Rockhurst University’s Master Plan
for Campus Improvements
Strategic Planning
• Over eight months, Rockhurst University, the Kansas City planning department and the community worked together to create a 20-year master plan for campus development.
• These improvements are one part of the university’s 2007-2012 strategic plan.
• The next slides will outline some of the major projects that will commence in the next few years.
Phase 1: Troost Avenue Parking
Garage
• This mixed-use parking garage will be just north of Rockhurst Road on Troost Avenue.
• It will provide 400 parking spaces, in addition to bringing retail opportunities to the neighborhood.
• This development will move cars off the street, tie in with public transportation and provide economic opportunities.

Phase 2:Academic Building
• The academic building will be built on the Rockhurst campus, on what is now a parking lot.
• It will feature a 500-seat lecture hall, black box theatre and faculty offices.
• This will be a modern academic space that will enhance instruction and promote interaction spaces that keep students engaged.
Phase 2:Residence Hall
• A new residence hall will also be built next to the new academic building.
• This will provide more space for our growing population of students. Allowing them to live on-campus means they have more opportunities to be involved at Rockhurst.
• The residence hall will also feature up-to-date amenities.

Phase 3:Sedgwick Renovations
• Sedgwick Hall was the first building on the Rockhurst campus, opening in 1914, and it is an iconic symbol of the university.
• After the new academic building is in place, Sedgwick will undergo restoration.
• It will become the home of several administrative offices.
• Its entrance to Troost will be restored and made accessible.
Strategic Planning
• These physical improvements are being undertaken as part of the university’s overall strategic plan.
• The critical issues laid out in that plan are:– Transforming lives consistent with core Jesuit values– Enriching and building community– Ensuring financial strength and infrastructure strength– Establishing Rockhurst University’s identity and increasing
public awareness
