Two years ago Fork Union Military Academy em-barked on a long-range planning effort to gain align-ment on how to best accomplish our mission of edu-cating, developing, and inspiring young men in this college preparatory, Christian, military environment. This resulted in a strategic plan published a year ago, and embraced by the entire school community. We also articulated our long-standing core values of re-spect, integrity, faith, character, and discipline.
With a common vision of becoming a national leader among independent boarding schools, where faculty, facilities, and programs exemplify excellence, it was clear that the next step was to develop a com-prehensive campus master plan. This plan, and its execution, will ensure that the school environment and culture promotes Christian values and cultivates strength of character, self-discipline, and critical thinking skills essential for lifelong learning, leader-ship, and service to others.
Ive often used the expression: Facilities are a re-flection of the people inside. It is critical that the facilities at Fork Union Military Academy reflect the holistic development of body, mind, and spirit, where future leaders are educated, shaped, and inspired. It is also essential that the facilities reflect the quality of our entire workforce, which will in turn allow us to attract and retain the very best.
We began interviewing architectural firms, and chose Glav & Holmes based on their past reputa-tion, body of work, and aligned values. We accepted their proposal, and were blessed with funding from the Jessie Ball DuPont Fund. Without this support, the planning endeavor would not have been possible. The DuPont Fund has been a good friend and sup-porter since its inception, and this particular gift will last many generations.
The campus master plan presented here reinforces our identity, strengthens our security and safety,
Message from the President 1111

creates a campus which is a collection of places, all of which supports our mission, and communicates our vision by expressing it throughout the appearance and functionality of our campus.
We are grateful to the team of stakeholders who met regularly, and appreciative of the architects who listened and created a plan that will allow this vision to become a reality.
Fork Union Military Academy is indeed a sanctu-ary, unlike any other independent boarding school. Once this campus master plan is fully implemented we will be the model private Christian boarding/day school with a military lifestyle. This unique blend of support, challenge, intellectual stimulation, and physical development will prepare students to serve God and lead America.
We know implementation of this campus mas-ter plan will require much prayer and considerable support from friends, alumni, trustees, parents, and advocates. The investment necessary to create the
school represented in this plan will clearly strengthen the young men who join us as cadets, and result in a stronger nation.
I encourage you to read every word of this Campus Master Plan, and every word of our Strategic Plan. Implemented together they will create a strong com-munity. In the 5th and 4th centuries BC, Athens was known as a city that developed well-educated and cultured citizens, and Sparta was known for military discipline, physical strength, courage, and honor.
Many believe that a choice must be made between being either Athens or Sparta, but we believe they can coexist together. Blending the two successfully will distinguish us from all other college preparatory, Christian, military schools.
Go Future! Go FUMA!

Our mission is to educate, develop, and inspire young men in a college preparatory, Christian, military environment. Cadets build character, and learn leadership, independence, confidence, responsibility, and discipline in a setting that encourages mental, physical, and spiritual growth.
14
...a prudent man gives thought to his steps.Proverbs 14:15
The Campus Master Plan is a strategic, conceptual guide purposed to create a clear vision for the physical enhancement of Fork Union Military Academy. This book is the tangible result of a much deeper planning process. Distilled from numerous workshops, assess-ments, analyses, and discussions, the master plan is, at its core, a confluence of assessing current needs and envisioning the future. Specifically the design team was tasked to strengthen the campus identity and character, which together help cultivate a sense of place. Following the framework of FUMAs mission statement [left], the campus itself is, in many ways, a physical manifestation of this calling. Set within a Community, the derivative concepts of Body, Mind, and Spirit form the basis of FUMAs sense of place. Those elements have been fundamental to the plan-ning process and will be evident both directly and indirectly throughout the master plan.
The initial process begins with look back into the history of FUMAs physical campus. With consensus to prioritize the original Military Gothic Style as the enduring brand of FUMA, the master plan propos-es how to advance the campus while building upon
and honoring the existing context that has defined FUMA for over a century.
Similar to how FUMA uses its mission statement as a guide for its academic, athletic, and Christian components of student life, the Guiding Principles are a fundamental framework for defining the over-all feel of the campus. The images illustrating these principles are not intended to be directly referenced, but provide example imagery of the concepts. While general in nature, together they form a prescriptive lens to view every detail of the campus as an opportu-nity to consistently reinforce FUMAs character and identity.
A sense of place is also formed by buildings and spaces. Using diagrammatic analyses of the current campus as tools to focus discussions, a broad picture of physical needs and aspirations begin to take shape. The results are repeatedly refined and finally illustrat-ed both in site plan and rendered perspective form.
Inherent with envisioning the future is the reality for new priorities and changes. Hand in hand with The Strategic Plan, the Campus Master Plan forms an integrated road map for future development.
Preface 1515
Essential to planning for the future is understand-ing the past. Accordingly, the Campus Master Plan begins with a body of research to understand the built history of Fork Union Military Academy. The historical overview is a summary of the research on the built context of the campus and catalogs both existing structures and those which have been demol-ished. Photographic evidence illustrates the found-ing structures of the schools formation and their pre-cise locations around Fraley Circle. The dominant Military Gothic style begins with the construction of Hatcher Hall, the earliest building that exists on campus. Much of this historical research helps to substantiate the master planning ideas and aid to strengthen the core values within the identity of the campus.
Historical Overview16
17Historical Overview
Mr. & Mrs. W. P. Snead donated the initial six acres of land to build the first academic building at FUMA, later named in honor of Charles G. Snead. Snead Hall burned down in 1923.
The Sneads provided eleven more acres of land on which The Armory was built. The Armory also burned down in 1923.

