2014 Campus Master Plan and Design Excellence Strategy and Urban Design Guidelines

The 2014 review of the Macquarie University Master Plan was driven by the 2013 strategy Our University – A Framing of Futures and the significant growth on the campus since 2004. Ongoing changes in teaching methodologies, the growth in research capability, new course opportunities at Macquarie, a desire to increase industry engagement and the potential of commercial opportunities on the campus are also key considerations.

The documents were structured to identify the key elements that underpin the plan and new initiatives. It is important to note that the Master Plan is not intended to be prescriptive in any way. Instead, it is intended to provide a general framework to guide and assist the University in its decision-making with respect to the future development of the campus. It will be reviewed from time to time, to reflect the strategic direction of the University and to ensure relevance to current broader planning frameworks.
