Campus Framework Plan

The Campus Framework Plan will define the parameters for future campus changes and will guide decision-making around land, space planning, facility renewal, fundraising, and daily campus activities. The Framework will be a flexible roadmap, and the planning process will empowers us to explore a range of possibilities and make the most effective use of our resources – especially space. Transparent and collaborative conversation will enable us to address challenges and build on the campus’s strengths.   

Expected to wrap up in summer 2025, this effort will involve comprehensive review and update of our long-term campus framework, and will include input from stakeholders across campus. Subject matter experts will play critical roles in shaping priorities related to specific topic areas. Hearing from many voices will ensure we remain aligned with the University’s strategic mission while meeting the evolving needs of our community. 

Enhancing our built environment is essential to ensuring more consistent student experiences and achieving excellence in research, scholarship, teaching, and learning. Moreover, by better connecting our campuses to our broader sense of shared community, we can make Boston University a premier destination for students, faculty, and staff. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us.

Survey

As we look forward to the next quarter-century at BU, we know that our spaces will continue to adapt to the needs of a busy, ambitious, and varied University community. We want to hear from you, to help us plan. How do you use our campuses? Where do you work, learn, and gather with friends, peers, and coworkers? How do you get around? Please fill out this survey by Friday, November 14, 2025.

Your answers will be kept private. After taking the survey, you can enter for a chance to win a prize including: a pair of tickets to the men’s or women’s Beanpot hockey tournament (estimated cash value $300), or one of ten $100 Amazon gift cards. Taxes, where applicable, are the sole responsibility of the winner. You have the option to accept the prize or not. One winner for each prize will be selected at random from all entries after the close of the survey. Winners will be contacted via email and will be required to confirm their intent to accept the prize within two weeks. Failure to respond will be deemed a refusal of the prize and another recipient will be selected until all incentives have been claimed.

Your input is essential. We look forward to hearing your ideas and working together to build an even stronger BU.
