Facilities Management

CSU Monterey Bay’s campus plans guide continued redevelopment of the former Fort Ord site through a Board of Trustees–approved Campus Master Plan and supporting functional plans (e.g., stormwater, landscape, and habitat management). The Master Plan provides a framework for physical development through 2035, planning for an on-campus enrollment of 12,700 Full time equivalent students and 1,776 Full time equivalent faculty/staff and approximately 2.6 million gross square feet of net new space spanning academics, student life, recreation, institutional partnerships, and housing. It also includes design features focused on open space, utilities, and sustainability—such as strengthening transportation demand management to reduce vehicle trips and prioritize walking and bicycling.

 

Master Plans

In 2015, California State University, Monterey Bay (CSUMB) initiated a process to update its campus master plan. The new plan builds on earlier planning efforts that facilitated the transition of the campus from the former Fort Ord Army Base, to a 21st-century setting for teaching, learning and research. The master plan process considered a wide range of issues encompassing the academic environment, student and residential life, sustainability, mobility and infrastructure systems, and connections with Monterey Bay communities.

In 2017 the campus posted a Campus Master Plan and accepted public comment. The plan and meeting notes can be found on the Master Plan 2017 page.