Built as an addition to the Alumni Gym, the Junior School housed 26 students, 4 faculty, and FUMAs first pool in the basement. With the Jr. Barracks built in 1943, the building converted en-tirely to faculty apartments. It was later demolished for Bronson Commons in 2003.
Junior School [1930] D-Annex Barracks [1935]Also sited behind Alumni Gym, the D-Annex was originally
built to provide housing for 96 students, 2 faculty, a lounge, and the Quartermasters department. A rifle range, book store, and printing press were added to D-Annexs many functions. By the time it burned down in 1953 the student housing had been converted to 4 classrooms and 2 more faculty apartments.

Originally the student social center on campus, Vaughan Hall functioned as the Commandants Office for many years. In 2013, the south half of the building was renovated and returned to a student social center. The north half, facing Fraley Circle, is currently vacant.
Located next to Hatcher Hall, Per-kins Hall was built to contain science classrooms and labs. Currently it func-tions as the technology center for the campus, as well as housing the Chap-lains office and additional classrooms.

Memorial Hall was built to house a growing population of Upper School cadets. The military Gothic styled bar-racks was demolished in 2013.
Located in direct view of Fraley Cir-cle, it now is the home to the Chaplain. The President currently lives at nearby Careby Hall, the historic home of the schools founder, Dr. William Hatcher.

As the Junior School program expanded, the first wing of the barracks was opened in 1940. The dorm capacity was doubled upon completion and remains in service to this day. [bottom photograph]
Originally the schools library, it was named in honor of George Owen Retan, an alumnus who was killed in action during WWII. Now known as the Retan Flag Hall, it serves as the band building.
In conjunction with the barracks, the Junior School Academic Building was constructed. Adjacent to the barracks, it also continues to function as the ma-jority of academic classrooms for the younger cadets.

Built on the site of the D-Annex, the Sabre Shop operates as a snack and so-cial center for students. The Interna-tional style design is a clear departure from the campus architecture to date.
Developing the Fork Union street-scape and defining the edge of campus were the projects of a new entry arch and the Fork Union Motor Lodge. The Motor Lodge was demolished in 2013.

Dining services had been located in Hatcher Hall until the Estes Dining Hall opened. Its construction allowed for renovation of Hatcher Halls dining area into academic classrooms.
Located near the entrance of campus, the monument honors FUMA Alumni who gave their lives in service to our nation. It was dedicated during the FUMA 100th Anniversary Celebration.

