future students.
As the Campus Master Plan continues to guide the developing face of
the university, here are a few items that may appear on future project
lists:
• College of Applied Science
Because of fast-growing technical programs, CAS is expected to double
in size. That amount of expansion -- 300,000 square feet -- can't fit
on its Victory Parkway campus.
• College of Business
Recent creation of a master plan for COB reveals the need for an additional
103,000 to 215,000 square feet for predicted undergrad and graduate
program growth.
• McMicken College of Arts and Sciences
The largest college at UC, its programs are scattered among several
buildings on West Campus. A&S needs to literally pull itself together,
to be recognized as one college.
• Raymond Walters College
RWC's popular veterinary technology program is housed in the UC Medical
Center on East Campus. That's quite a few miles from the college's Blue
Ash site.
• Medical Center
"The College of Pharmacy needs and deserves state-of-the-art facilities.
With increasing enrollment, the College of Allied Health Sciences will
need expanded accommodations. And, yes, someday in our future, the College
of Nursing will move from our perimeter to the central academic corridor
of the Medical Center." —
Provost Jane Henney, "State of the Medical Center, 2004"
