The vision of Africa Renewal University is to build a world-class Christian University focused on leadership development with capacity for 4,000 students by 2024. In order to become a “world-class” evangelical university we need to offer our students more than a degree, we must add depth to their character, knowledge and spiritual lives so that they will become agents of transformation in their communities.

ARU wants to have world-class facilities so that we will attract world-class staff and students by a campus that inspires and fosters excellence in leadership development. Our plan is to build additional classroom and administrative space supported by a premier library that will promote academic growth and a chapel to inspire spiritual growth. We also plan to purchase additional land that will be used as a sports field for university activities and allow enough space to continue our agricultural program.

Africa Renewal University is in a strong position to make this great step to expand our capacity to equip Christian leaders. On December 12, 2012 the National Council for Higher Education (NCHE) in Uganda awarded Africa Renewal University a Letter of Interim Authority allowing us to begin promoting and building our university. By the end of 2013 we will be awarded a Provisional License from the NCHE, which gives us the ability to admit students into Bachelors degree programs. With our new status as a Private University it is confirmation of our vision to equip Christian leaders for every sector of society.

Africa Renewal University was founded by Africa Renewal Ministries, an indigenous ministry, which provides sponsorship for over 8,000 children and young adults. A number of these sponsored youth are already enrolled at ARU and it is our desire to afford an opportunity for each of them to attend ARU in the program of their choice. By ensuring that these young adults graduate from ARU we help break the cycle of poverty and dependency in addition to raising up a generation of young men and women with a heart for Christ and a passion to spread the hope of the Gospel to the nations.

At ARU we believe that the Gospel is the hope of the world and that ARU educated leaders will exert their influence in every area of society by proclaiming the Gospel message. Over the past 7 years we have had a tremendous impact equipping leaders for the church and with our new status we will now have an even deeper impact upon each student through our Bachelors degree programs. We also plan to broaden that impact as we train up social workers, child advocates, community health advisors, communications specialists, education professionals, guidance counselors, business leaders and a whole host of Christian leaders to create a Gospel movement across society.

1. Introduction

The purpose of this proposal is to invite you as our partner and co-laborer of the Gospel to join us in building Campus 2024 of Africa Renewal University. The transformation of the campus from 400 students to over 4,000 represents many challenges. The greatest being how this growth will be managed from this point on. In order to maximize the use of existing property and to ensure that all investments made in physical structures are cumulative we started by hiring an expert team with vast experience in university design here in Uganda. The Master Plan helped us to:

Take into consideration the phased growth of the campus ●Show the various phases of construction so they can be converted to ●the actual projects when appropriate to support that step of growth Consider the existing structures and ensure each phase is scalable; ●that is existing structures are used to their full extent.Show the potential donors, stake-holders and student the vision for the ●Campus 2024.

Based on the Master Plan ARU is asking all friends and partners in Uganda and around the world to make financial commitments for the first phase of this project. Phase One of our Master Plan build out will be the construction of a three-storied classroom block and student hostel, which will allow us to admit over 1,000 students. Upon receiving at least a 50% pledge for the first phase of construction ARU will create the plans, specifications and contractor (s) selection. Our goal is to break ground on the first phase of construction in September 2014. Today, we are asking our board members, staff and partners to consider making a pledge to this $2,988,575 Capital Campaign. Our goal is to receive 75% of the funds before we break ground and to have received the remaining amount by December 2014.

By partnering with us in this campus expansion Africa Renewal University will be firmly established to raise up generations of Christian leaders for years to come!

The overall goal of the master planning process is to create a plan that acts as a road map to future development that supports the academic mission of Africa Renewal University.

A well-formed master plan is a powerful tool for a University to meet its mission, but it should be realized that it is a document created at a certain time and place by certain selected individuals and based on available knowledge. It should therefore be seen as a living document that carries a certain weight based on the work and thought that went into it, but can be changed if needed.

Vision, Mission, and Goals

The physical development of a university should be an outgrowth of its academic mission and strategic vision. To this end the planning of the physical infrastructure should be generated out of, and must respond to this strategic vision. The master plan for 2024 was created in reference to the overall vision, mission, core values and goals of Africa Renewal University. They are listed below as expressed on ARU’s Website.