The Guiding Principles comprise both broad de-sign initiatives applicable to the Fork Union Military Academy campus as a whole, as well as specific for-mal and functional objectives adapted to the pedes-trian scale. The guidelines are intended to reinforce the FUMA planning principles, which include:
Respect and reinforce the Military Gothic character of the campus core
Create a pedestrian-focused, walkable campusDefine and enhance the order and safety of
outdoor spacesSustainably manage physical and natural
resourcesProvide infrastructure necessary to support
campus growth and change
The guidelines reflect the primary goal of reinforc-ing the tradition of excellence at Fork Union Military Academy by guiding the construction of distinctive, quality structures that embody the enduring values of Body, Mind, and Spirit. The campus development methodology encourages distinction of the historic Military Gothic campus core; each building design should contribute to the identity of the campus while enhancing the architectural and landscape pattern of its individual precinct. The images that follow are purposed only for illustrating broad design concepts and are not intended to be directly referenced.
Guiding Principles38
39Guiding Principles
As a combination of medieval archi-tecture serving a defensive purpose and the religious Gothic style that emerged in the 11th and 12th centuries, Mili-tary Gothic architecture has come to symbolize important military acad-emies throughout the United States. Appropriately associated with schools such as The Citadel, Virginia Military Institute, and Virginia Tech, this style is equally appropriate for Fork Union Military Academy, focused on Chris-tian character building and military discipline.
Building faades shall demonstrate a coherent architectural composition that assimilates into the established Military Gothic context. New build-ing faades shall maintain the general neutral color of the historic cores ma-terial palette and emulate its subtle at-tention to detail.
Large buildings shall incorporate de-sign features to reduce their perceived mass, promoting a human scale for the campus. Roofs shall generally be flat with crenelated parapets.
Military Gothic Architecture
Fork Union Military Academy Campus Master Plan
40
Fork Union Military Academy Campus Master Plan
41
Building entrances shall be monu-mental and considered a major design feature emblematic of the buildings use. Entrances shall be located along primary pedestrian and vehicular cir-culation paths and sited to maximize visibility and identity. Entrances shall be designed to accommodate interac-tion directly adjacent to their location to encourage social gathering in highly visible areas.
Building Entrances
Fork Union Military Academy Campus Master Plan
42
Both crenelation of a buildings parapet and buttressing of exterior walls are functional details of historic battlement structures. These motifs have come to represent a Military Gothic Style as seen at FUMA and shall be utilized on new structures within the campus core.
Crenelation & Buttressing
Fork Union Military Academy Campus Master Plan
43
Windows shall generally be simple in style, with stucco or precast head and sill detail. Where used to accentuate an entrance or special interior program, windows shall refer to Gothic examples of arched openings and bays with min-imal but distinguishable tracery.
Windows
Fork Union Military Academy Campus Master Plan
44
The FUMA campus has a strong tradition of building materials that contribute to its lasting memorable impression as a Military Gothic Campus. These materials express FUMAs association with military schools of higher education and assert an expectation and commitment to excellence. The predominant faade building material shall be stucco, with entrances and accent details constructed of stone. (The Chapel is a worthy exception to this standard and is appropriately unique in its red brick material.)
Material & Color
Fork Union Military Academy Campus Master Plan
45
Piers, walls, and gateways shall be used to signify entrance into new pre-cincts of campus, whether it be the campus core, secondary precincts, or environmental trails. These features should embody the Military Gothic style and be monumental in their stat-ure. All new edges of campus, partic-ularly along James Madison Highway, shall possess a compatible and coherent impression of FUMA. Gateway build-ings shall further reinforce this ideal and provide significant architectural features that respond to primary cam-pus circulation paths, nodes, and open spaces. Architectural features that en-hance and support way-finding are en-couraged.
Campus Edges
Fork Union Military Academy Campus Master Plan
46
Fork Union Military Academy Campus Master Plan
47
Brickwork shall be used on broad walks intended for priority use by pedestrians. Brickwork shall also be used, exemplified by the Fraley Cir-cle flagpole, as an accent at important landmarks and outdoor spaces. Bench-es and other outdoor furniture shall be placed on a brick pad, reinforcing a sense of place and respite. Donor plaques are to be incorporated in the brickwork using engraved granite or brick pavers.
Pedestrian-Focused Details
Fork Union Military Academy Campus Master Plan
48
Furniture shall be consistent through-out the campus. Wood benches and trash receptacles, as shown, will help instill a pedestrian sense of place. Met-al bollards, with ball finials, and chains, a style reminiscent of military installa-tions, can help direct pedestrian traffic and limit vehicular circulation during typical days. There shall be consistency in light poles and color of lamps.
Furniture and Lighting
Fork Union Military Academy Campus Master Plan
49
Trees, shrubs, and planting beds shall be organized to reinforce and enhance the order of the buildings and the spac-es created by them. The existing trees that line the entry drive shall be pre-served and replanted with large canopy deciduous trees so as to retain the state-ly alle that signifies an entry of impor-tance. In much the same way, the cher-ry trees that line Fraley Circle should be preserved and replanted as needed to provide a consistent and hospitable sense of arrival. Other plantings within the campus core shall remain orderly, with minimal foundation plantings at the base of buildings. Instead, plant-ings should be placed to create thresh-olds, edges, and order within the larger landscape.
Use of Plants
Fork Union Military Academy Campus Master Plan
50
Whenever possible, architectural and landscape motifs shall embody the schools motto of Body, Mind & Spirit. This can be realized not only in the use of the logo, but also in words, quotes, sculptures, and symbols that embody these themes. The use of tastefully placed art on campus is encouraged.
Application of Body, Mind, Spirit
Fork Union Military Academy Campus Master Plan
51
Faculty housing, particularly struc-tures located along James Madison Highway, shall be permitted to vary from the Military Gothic style in a way that is appropriate to the residential use and compatible with the Queen Anne Vernacular architecture of Fluvanna County. The Carpenter Gothic style, with wood siding, steep-pitched roofs, eccentric porches, and ornamental de-tailing, is an appropriate contextual response to the residential community and reinforces the importance of build-ing community on the FUMA campus.

