HOUSING MASTER PLAN UTAH STATE UNIVERSITY

Logan, Utah

Utah State University commissioned a comprehensive Logan Campus HousingMasterPlanefforttoaddresscurrentaswellasfuturegrowth needsforon-campushousing.

The plan identified priorities for future development, sought optimal adjacencies with other campus functions, integrated essential functions such as Dining Services and Residence Life, improved circulation patterns, considered safety and security of residents, and sought to improve efficiency of land use while modernizing the standard of student living for contemporary and future needs. It provided strategies to enhance the image and character of USU, shift housing opportunities wherever possible to integrate within academic core of campus and to strengthen the connections for campus shuttle infrastructure to outlying housing sites.

Growth was analyzed in 0-5yrs, 5-15yrs, and 15+ years (full build out). The goals for growth for existing housing sites were generally to replace the current stock over time, and add 10% while investing in more flexible infrastructure for future improvements beyond the developed plan.

The overall vision for on-campus housing at Utah State University was that it should feel like “Home” while also providing a safe and comfortable environment for students to pursue their academic goals and build lifelong networking connections.