VISION – To establish a premier Christian university committed to equipping Christian leaders for the transformation of society

ARU MISSION STATEMENT - We commit ourselves to develop a new generation of Christian leaders whose lives are transformed by rigorous study of Scripture, impassioned love for God and faithful service to the nations as the body of Christ

CORE VALUES We are a CHRIST-CENTERED university ●We practice INTEGRITY and encourage ACCOUNTABILITY in ●every aspect of life We pursue EXCELLENCE by setting high standards in our ●academics and ministry We practice biblical STEWARDSHIP with our time, talents and ●treasuresWe embrace COMMUNITY by living and working in unity to fulfill ●God’s purpose for the body of ChristWe seek to develop a GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE of the body of ●Christ as we equip leaders for the developing African context

STRATEGIC GOALSTo develop unique programs with a Christian worldview ●embedded into the framework of each class To build a university campus that provides a model of our ●Christian worldview in the way we care for creation

2. Master Plan Goals and Process

To provide practical outlets for students to apply a Christian ●worldview through serving the community To become sustainable in providing Christian worldview training ●through recruiting excellent staff committed to producing quality graduatesTo transition supporters to partners and advocates as we ●collaborate to raise up the next generation of Christian leaders for Africa

Guiding Principles

To translate the vision, mission, core values and goals to statements specifically related to the physical development of the university, work sessions were held to generate Guiding Principles for the master plan. The Guiding Principles formulated in these meetings were then used to inform the design of the master plan and future building and landscape design.

The campus of Africa Renewal University should reflect a 1. Christian World View

God has entrusted us with the Stewardship of His creation ●Our life and work should reflect God’s care for order ●Unity of the Body of Christ ●The Campus should have a clear organization and order that a. reflects God’s order.The campus should reflect a mutual respect between leadership, b. staff and students. The leadership should be accessible and show care for the c. people that they are servingCampus must not be imposing or intimidatingd. Campus should have welcoming and warm spacese. The campus should be designed to have universal accessibly for f. people with disabilities and differences including age

ARU’s campus should reflect a strong academic culture through 2. the design of the buildings, outdoor spaces and integration of technology

The campus should be a reading environment and promote a. reading.There should be outdoor areas that are conducive to group study b. and individual readingInformation technology should be seemliness integrated into c. the campus and the overall campus design should plan for and accommodate global changes in TechnologyThe library should be located in a prominent place on the campus d. to emphasis the academic focus of the UniversityThe campus must provide indoor and outdoor informal learning e. environments.There should be a gradation of space from loud group to f. individual quiet spaces


Page - 7

There should be outdoor spaces that can accommodate classes g. to move outside on hot days. Small amphitheaters that are shaded or partially shaded would be idealDevelopment Studies should be reflected in the good organization h. and management of the campus environment

The campus should be an example of good Christian stewardship 3. of God’s creation, University resources and community through the design and operational maintenance of the grounds and buildings

The campus should be a living example of good stewardship.a. The campus materials should be low maintenance but • aesthetically appealing. Reduce mud through good pathways. This also reduces need for cleaning and reflects a good management of resourcesBuildings and grounds should be built with local materials • whenever possible to reduce cost and support the Ugandan economyThe campus should be energy efficient in every way possible, • through active and passive meansThe buildings should have good natural ventilation• The buildings and the spaces between the buildings should • have good acoustical management

Buildings should have ample natural light for a good learning and b. working environment and energy efficiency while protecting form too much direct sunlight, heat gain and rainUtilities and infrastructure should be well thought out and c. coordinated for effectiveness, longevity, ease of maintenance and future expansion

The campus should be beautiful and promote a strong supportive 4. Christian community

The buildings should be designed and built well to lasta. ARU Campus should be like a Garden of Edenb. ARU Campus should be clean c. ARU Campus should have places for prayerd. There should be outdoor areas for groups to gather and have e. fellowshipView of the Valley is important to be preserved and maximizedf.

The campus must be a safe and secure environment for students, 5. staff and visitors

There must be a balance between an open environment and a. privacy and securityThe campus and buildings should be designed to protect from b. theft, vandalism and personal injury

The campus boundary should have a secure fence and gates• Pathways and buildings should have adequate lighting levels• Buildings should have good burglar-proofing• CCTV camera system should be installed at strategic locations •


Page - 8

around the campusThe campus should have a well-developed fire protection system.c. Sewage and trash must be processed properly to maintain public d. healthThe health clinic should be staffed 24/7 to handle emergenciese.

