Board Approves Strategic Plan
The Board of Trustees approves Building on Strength, a strategic plan for the future, including a 20-year Campus Master Plan.
The Connecticut College Master Plan offers a conceptual analysis of our campus assets and their latent possibilities, as well as a roadmap for future facilities development and renewal over the next 20 years (2018-2038). The analysis reveals the great potential we have to make even more intentional connections among the different regions of our campus, by drawing out the strong north-south axis that defines the central academic corridor; and defining an even stronger east-west axis from the waterfront on the Thames River all the way to the Arboretum. The plan demonstrates how key interventions in buildings and landscape will allow the College to have not only a more physically arresting presence, but also an even greater impact on academic and student life.
