CCU Master Plan is under development
In about six months, Coastal Carolina University will be prepared to unveil its new comprehensive Campus Master Plan.Sasaki Associates of Watertown, Mass., is the prime contractor. Sub-consultants include Timbes Architectural Group of Conway, Garvin Design Group of Columbia, Castles Engineering Inc. of Myrtle Beach, RMF Engineering Inc. of Mt. Pleasant and Cumming/SMG of Columbia. The CCU Campus Master Plan Steering Committee was established to set goals and make decisions on behalf of the University.
The steering committee will review the analysis, options and master plan ideas that Sasaki brings forward. The advisory committee will also challenge and discuss master plan strategies and contribute detail and experience to the master plan process.
The steering committee began its work with consultants on March 25 and 26. Members of the committee met with the advisory committee on July 21 and 22, working together in three-hour workshops. Together they began identifying existing campus conditions and developing scenarios for growth. The advisory committee will meet for several more workshops leading to the final development of the master plan. Sasaki will prepare the campus master plan, illustrating the location of buildings and other campus facilities, open space, vehicular circulation and parking, pedestrian circulation and infrastructure improvements. The company will also prepare a schedule of cost estimates for improvements and new buildings, and a plan for implementation.
