Facility Requirements

The facility requirements result, in large part, from needs associated with reaching the twenty-seven goals noted earlier in this report. For instance, there will be an increase in the number of faculty, the number of graduate students, and the amount of research space. The quality of student life will need to be improved to attract and retain the best students. Almost all of Clemson's goals have facility implications. The result will be significant increases in the quantity and quality of space on campus.

There are forty specific improvements in the Campus Master Plan. Some are for general preservation and renewal of facilities, infrastructure, and landscape. Some are for new buildings or additions to existing buildings. The building improvements range in scale from a new chapel to a new $50 million-building for Civil Engineering and the Department of Textiles, Fibers, and Polymer Science. Other departments or programs that need significant amounts of new space are Biological Sciences, Biosystems Engineering, Chemistry, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, and Physics and Astronomy.
