6. Goals: To advance its mission and strategic
plan, the College required a framework for
sustainable development to preserve the
historic character of its core campus and its
integrated land-use and open space patterns.
Strategies: EYP assisted the College in
defining building requirements and identifying
optimal sites for new construction and
Land Use Pattern
landscape improvements. Planning studies
encompassed site analysis and design; building
condition and energy survey; preparation of a
space inventory database and space utilization
analyses; and facility programming.
Achievements: Franklin’s new master plan
reflects the campus’s 175-year evolution
along the principles of Thomas Jefferson’s
academical village. To meet the College’s
goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions,
the plan features projects for recycling as
well as reinvigorating existing buildings or
expanding them where program requirements
substantiate the need for additional space. Land
development proposals create athletic and
recreational fields on recently acquired acreage
east of the core campus.

8. Goals: To strengthen its identity as an
inclusive community resource and to
maximize a constrained urban campus,
Rockhurst needed to create a compelling
vision to advance academic excellence through
reasoned development.
Strategies: Our multidisciplinary team helped
the University plan for program development
while relating to its residential and commercial
context. Proposed buildings along a major
avenue will introduce retail spaces or activities,
contributing to the local economy and creating
a more porous campus edge that encourages
visitors. A donor walk will draw pedestrians
across campus green spaces. Sustainable
elements such as rain gardens and green roofs
will create a more pleasant, sustainable campus,
while six sacred spaces will invite quiet
reflection. Renovation of historic Sedgwick
Hall with addition of a winter garden will
establish a new campus focal point.
Achievements: Rockhurst’s plan positions

10. Goals: As an early signatory of the Presidents
Climate Commitment, the University required
a strategic framework to guide sustainable
development of its core campus as well as
establishment of a satellite location within
a nearby urban redevelopment district.
Strategies: Campus planning studies
undertook a complete update of the campus
space inventory database and an intensive
utilization analysis of all instructional
space. Featured proposals included: access
enhancements; energy-savings measures;
intensified building reuses and space
reallocations; and a focused program for
landscape refurbishment.
Achievements: The plan underscores
Chatham’s identity as a champion of
environmental responsibility, while establishing
the magnitude of space required for relocation
of graduate programs to an urban redevelopment
district, a strategic initiative to advance
graduate programs and the institution’s profile.
The interim phase of the plan embraces a
near-term no-build strategy. Sites for new
construction were identified in anticipation
of the long-term development of the Shady

12. Goals: The University required a
comprehensive master plan to support its
strategic goals for sustainable land development
to consolidate undergraduate student housing
on campus and create appropriate academic
program space, including classrooms and
library facilities.
Strategies: EYP provided a framework for
developing the site and buildings appropriate
to the institution’s image and strategic goals.
Our team analyzed both current and planned
facilities and offered recommendations on
potential energy efficiency gains as well as
alternative and renewable energy sources.
Initiatives are cast for a ten-year timeframe
within the context of a twenty-year land
development strategy.
Achievements: The master plan provides the
University with a functional framework for
sustainable growth to create spaces suitable
to its distinctive academic programs.

14. Goals: The School needed to assess its existing
facilities and space utilization to develop a
strategy for near-term improvement with
a view toward the long-term potential for
campus development.
Strategies: Our multidisciplinary team
provided short-term and long-term
improvement plans for Harvard Kennedy
School classrooms and teaching spaces. Our
design exploration tested alternative concepts
and the capacity of the existing core campus
for long-term space use and development.
Achievements: EYP created a strategic
space program that encompasses the entire
HKS campus. We were subsequently
commissioned by the University to undertake
the first classroom improvement project, the District Zoning
renovation of Weiner Auditorium in Taubman
Hall.

18. Goals: To complement and advance its
mission, the College required a framework for
reasoned and sustainable development of its
buildings and grounds.
Strategies: The plan addresses present-day
challenges while anticipating potentials for the
future. The campus’s Olmsted quadrangles
and Collegiate Georgian architecture will
be preserved. Core proposals include the
renovation and re-use of iconic campus
buildings; the creation of a new center for
allied sciences; and the relocation of grounds
services.
Achievements: Site development proposals

sustainable long-term campus development.
Strategies: EYP’s planning process engaged
campus constituents to draw upon the
experiences and understanding of a wide range
of participants including students, faculty, staff,
administrators, and the College’s Regents. A
space inventory database, detailing the space
available and subsequently the space needed
for the future, and site analysis drawings were
used to inform discussions, clarify needs, and
generate proposals for alternative solutions.

Strategies: The President and the executive
leadership team met with the EYP team to
outline the objectives of the study and confirm
current conditions and oncoming challenges to
be addressed. Baseline statistics were updated
to reflect the evolution of conditions on
campus since the prior study. Capital initiatives
were identified for implementation in three

23. Dartmouth College Hanover, NH
Energy Master Plan
Goals: Dartmouth College strives to be an
exemplary steward of the environment. The
College tasked EYP with evaluating the
environmental aspects of its energy use and the
issues and impacts of a variety of future energy
options.
Strategies: After analyzing current carbon
emissions based on the existing campus,
EYP extrapolated future emissions from
the College’s plans for growth in order to
evaluate multiple strategies for reducing the
campus’s long-term carbon footprint. We
assessed a range of renewable energy source
options including solar, wind, landfill gas,
and biomass, appraising the impact of each
Dartmouth Campus option on the carbon footprint trajectory.
Energy systems options included geothermal
