Lawrence is working with Credo Design Architects to develop a new campus Master Plan.
As part of that process, all students, faculty, and staff were invited to complete a campus perception survey in June. Since that time, Credo has reviewed the survey responses, conducted a site, facilities, and interior space assessment of our facilities, and reviewed classroom use data in phase 1 of the planning process.
Representatives from Credo will be on campus next week to share what they have learned and get community feedback as we move into phase 2 of the process. Join us for one of these sessions to ask questions and share your feedback.