Program Priorities
Following are a series of analytical documents that dissect and illustrate the existing conditions and or-ganizing patterns on campus. Building use, condi-tion, and style are cataloged, along with site condi-tions of tree canopy, slope, and circulation. Existing pedestrian and vehicular patterns are counted and analyzed to understand current conflicts and future needs. Each diagram represents an understanding of FUMAs physical context and inform development needs and opportunities.
Planning Analysis54
55Planning Analysis
The campus core is currently organized with dedi-cated Middle School uses to the north side of Fraley Circle and Upper School uses to the south of Fra-ley Circle. These two distinct areas have potential to help organize the secondary outdoor spaces accord-ing to a programmatic purpose. Another organizing strategy is to create academic quads which have an educational component, and student life quads that have a social or athletic purpose. Fraley Circle should remain the heart of campus and should be refined to represent the highest level of order and discipline on campus.

A variety of uses are found in the campus core. Im-portant in this analysis is an understanding that most of the student program largely occurs within this tight campus core, with housing, student life activ-ities, athletics, and academics all occurring within a short walk. It will be important to bring thoughtful and visible order to the programmatic uses through-out campus, considering how adjacencies between uses foster community.

Although important campus improvements have occurred over the last few years, the building con-ditions analysis highlights a need to revitalize the north side of the campus core. The middle school barracks and academic building, Memorial Gymna-sium, Thomas Gymnasium pool, Vaughan Hall, the maintenance facility, and the steam plant should all be seriously considered for demolition or complete and extensive renovation.

Most buildings on campus contribute, through their Military Gothic architectural style, to a strong sense of place. Only a handful of buildings stray from this architectural language, detracting from the whole by use of exterior color, material, or style. In an effort to maintain a continuity of visual identity, it will be important to consider these buildings visibility from the campus core. It would be advisable to consider refacing or obscuring some of the less contributing buildings during the course of building planning.

Recent demolition of existing structures and the construction of Jacobson Hall has altered the phys-ical fabric of the campus core. These changes have resulted in a lack of organization and order between buildings and have caused specific conflict locations between the pedestrian and the vehicle. Pedestrian circulation shall be given priority over vehicle circu-lation, enhancing the walkability of the campus core for cadets, staff, and visitors.

Currently, parking is available throughout campus, as parallel parking around Fraley Circle, small park-ing lots behind and between existing buildings, and gravel overflow lots at the edges of campus. In an effort to make the pedestrian a priority to the campus core, more formal designated parking areas should be identified and developed to keep the car on the perimeter of campus. New connector roadways will facilitate the reduction of vehicular traffic at the core of campus and better address overall connection of parking areas. Vehicular drop-off areas will be re-quired to successfully manage this change in move-ment through campus. Casual parking along roads and between buildings shall be discouraged for the safety of the pedestrian.

An important component of the Master Plan is understanding the natural qualities of the FUMA campus. Establishing an environmental steward-ship approach to future development aligns with the schools core values and allows cadet access and exposure to natural areas. Much of the eastern side of campus is undeveloped with heavily wooded ar-eas, a small stream and lake, along with small faculty houses concentrated along Pettit-Foster Lane. In an effort to preserve these environmental amenities, fu-ture development should focus around the campus core to the west, with an increased density of school related structures on relatively flat sites (shown as low slope areas). The eastern side of campus should be enhanced with environmental amenities, including outdoor classrooms along the stream and lake, new environmental walking trails, and a concentrated de-velopment of faculty housing or school program to preserve the natural surroundings.

