Open Forum on Master Facility Planning

Please mark your calendar and plan to attend an Open Forum on MSUM Master Facility Planning being held Thursday, January 21, 2010 (6:30 p.m. in CMU 101). Your participation in the planning Forum will help the University generate a conceptual approach/graphic vision for the whole campus’ open spaces and edges. Our consultants, The Cuningham Group, will bring a summary planning information gathered to date. Small group and large group activities will be used to shape priorities and develop concepts that will help guide future long term development: building locations, internal relocations, and landscaping projects. Your input is very important to the success of Master Facility Planning. Refreshments will be served. We hope to see you there if you’re able to attend.
