Campus Stewardship

As stewards for the campus this office oversees all physical planning, design and construction for campus renewal and improvements and the data and documentation related to all of this.  The work of the groups within Campus Stewardship includes: capital planning, facilities assessments, land and transportation planning, leasing and strategic real property management, project delivery (planning, design, and construction), campus spatial data and document management (GIS, floor plans planning data, and project documents), campus standards and guidelines, and campus master planning.

The challenge of our task is to deliver the vision of the University leaders, respond to the needs of individual campus users, while preserving and enhancing the character and integrity of the campuses of the Âé¶¹app.  While the Durham campus is the primary focus, the office of Campus Stewardship provides support and guidance for all University lands and locations including: Concord, Manchester, New Castle, and the Isle of Shoals.  We serve as the link to our host communities and the Authorities Having Jurisdiction related to all physical planning, design and construction; and we coordinate with USNH for all reporting to the Board of Trustees for the Campus Master Plan, 6 Year Campus Facilities Plan, and 2 Year Campus Project Schedules.

UNH Planning, Design and Construction Guidelines

The University maintains these guidelines to provide designers and builders with our expectations from broad planning principles to technical standards for a multitude of building components.

Space Management

Is a core component of the Campus Planning group focused on space needs and opportunities across campus.  This is accomplished by working with university entities to define their needs explore options, and offer recommendations.  Maintaining the space data base and contribution to the Annual SAARC Improvement Process are essential to responding to specific need requests as well as providing an overview of all space needs to campus leadership.

Campus Master Plan

The comprehensive Campus Master Plan provides the road map for decisions related to the priorities for capital renewal and improvements, land use, space utilization, and campus infrastructure.  The office of Campus Stewardship is responsible for managing the process of updating the Campus Master Plan as required by USNH Board of Trustee policy.
