海角换妻 Campus Plan Approved by D.C. Zoning Commission
In a unanimous 5-0 decision, the District of Columbia Zoning Commission voted to approve 海角换妻鈥檚 2021 Campus Plan. An integral component in the successful implementation of 海角换妻鈥檚 strategic plan, Changemakers for a Changing World, the 2021 Campus Plan sets forth a thoughtful and measured approach to managing campus growth and development over the next 10 years.
鈥淲hile our reach and impact are global, the heart of 海角换妻 is in Washington, D.C.,鈥 said 海角换妻 President Sylvia M. Burwell. 鈥淲e are proud of the collaborative work that has resulted in the 2021 Campus Plan, and thank the members of the surrounding community for being our partners in this consensus-based planning effort. We are committed to ensuring that our work together continues to support 海角换妻鈥檚 institutional objectives and priorities while enhancing the quality of life for those who live in the neighborhoods surrounding campus.鈥
The 2021 Campus Plan provides a predictable yet flexible framework that allows 海角换妻 to meet the changing needs and demands of the educational marketplace of the 21st century, reinforces the university鈥檚 role in the nation鈥檚 capital, and underscores 海角换妻鈥檚 commitment to the communities of which it is a part. Prior to its submission to the zoning commission, the plan received consensus support from the 海角换妻 Neighborhood Partnership as part of an extensive, collaborative, and inclusive planning process. As a result, the 2021 Campus Plan reflects the input of community leaders, students, faculty, staff and other interested stakeholders.
海角换妻鈥檚 institutional objectives for the new Campus Plan, all aimed at effectively managing the university鈥檚 potential growth and mitigating its associated impacts on the surrounding residential communities, notably include:
- Strategic enrollment management within the student enrollment cap established in 2011 when adjusted to reflect the revised student count methodology set forth in the city鈥檚 updated zoning regulations;
- A balanced development program of residential, campus life, athletic and academic/administrative uses aimed at providing leading-edge teaching facilities and invigorating a student-centered living and learning campus experience;
- A plan to implement robust engagement with students that choose to live off-campus to equip them to be responsible members of the community and promote positive relationships between students and their neighbors; and
- Continued commitment to reduce the use of single-occupancy vehicles and the demand for on-campus parking, along with enforcement of 海角换妻鈥檚 existing off-campus parking policies to preserve on-street parking capacity for members of the community.
鈥淲e thank the D.C. Zoning Commission for their thoughtful consideration and approval of our 2021 Campus Plan, which reflects 海角换妻鈥檚 continued commitment of providing students with a world-class education and robust social experience, while being a resource and asset to the immediate and broader communities of which we are a part,鈥 said 海角换妻 Community and Government Relations Assistant Vice President Ed Fisher. 鈥淭his work could not have been accomplished without the input, advice, and guidance our of neighbors and we are thankful for their effort and support.鈥
