The FACILITIES & CAMPUS Category Team

Here's how this category got from the raw community feedback (in September of last year) to the current state as goals for the next Long Range Plan:

How an idea becomes a goal-click for larger version

A word of caution:

As you read the goals and strategies in these categories, please keep a few things in mind:

This is a work in progress. These are not finished documents, and should not be taken to represent the completed Long Range Plan. These goals simply represent where we currently are in the process. If an element crucial to you seems to be missing, please email the visioning team with your concerns. We're human, and we may well have missed something.
These goals represent the distillation of months of work, and an incredible amount of information. The lists contained here are not meant to be complete, but are simply representative of greater content with which the teams are currently working. As before, if something is missing, please let us know, but please don't think we've intentionally left out something important to you. It's a work in progress, and we look forward to sharing the whole thing with you when it's complete. If you're concerned about the direction in which we're headed... Get involved!

Now, with that said...
