PROGRAM NEEDS

- The amount of available land within the campus master plan boundaries north of St. Mary’s Road is adequate to accommodate the next 50-80 years of new building construction at the historic rate of growth. Research Park Comparisons - Build-out at five other comparable Big Ten research parks has averaged seven acres/ year. - Build-out at the two most aggressive Big Ten research parks has averaged 13 acres/ year. - The 230 acres of land programmed for the UIUC South Center of the Research Park would be adequate for 25 years if research park development occurs at an average rate of 9.2 acres/year.

Nineteen University-related units occupy, or are interested in occupying, facilities within the project area. The largest of these units are the South Center of the Research Park, the College of Veterinary Medicine, the College of ACES, the Division of Intercollegiate Athletics, the State Surveys, the Illinois Fire Service Institute, and the Division of Campus Recreation. A program for the study area was developed based upon input and direction from current and future stakeholders. Two comparisons were completed to confirm that the acreages established for both academic and related uses and the research park were adequate. Academic Growth - In the past century, the Urbana-Champaign campus (UIUC) has averaged 1,040,000 gross square feet of new building construction per decade.
