Master Planning
UIC’s Campus Master Plan is a planning process as dynamic and diverse as the campus it serves and will actualize the university’s Strategic Priorities. It's comprised of a set of planning documents compiled by Planning, Sustainability and Project Management that help to define a planning process at UIC that is continually edited and updated. The plan provides UIC’s senior leadership with concrete recommendations for ensuring UIC’s built environment supports and reinforces the university's Strategic Priorities.
Guided by an Advisory Committee comprising leaders from Administrative Services; Budgeting, and Program Analysis; Campus Auxiliary Services; Planning, Sustainability and Project Management; Academic Computing, and Communications Center; Development; Faculty Senate; Health Affairs; Institutional Research; Public and Government Affairs; Student Affairs and Student Government; the Campus Master Plan promotes comprehensive and proactive facility and campus planning. It ensures that recommendations for transforming the campus are both data-driven and inspirational.

UIC Master Plan Update: 2018 Implementation Plan Heading link
Approved by the University of Illinois Board of Trustees in November 2018, the UIC Master Plan Update: 2018 Implementation Plan is a bold vision for changing the physical infrastructure of the UIC campus in a way that will enable the continued trajectory of UIC’s people and programs. The 2018 Implementation Plan is an update to the 2010 UIC Campus Master Plan, providing data-driven and inspirational recommendations for the physical development of UIC’s campus over the next 10 years. The 2010 Plan was a long-term, comprehensive framework that provided recommendations for buildings, grounds, transportation, and identity over a 50-year planning horizon. Building upon the 2010 plan as a foundation, the 2018 Implementation Plan also implements the university’s Strategic Priorities, which were developed in 2016 as a way for UIC to build on its strengths and mission.
