Planning Process

Leadership Interviews

Institutional Guidance

To initiate the consultative process and to begin to inform the master plan, 20 of our institution's senior administrators and key leadership were interviewed individually. An interview guide was circulated in advance with discussion points as a general checklist that could be considered by all interview participants ahead of meetings. The interviews were held during the weeks of July 18 and August 23, with additional interviews taking place by video conference as schedules permitted. Campus Planning & Architecture representative, Spencer Court, facilitated and attended all interviews.