ARU should be a good neighbor and support the Buloba 6. community

Medical Centrea. Medical center should primarily serve the ARU community but • be located at the campus perimeter to potentially serve the Buloba community

Sports facilities should be made available for the Buloba and b. larger Ugandan communities for eventsStorm water, sewage and trash should be processed properly so c. as not to affect the neighbors adversely

No building or space on the current campus is sacred or must be 7. preserved, but the campus development should be phased in a way to maximize the use of the existing buildings

Campus master plan should be able to be phased in an efficient a. way to maximize use of the existing facilitiesNo existing building is sacred or has high historical or cultural b. value and therefore can be demolished if it is determined that there is a better use for its location

The sports fields and recreational spaces should be integrated 8. into the campus design to enhance the campus environment

Football pitch should have built in stadium seating to support a. graduation and large eventsThe sports facilities accessible by the outside community on a b. controlled basis that does not compromise security

The campus should support areas of revenue generation other 9. than student fees

There should be an area for retail space that is constructed by the a. University and leased out to private vendors. These could include small shops, canteens, salons, copy centers, etc. These can be located at the student center and other locations according to the master planThe campus community worship center should be designed to b. support conferencing activitiesThe sports fields and support facilities should be designed to c. accommodate outside groups renting the facilities for eventsA Day Care should be provided primarily for staff but open to d. community

Future development should be well planned and designed in 10. accordance with the master plan

The master plan shows the general plan for future development. a. Specific development of individual buildings, site development or utility infrastructure should explore and address specific design,


Page - 9

programmatic and site concerns not addressed in detail in the master plan.The master plan should be reviewed at least on an annual basis b. to confirm that it is consistent with current priorities and changing conditions at ARUAny changes to the master plan should not be ad hoc but c. reviewed carefully and only implemented if in they are in conformance with the vision and mission of ARU and coordinated with the total master planChanges should only be made to the master plan if approved by d. the highest governing body of the university

Targeted 10 Year Goals for Africa Renewal University

In addition to the Guiding Principles specific 10 year targeted goals were established and use to generate the quantitative space needs for the master plan. The specific targeted goals are listed below.

Target growth to 4,000 students by 2024 ●Achieve the “acceptable” space standards of the National Council ●for Higher Education (NCHE) as a minimum for the entire campusAdd 2-3 new academic programs through the NCHE per year. ●Class intakes of 50 students per program per class. This allows ●a manageable university size class and enough students so that ARU can afford high caliber staff in every classroomProvide student housing on campus for 2,000 students ●Construction of a Chapel is a priority and will be pursued ●independently of phasing for the rest of the campus


Page - 10

3. Student ProjectionsA number of factors made it into the decision to target an enrollment of 4,000 Students by 2024:

We looked at the number of programs that we desire to offer at ARU ●and gave a reasonable timeline for the development of each program. From our experience with the NCHE we committed to 2-3 new programs per year for our first 10 years. Next we looked for an economic model, which would give us a ●reasonable number of students per each program that would be manageable for the lectures and also financially sustainable. We reached a conservative estimate of 50 students per program. Finally we will begin 2014 with 5 programs because that is the number ●of programs that the NCHE approved in our first year of operations as a university.

*Bachalors Degrees in Uganda are three year degrees. Therefore overall student enrollment is projected out over three years for each existing and new program.

A conservative approach was taken to Student Fee Projections:

We assumed that ARU would begin on the lowest scale of Student ●Fees in comparison to other universities in Uganda. We made this assumption realizing that we will have to establish a sound reputation before students and parents are willing to pay top fee prices for ARU education.We assumed a conservative Student Fee increase each year. Over ●the last decade Public and Private Universities in Uganda have been raising their fees an average of 15% each year. Not knowing whether universities can continue this trend we estimated a 10% student fee increase each year.

7. Campus Master Plan for 2024

Master Plan Program Summary Page 1

Approach and ProcessBased on the discussions with the master planning committee and the stated targeted goals listed above a space needs assessment was generated to project the amount of space needed to support a population of 4,000 students, 2,000 of them residential students. The space needs assessment took the form of a master plan program. The space program was then projected out over four phases based on enrollment projections to 2024. The space program was also used to generate a cost model using per square

Master Plan Studies

A series of master planning studies were done to test whether the existing campus area could support the buildings and facilities needed for 4,000 students. From these studies master plan options were developed and presented and evaluated by the master planning committee in a series of work sessions. Through these work sessions a preferred master plan was selected and developed.

Master Plan Organization

The master plan organizes the campus around two main zones: the main academic zone and the student life zone. The upper part of the campus is organized around two intersecting green spaces to form an “L” shaped main quad. At the lower side of the quad are the Dining Hall and the Student Center. These two buildings are the intersection of the academic quad and the student dorms and sports areas. This organization enables quiet academic areas to remain relatively protected from more noisy student life activities. The main public side of ARU is located at the upper part of the campus. A new road and parking is proposed to create a through path to the adjacent road. The administration building is located near the entry and next to the parking to act as the from door to the other campus areas. The chapel is the other building that is located near the main gate and parking so that the larger community can use the it without having to go deep into the campus.

