November 5 Meetings To Address
Facilities Planning And Parking Policy

Two meetings will be held this week to discuss planning for the implementation of 21st Century UConn.

On Wednesday, November 5, the consultants engaged by the University to assist with the planning effort, JJR Inc. and Chance Management, will meet with the Master Plan Advisory Committee from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., and with the Parking Advisory Committee from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., in Room 7 of the Bishop Center. Both meetings are open to the public, and all interested parties are encouraged to attend. Time for public participation will be provided.

The issues to be addressed at the Master Plan Advisory Committee meeting include potential sites for the replacement of the Arjona and Monteith buildings; designation of future construction opportunitie s for academic and residential buildings; and options for locating student health services and athletic and student recreational facilities.

The Parking Advisory Committee will meet to hear the consultants' suggestions for potential changes in parking policies and fee structures.

These meetings are part of a series of meetings that will occur during this academic year, as the plan is finalized in preparation for presentation to the Board of Trustees in summer or fall 2004.

During this important new planning stage, known as Master Plan III, members of the UConn community are urged to keep themselves informed and provide input into the plans.
