INTRODUCTION

Chicago State University is pleased to present its first comprehensive University Master Plan. The MasterPlan is a call to action for the creation of a physical framework that will facilitate a grand campus transformation.President Daniel's stated goal for this initiative was the development of a plan that would result in a campusenvironment whose stellar architectural and landscape design embodied the aesthetic and functional requisites for aworld-class communiversity. This resulting communiversity will serve as a beacon for Chicago's South Side andbeyond.

The Chicago State University Master Plan presented herein is a comprehensive plan that will serve as aguide for the future physical development of the campus for the near term (5 years), the midterm (10-20 years),and the long range (50 years). Its content was conceptualized by the University Master Plan Steering Committee inpartnership with the architectural and planning firm of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) and is based onprinciples embodying the mission, goals, and culture of the University.

In 2002, SOM, one of the nation's leading architectural and planning firms, was selected as the externalplanning consultant to help guide the Chicago State University Master Plan. The University Master Plan SteeringCommittee sought input from faculty, staff, students, alumni, elected officials, city and regional transportationagencies, and neighborhood and civic groups on the scope of a blueprint that would address campus identity,access, facilities, infrastructure, open space, environment, parking and new technologies.

Two common themes emerged from a myriad of meetings and interviews conducted with all segments ofthe university constituency during the observations phase of the plan process, namely: (1) how to guide futurephysical growth in a manner aligned with the academic mission of Chicago State, and (2) how to ensure that growthaccommodates and directs the given needs of the campus in a manner consistent with the community values of theUniversity.

The observations phase focused on two areas of analysis: programming and place. Program componentsreflect input from relevant separate studies affecting Chicago State University. Wants and aspirations were extractedand translated into physical planning components. Recommendations for development were based on establishedinstitutional standards and identifiable needs.

An analysis of the place itself included a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the building and culturalenvironment, with the goal of achieving a campus that is beautiful as well as functional, where landscape andbuildings exist in balance and harmony. These qualities, when best combined, will lead to a physical environmentfostering an intellectual community.

“ I am steeled to facilitate the renaissance through which Chicago State University must pass, if it is to survive, and if we are to continueto be proud of our achievements in the new millennium.....As the new president, it is my goal to work with all entities of the university tomake CSU a world class institution of higher education.”

Dr. Elnora D. Daniel“Inaugural Address October 1999”

Executive Summary

The Chicago State University Master Plan will create a more compact campus and locate future buildingswithin closer proximity to one another, while parking and roadways generally fall to the periphery of the campus.The Master Plan effort will create distinct neighborhoods or districts on campus and greatly enhance the campusopen space system. In addition, the Plan will offer a strategy to establish structured parking, and arecommendation to begin to acquire surrounding underdeveloped/vacant land.

The near term plan (2008) consists of five new facilities, a reorganized campus entry, parking expansion,reorganized transit facilities, and reorganized athletic fields. The mid-range plan (2020) will include majorexpansions to the academic facilities, including Science and Technology, the Colleges of Business and Education, aMedia Arts Center, and student housing. The long-range plan (2050) will include continued expansion to academicprograms, an increase in residential housing on campus, and potentially new colleges.

Fueled by bold leadership and visionary planning, Chicago State University has already begun a grandtransformation in classrooms and conference rooms, in minds, hearts and imaginations, and most visibly in asignificant series of building and renovation projects that will help establish the university's position as a leader inurban higher education for the new millennium.

Key projects include the new technologically sophisticated state-of-the-art library, that will define the newgateway to the campus, and the new 7,000-seat convocation center, where the University will enhance itsprogramming with the broader community and the many community-based organizations that the University serves.Both of these projects were funded through a generous $100 million capital investment by the State of Illinois.

These capital projects represent only a hint of the growth on the institutional horizon, and they would notbe possible without the support of state and local legislators and many individuals who understand and believe inthe transformative power of Chicago State University. Special thanks go to the Illinois State Legislative BlackCaucus, the Illinois State General Assembly, the Illinois Delegation of the United States Congress, the Illinois CapitalDevelopment Board, and especially to the Illinois Senate President Emil Jones Jr. The University's gratitude for theirsupport is unbounded.

This remarkable $100 million capital investment is the first major investment the state has made inChicago State University in more than 30 years since the current campus was built. The redevelopment it funds willincrease the total campus square footage by more than 30 percent. It represents the first steps of a UniversityMaster Plan that extends well into the 21st century.

