Campus Architecture & Planning

Campus Architecture & Planning (CAP) provides vision, leadership, and oversight to guide development of the University’s built environment. Our work within the UWF Asset Management organization is with an emphasis on front end and early initiation projects related to:

  • Campus planning
  • Space allocation
  • Asset preservation and renewal
  • Campus beautification and art

We partner with campus units and external agencies on:

  • Data management
  • Capital planning and resource allocation
  • Entitlement strategies

Campus Planning shapes the long-term direction of the University’s physical environment through strategic, integrated planning. By advancing campus and focused area plans and supporting projects from early concept through entitlement, CAP aligns land use and development decisions with institutional priorities and future needs.

Campus planning covers:

  • Open space
  • Buildings (including historic preservation)
  • Non-motorized circulation (walking paths, bike lanes, accessibility, etc.)
  • Motorized circulation (roads, public transportation access, etc.)
  • Utilities
