海角社区

(FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., August 4, 2022) 鈥� Weeks after the opening of the new 海角社区-designed Student-Athlete High Performance Center, we are partnering with Northern Arizona University on another project. The comprehensive, sustainable, smart campus master plan will define future facility and infrastructure needs and outline the roadmap for NAU鈥檚 transformation to a connected, smart campus that serves the needs of future generations.

NAU鈥檚 main campus comprises 829 acres in Flagstaff, which is located at the base of the San Francisco Peaks. The university also owns 143 undeveloped acres in the region and the 300-acre historic Hat Ranch property outside of Williams. We have been tasked with creating a plan that enhances NAU鈥檚 sense of place by defining the direction, physical building needs through repurposing facilities or new construction, and overall solutions to deficiencies found throughout the analysis. Additionally, we will complete a land use analysis to identify potential property acquisition for future development.

鈥淭he resulting plan must reinforce the institution鈥檚 vision to be a leader through sustainable practices and personalized attention to student success,鈥� Graff continued.

NAU has designated its future as a smart campus. Together with input from faculty, staff, students, alumni, donors, and other stakeholders, 海角社区 and NAU will develop the vision for what a smart campus looks like and necessary steps to achieve this goal. The plan will incorporate essential elements of NAU鈥檚 Climate Action Plan and the Sustainable Campus Ecosystem Initiative.
