Master Planning

All of the above relates to the campus master planning project.

Campus master planning goes hand in hand with curriculum renewal and the sense of purpose and vitality we want to bring to the Seminary, yet master planning is a consequence of a vision for the Seminary rather than the independent driver of one.

The Board has already agreed to two initial stages of the campus master plan:

  • To permit requests for plans and costs for a new library wing

  • To pursue plans for a collaborative rebuilding of the student accommodation at CRW

We understand our provision of accommodation as being one of our greatest gifts. At its best, residence fosters community and life-long friendships. However, other questions remain which are harder to resolve:

  • To what extent should we plan to remain exclusively residential for the medium-term future?

  • What kinds of students will we serve? (Will we see more second-career students, who will prefer not to live in dorms?)

  • To what extent should we continue to provide housing for employees?

  • What should be the proportion between M.Div. students, Ph.D. students, and visiting scholars?

  • How and where are faculty offices best provided?
