A Master Plan Update

[The 1996 Nueva School Master Plan Page 1]

A Master Plan is an opportunity to articulate the values of an institution in a physical plan. The Nueva School 2012 Master Plan Update builds upon the 1996 Master Plan and provides a 15 year vision for the school. Through an open, thoughtful, and inclusive process of listening and analysis, and through close collaboration with the Master Plan Committee, overarching values and goals were extrapolated that will form the framework for future campus development.

It is essential to preserve the elements of the existing campus that are most cherished by the Nueva Community. The natural landscape, the areas of creative engagement with nature - including “Mulch Hill” and “The Forts” and the historic Crocker Mansion were a few of the elements of the campus identified by the school community as the most sacred. The Master Plan Update will retain and preserve those elements while allowing for growth, landscape improvement and regeneration, and strengthening campus circulation. The Nueva School will continue to be a responsible steward of its cherished campus for future generations.
