Comprehensive Campus Plan

The University has partnered with Boston-based Sasaki Associates to develop a Comprehensive Campus Plan that will serve as a roadmap for improving URI’s campuses over the next 10 years and beyond.

The campus plan will support the University’s mission and strategic vision, as well as embody the aspirations of the broader community, resulting in a plan that is insightful, visionary, and authentic to URI.