An overall analysis of the campus configuration re-vealed a development framework that loosely follows FUMAs mission of Body, Mind, and Spirit. The historic Fraley Circle and chapel embody a reverent spirit that physically identifies the heart of campus. Surrounding that, the academic and cadet support facilities identify a concentration of activities focused on the mind and advancing academic learning for the cadets. The final ring of activities are athletic facili-ties and fields, illustrating the important component of the body in developing a complete cadet. Finally, the community areas identify important components of faculty housing and Fork Union town engagement which provide edges of safety and opportunities for sharing the mission with the surrounding commu-nity.

The Existing Building Assessment is a catalog of all existing structures on campus, listed in the order of their construction and identifying their approximate gross square footage. Through a series of meetings, building tours, and research, each buildings physical condition was quantified and specific physical needs were identified. Each building was also assessed as to its visual contribution to the overall campus vision.
Finally, each building was assessed for its current programmatic use, efficient utilization of interior spaces, and current or future programmatic needs. These factors, together with the other analytical stud-ies, are tools which aid in the future planning of the campus as a whole.

The Vision
The Campus Master Plan is the final outcome of the master planning process and identifies poten-tial developments over the next 20 years. Proposed developments directly respond to the immediate and future programmatic needs of the school, and through thoughtful considerations of building rela-tionships, implement the Design Principles through-out campus. The final result is a planning document which will ensure that incremental development will positively contribute to a coherent, disciplined, and well-organized campus. The Campus Master Plan is intended to guide developments and make visible, in physical form, the very principles of character and leadership that are being instilled in the young men who attend Fork Union Military Academy.
If followed as a guide for future development, significant out-comes of the Campus Master Plan should include:
A unified vision of the FUMA campus with an identifiable Military Gothic architecture
The creation of a pedestrian-focused, walkable campus
The establishment of clear and safe campus edges
The organization of important outdoor spaces that have programmatic connections to adjacent buildings
A clear direction for sustainable development which preserves and enhances the schools resources
A legible road map to guide future development and sustain the important legacy of FUMA

Embedded in the master plan is a framework that defines and guides the programmatic uses of the campus in broad terms. At the heart of FUMAs campus is the Spirit: the historic founding of the school, the identifiable Fraley Circle that organizes the schools rituals of military formation as well as the John J Wicker Chapel which guides the Christian focus of the school. Encircling the Spirit is the Mind: the academic and student life spaces, including classrooms, social spaces, dining halls, and barracks.
Surrounding the Mind is the Body: the extensive areas used for personal training, team building, and physical health. Finally, bordering these concentric circles that define the campus core is the Community: a safety buffer that provides a watchful eye from faculty houses and provides engagement with the larger Fork Union community. The framework is the armature to guide future development on campus and provides for overall flexibility of building placement within each area.

The core of campus is organized around historic A Fraley Circle, with improvements intended to ac-cent B Hatcher Hall as the founding structure of the campus. Cars will be prohibited from entering Fraley Circle, dedicated to pedestrian circulation and a reverent location for company formations. Cars will arrive at a C roundabout, where they will see the postcard view of the historic core, then shift north to parking areas behind D Estes Dining Hall.
Hatcher Hall is envisioned for a full renovation to bring its administrative use to current code and technology. Further refinements to the north and south quads, E Academic Quad and F Student Life Quad respectively, give order and discipline to the spaces created between buildings. Additionally, a G new road from Academy Road and expanding H parking lot will allow the closing of Pettit-Foster Lane in front of I Jacobson Hall.
New building development is mostly focused on the north side of the core, with an integrated J
Mind, Body, Spirit Center to house a new caf and student lounge, chaplains office, student counseling and college preparatory services, as well as academic classrooms. A new K Visitor and Admissions Cen-ter, located to the south of the entry drive with a ded-icated parking lot, will house guest services, alumni museum and Admissions services. Classrooms and presentation rooms will be housed on the second floor. The relocation of the alumni museum will al-low L Alumni House to be renovated back to resi-dential use and will serve as V.I.P. Housing for distin-guished visitors.
On the south side of the core, M Wicker Science Hall will undergo a comprehensive lab renovation, lobby upgrade and new entry portico. An N out-door classroom could potentially be located near the science building and showcase the schools focus on science and technology. O Vaughan Hall will be renovated as the new Character & Leadership Cen-ter, a new resource for cadets.

