• 1. Cultivate an innovative and broad-based,
  lifelong educational experience in the art and
  science of veterinary medicine and comparative
  biomedical science.
• 2. Maintain high-quality, focused research
  programs and expand collaborative programmatic
  interactions.
• 3. Address the needs of a changing profession and
  a diverse society in innovative ways.
• 4. Include a global dimension in all activities
  by developing international programs and
  collaborations.
• 5. Improve and strengthen operational efficiency,
  facilities, and financial health.
• 6. Promote and foster an environment of
  collegiality and professionalism.

Proposal for Facility Master Plan

• Develop a comprehensive master plan for the
  veterinary campus that will encourage
  interaction, provide people spaces to enhance
  community, and improve the visual image of the
  college.

5
Create a link building with an Information
Commons including, but not limited to

• lecture classroom large auditorium
• teaching labs computer suite
• study rooms student space
• exercise facility cafeteria
• bookstore library
• administrative units other ?

6
Provide for the functional and visual integration
of multiple buildings

• Allow for the remodel of small animal medicine
  and surgery space.
• Study the best location for clinical pathology.
• Incorporate the footprint of biowaste/biosafety
  facility.
• Expand VDL space for a possible state lab merger.
• Determine the best use of SOL.
• Study the traffic flows and possible change of
  entrances.

7
Plan for Vacated Space Grounds

• Plan for the conversion of vacated space into
  research use for labs and office space based upon
  college priorities.
• Plan for the conversion of vacated space for
  instructional use considering a larger student
  body requiring bigger lecture rooms and teaching
  labs.
• Create a master site plan including parking,
  landscaping and grounds, memorials/a perpetual
  garden, location of the medicinal toxic plant
  garden, and storage.
