If Bucknell’s traditional planning ideas work, why is a new Master Plan necessary?
The Plan for Bucknell, adopted by the Board in spring 2006, established a bold vision for the future of the University and launched a dynamic era of change. A new Master Plan is needed to help transform the five core strategies of The Plan into physical reality. Why should Bucknell change? Bucknell must adjust to changing circumstances. Today, Bucknell has a growing responsibility to the area as a major landholder and economic anchor. More students, a greater national presence, and increased concern for environmental stewardship create a clear opportunity for Bucknell to assume a more proactive leadership role. The new Master Plan will strengthen the University’s connection to the region while ensuring that Bucknell remains one of the most attractive and effective living and learning environments anywhere.