Sited along James Madison Highway, A Faculty Housing West is organized around a B village green, with a combination of single-family dwellings over-looking the C Athletic Fields and large multi-unit houses facing James Madison Highway. These hous-es will be scaled and detailed to resemble the large homes and farmhouses that exist throughout Flu-vanna County, with detailing that is reminiscent of Queen Annes Architecture. The shared green will provide a central focus for the community and a place for families to play and socialize. Because of its location on the edge of campus, FUMA will have built-in flexibility in the future disposition of these
structures, including the possibility of leasing or sell-ing them to the larger community.
Also included in this area are an D Overlook Green for football associated events and E visitor and bus parking along a F new entry drive. A new G Incu-bator Building, situated off James Madison Highway, is a future development idea to offer cadets business and entrepreneurial opportunities and provide ser-vice amenities to the community. The second floor could be designed as faculty apartments, offered a mixed-use development opportunity that could ben-efit FUMA and the larger community.

Located in the heart of the FUMA property, in the vicinity of current faculty housing, the Faculty Hous-ing East development is divided into two portions, each with a central green. The A northern portion, arranged on a rise overlooking the pond, includes new single-family houses that infill existing structures on the radius of an arc. Closest to the road and closing the end of the green is a larger, multi-unit apartment building to provide housing options for FUMA staff. On the other side of the road, a B second group of houses is envisioned as a later phase. This group is also arranged in an arc around a green, with a sister apart-ment building closing the end. Unlike the northern group, this southern group is designed as a mews, where the houses face the pedestrian green and have vehicles access garages via an alley in the rear, enhanc-ing the pedestrian priority of the village community.
Faculty Housing East
It should be noted that although this eastern res-idential community reflects the current campus demands for housing, it is entirely possible that in the next few years, FUMA could acquire additional suitable land and elect, rather, to develop additional faculty and staff housing along James Madison High-way. This strategy would permit FUMA to reserve the land in the center of the property for future cadet program expansion and reinforce the logic reflected in the siting of the Faculty Housing West.
Sited on the ridge line overlooking the pond, the future C Presidents House is planned to be locat-ed on campus. This will allow for a strong visual presence of the President in the life of the cadets and will provide for entertaining opportunity within the walkable campus.

Athletic improvements to the north side of cam-pus will focus on spectator services and distinguished spaces for varsity games and tournaments. A new A football stadium with multi-sport artificial turf field will also serve as the parade ground. A newly lo-cated B varsity baseball field with artificial turf will provide expanded spectator seating and warm-up areas. C The Fieldhouse will offer concessions and public restrooms, while also allowing for the needed expansion of exercise and training facilities for stu-dents and faculty. Other improvements include in-
terior renovations to D Estes Athletic Center, with a renovated basketball game court, upgraded wrestling facility and expanded locker rooms. Additionally, a new E vehicular road connects James Madison Highway with the F Estes Parking lot, alleviating pedestrian conflicts in front of Estes Gymnasium. A new G maintenance building will offer ease of lawn service to the athletic fields. A new H network of well-defined and safe pedestrian trails will connect around the lake and offer casual opportunity for ca-dets to be outdoors.

The southwest corner of campus, at the intersec-tion of Academy Road and James Madison Highway will be the location of a future A performing arts center. As one of the most visible structures to the public, the building will offer and encourage com-munity engagement and will provide a strong visual identity to the Military Gothic recognition that is FUMA. B New parking and C drop-off circle will
accommodate the magnitude of guests while also cre-ating a safety buffer between the campus core and the town along James Madison Highway. A new D Arts Building will house classrooms, performance studios, band and art studios and lend collaboration with the adjacent STEM program in the E Wicker Science Hall.

Implementation Priority Group
The Development Priority Map, in association with the itemized list of building and site improvements on the pages to follow, organizes the Campus Master Plan into a manageable road map for fundraising and implementation. Corresponding with the Program Priorities, as outlined on page 54, each letter on the map represents a discrete area of work that includes building, site improvements, and landscaping. The areas are initially prioritized alphabetically based on numerous meetings with FUMAs Master Plan Com-mittee and Executive Committee. Areas identified in red are currently dependent on the campus-wide steam heating system and will need to be decentral-ized before the steam plant can be decommissioned [Located within area E].
The map and priority list is intended to help guide the first steps of implementation of the Campus Master Plan. The implementation priorities is a re-flection of the current needs of the FUMA campus. However, many of these areas may be re-prioritized to reflect the changing demands and unknown op-portunities that FUMA will encounter over the next twenty years. The discrete areas allow for flexibility and accommodate change while keeping the Campus Master Plan a useful and living document.
