Save the date: Campus Master Plan town halls

Submitted by Division of Facilities

Your first opportunity to provide feedback on concepts, ideas, and plan elements during town halls on K-State’s three campuses will be the week of Oct. 21. This is your next chance to contribute to shaping the future of K-State’s campuses.

Town halls will be held on K-State’s three campuses to gather input from K-Staters and our communities on five themes, or planning principles, that were identified from previous feedback on the Campus Master Plan: enhancing the K-State experience, creating resilient campuses, transforming learning environments, expanding research and improving connectivity. Virtual sessions are also available for those unable to attend in person.

  • Salina: 3:30-4:30 p.m., Monday, Oct. 21, in the College Center Conference Room.
  • Manhattan: 5:30-7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 22, in the College of Business Administration room 1088, or via Zoom. Heavy appetizers will be served.
  • Virtual: noon-1 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 23, on Zoom.
  • Virtual: 6-7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 23, on Zoom.
  • Olathe: 1-3 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 24, in the Forum Hall Auditorium on the Olathe campus.

The Campus Master Plan is a guide for redesigning the physical spaces used by our K-State community. It encompasses facilities, space utilization, infrastructure, accessibility, security, transportation and the student experience across all three Manhattan, Olathe and Salina campuses. The plan is a physical response to K-State's ambitious Next-Gen K-State strategic plan and the university's objectives to invest in modern infrastructure that attracts talent and facilitates cutting-edge research. A final plan will be rolled out in 2025.

Feedback has been gathered over the past few months regarding the future of K-State’s campuses through various stakeholder sessions involving all K-State colleges, student and faculty groups, alumni and local communities.