9. Master Plan Phasing and Cost EstimatesThe master plan was developed to meet a student population of 4,000, including 2,000 residential students by the year 2024. To meet this growth, the phasing is broken down into four phases. The first phase is approximately two years. Phases Two, Three and Four are each three years. Each phase has a balance of academic, administrative, student life, support, sports and infrastructure projects so that no one phase over builds or under builds any given aspect of the campus. The one project that was determined to be outside any real phasing is the chapel. It has been shown in Phase Three but could be built in any phase depending on available funds. It is assumed that the funding for the chapel will be pursued independently of the overall fund raising for ARU.

MethodologyThe campus master plan was envisioned to be phased in such a way

as to maximize the use of the existing buildings in Phase One and Two. While it always desirable to preserve and re-purpose existing buildings in the spirit of good stewardship, the existing classroom, administration and hostel buildings were not constructed very well and already have had significant corrective work performed on them. Therefore they will be kept in service but replaced as the campus develops. In addition to support 4,000 students on the current property a more dense multi story building approach must be used. The current existing buildings are all one level buildings and therefore do not use the land very efficiently. ARU currently uses a significant portion of the campus for agricultural use. The phased development seeks to preserve this function as long as practicable but eventually all agricultural production will have to be moved off campus.

Time FrameThe time frame for the full build out by 2024 is aggressive but

achievable. The phasing was developed so that multiple projects could be constructed at the same time with minimal disruption to on-going academic operations.

Cost EstimatesThe cost estimates were developed from square foot costs based on historic experience of construction in Uganda. Some infrastructure projects did not use square foot costs but are based on equipment and building costs. Benchmarking at similar institutions and on other projects was used to develop the construction and project costs. Costs for each project are expressed as overall project costs and include soft cost such as, architecture and engineering fees, permitting, furniture and equipment, IT infrastructure, and contingency. Overall or non project specific infrastructure costs are carried at 5% of the overall project cost. This accounts for utility lines, site lighting, pathways, etc. An escalation factor of 10% per year was used to account for increased construction costs over time. This escalation is based on historical experience of inflation increase of building costs in Uganda.

Gross Area

Phase One aims to address immediate needs to support a student population of up to 1,150. The first building project will be a new three level classroom building. Once constructed two existing classrooms will be renovated into desperately needed administrative and faculty offices. The next major building project is for a new 250 bed student hostel. This is to maintain provision of accommodations for approximately 1/3 of the student body as ARU grows.

In addition the site infrastructure needs to be up-graded and expanded to support the increased student population. A new main power substation and water tank will be built to handle the increased electrical and water demands. The generator will be sized to provide power to the whole university up through phase two when an additional generator can be purchased for the next two phases. A new water storage tank will added each phase to address increased water needs.

To support recreation for the students and large outdoor functions like graduation, a soccer field and stadium seating will be built. A new entry road and parking will be built to meet growing parking needs. To enable the campus road to be built an additional piece of property is planned to be purchased.

Phase Two will further expand the academic capacity with a new classroom and library building. The library will house the main IT servers and distribution network. To also support changes in learning and library research the computer labs will be located in the library building. The hostels will be expanded to accommodate a total of 1,000 students on campus. This will meet the desired goal of housing 1/2 the student population. A the first phase of a new student dining hall will be built to handle the increased student population. The existing dining hall with be converted into a large lecture room with minimal renovation costs. A new administration building will also be built to provide adequate space for the expected growth in the administrative staff. A facilities maintenance and stores building will be built for the growing maintenance needs.

Infrastructure will also be expanded. An additional 25,000 Lt. water tank will be installed a new security gate house will also be built to provide for the increased security personnel.

To further expand the recreation for the students a basket ball and volley ball court will be built. Lastly the second phase of the parking will be built adding an additional 85 spaces for a total of 160 spaces.

The third classroom building will be built to accommodate the 2,500 students projected in phase three. Another hostel will be built for an additional 500 students. While this will provide beds for more than half the students it anticipates the growth in phase four. A student center will be built in phase three to provide on campus retail spaces, meeting rooms, changing rooms for the sports fields and other spaces to support student life on campus. The retail spaces will be revenue generating to help pay for the building over time. A dedicated health clinic will be built. It will primarily provide services to ARU but will be located at the periphery of the campus to potentially serve the larger Buloba community. Worker housing will be provided for some essential maintenance and security staff to reside on campus in the event of an emergency.

The soccer stadium will be expanded to handle larger gatherings and another basket ball / volley ball court will be built to support recreation. An additional 25,000 Lt. tank will be installed.

As stated before, a Chapel for approximately 2,000 people was planned in the master plan but will be funded separately so is accounted for separately in this phase (see table below). If money is available the Chapel could be built in any phase.
