Towson University’s 2003 campus master plan embodies our long-term vision for the future physical development of campus. Addressing both University System of Maryland requirements and community concerns, the plan sets forth a framework for the development of academic and student life facilities, as well as the roads, parking, utilities and infrastructure to support these buildings. Though encompassing our future physical landscape, the 2003 master plan is not purely architectural. Rather its framework, principles and recommendations were developed to support the university’s mission and its associated strategic initiatives. Toward this aim the plan establishes guiding principles for improving institutional image, creating a sense of arrival to campus, forming an identifiable campus that is connected to its larger community, and developing sustainable manmade and natural environments.

Master Plan Update
The campus master plan is updated on a five-year cycle, both as a matter of good practice and a requirement of the University System of Maryland. The update aims to confirm that the overall framework and long-term vision of the 2003 master plan still meet the university’s current and projected enrollment and program growth initiatives. The update will also detail and document institutional changes that have occurred since the 2003 master plan, such as the completion of new building, landscape, and infrastructure projects.
The university began updating the 2003 campus master plan in late 2008, with the updated plan scheduled for completion in late 2009. A detailed schedule of the phased update process is provided below. The process is designed to be a collaborative and participatory effort involving both campus and community constituents. Feedback from these constituents will be gathered during the development of the plan update.
