Housing Master Plan

Lewis & Clark is embarking on a comprehensive Housing Master Plan to renovate, upgrade, and potentially expand the residential community over the next ten years.

To develop a strategic plan by the end of May 2017, the College engaged Mahlum Architects, a local firm with extensive campus planning experience, award-winning design of vibrant student housing facilities, comprehensive analytics related to market conditions, and financial performance and experience in the development of capital prioritization and sequencing strategies.  

Mahlum, together with Anderson Strickler, a market and financial analysis consulting firm, have already begun working to assess the conditions of our current housing stock, developing an instrument to determine student satisfaction and demand, and preparing market and financial analysis.  

However, before moving these planning efforts into high gear, the College wants to hear from students, faculty, and staff. 

The following focus groups are designed as opportunities to collect ideas and questions to help chart the future of campus living:
