1. BACKGROUND AND INTRODUCTION In June 1999, the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois approved the South Campus Master Plan. The major emphasis of this 2,620acre plan was to accommodate new research facilities and land growth necessary for the College of Agricultural, Consumer, and Environmental Sciences (ACES). The University’s ability to secure new land and facilities for agricultural research and development will affect the opportunity to reassign the land that is currently used by the College of ACES to research, technology, and academic needs. Planning Need The project area is 680 acres of land bounded by St. Mary’s Road on the north, Lincoln Avenue on the east, Windsor Road on the south, and Neil Street on the west. The 1999 plan for this update project area primarily dealt with a South Research Park (50 acres), which had been approved by the Board of Trustees, and a few known academic needs. Future land use priorities for the remaining acres in this zone were left for another day when the true needs of the research park and campus would be better known. Planning Intent The Board of Trustees has authorized a new focus on economic development and has acted purposefully to put new administrative structures and processes in place to streamline and accelerate the transfer of research-based technology to create new economic enterprises for the State of Illinois. The State of Illinois/University/Corporate Partnership for Economic Development is the driving force to take a fresh new look at providing a 25year vision for this planning update.