Of course, buildings and landscape are only an outward reflection of the intellectual pursuits that occurinside the University's walls. A beautiful campus is a reflection of the ideas and creativity blossoming in then mindof its students. Exciting enhancements will continue to occur in every academic college, as Chicago State Universitydiligently works to realize its vision as a center of academic excellence with a culturally diverse community ofscholars, and an environment where an open mind and experimentation motivate the full potential of its humanresources.

Chicago State University's Master Plan provides for a rapid response to educational change, where art,architecture and landscape will spark the imagination and move the spirit. This transformation will ensure that theUniversity continues to serve the academic, research and community service needs of the University's manyconstituencies well into the 21st century.

Summary of The Plan

CHICAGO STATE UNIVERSITY

THE PLAN

Chicago State University is located within the Roseland neighborhood on Chicago's South Side. Bounded by 95thStreet to the north, Martin Luther King Drive to the west, the Bishop Ford Expressway to the south, and the METRARailroad Line to the east, the campus is a center of academic excellence within a very vibrant residentialcommunity.

The campus has approximately 1.4 million square feet of developed space, located on 161 pristine acres. Thestrongest aesthetic feature of the campus is the wooded landscape that defines the perimeter along 95th Street andMartin Luther King Drive. The campus has a student body of approximately 7,200 students.

The master plan for the university campus has two primary goals: first, to accommodate and direct the given needsof the campus, and second, to create a framework to guide future growth that embodies the values and mission ofthis educational community. This plan proposes a series of concepts for organizing future development of buildings,athletic facilities, roads, pathways, transit, utility corridors, as well as guide the improvements to the campus openspace system. It should be viewed as a framework, which will guide future growth and future decision making.

The current campus facilities, designed and built mainly in the decade of the 1970's, are composed of 11 two-to-five story buildings. This campus design was envisioned as a single academic core focused on the science building,with academic facilities and administration facilities radiating out from this center. The buildings tend to beunconnected, few define meaningful open spaces and many of the buildings are oriented to the surface parking lotsrather than to each other. Additionally, many of the buildings are not welcoming to pedestrians in their design.

The Plan includes the following recommendations:

• The creation of a more compact campus• Future buildings located close to each other, with parking and roadways falling generally to the

periphery of the campus.• The creation of distinct neighborhoods or districts on campus.• A greatly improved campus open space system• A strategy to begin structured parking• A recommendation to begin to acquire surrounding lands

This plan is the first Long-Range Development Plan for Chicago State University. It is intended not only to directphysical improvements to the campus, but to add strength to the academic mission of the University.

PRINCIPLES

4. Achieve a diverse campus where development occurs in neighborhood districts...Where a broad range of overlapping campus activities create animation,inspiration and foster a vital campus life• Build in distinct neighborhoods or districts - ‘East, West, South and North’• Promote a diversity of uses to create a mix of students, faculty, staff and community• Provide spaces on campus that encourage community interaction• Provide buildings that include public spaces for events• Science expansion should include common space for the campus community• Future housing could orient to the neighborhood and the Woodlands Park• Food service and related amenities are encouraged• Adjacent community uses along 95th street are encouraged

6. Achieve a campus of easy connections and mobility...Where information is exchanged, and people of all ages can move easily andconveniently• Increase vehicle access points to campus to help distribute traffic• Improve access to transit opportunities• Rebuild and reposition Metra station in a central location, with both a north andsouth entry to the platforms• Improve the bus stop facilities along 95th Street and Martin Luther King Dr.• Clarify the service routes on campus and separate them from pedestrian walkways

• Strengthen the pedestrian walkway system• Minimize roadway and pedestrian conflicts• Combine Metra and CTA bus drop off to create a transit center on campus• Improve pedestrian connections to a new Metra station• Create a pedestrian tunnel/ overpass to Cottage Grove - connecting to future campus lands and parking• Incorporate ADA requirements into every building

5. Achieve a compact campus where buildings are clustered within neighborhoods

...Where the larger landscape of woods is protected, and the buildings form distinct neighborhoods and encourage a strong community • Develop at a higher density to create a strong sense of place• Each new building should strengthen the overall campus environment• The upcoming Financial Outreach Center to complete the student center quad• The proposed Conference Center to complete the convocation center quad• The future Child Care Facility to strengthen the ‘West’ district
