Western Kentucky University improves campus planning with Gensler across 5 stakeholder-informed planning areas

Western Kentucky University partnered with Gensler to create a new campus master plan. The challenge was to develop a visionary roadmap focused on enhancing the overall student experience, which involved improving campus operations, addressing deferred maintenance, and upgrading learning technology and infrastructure.

Gensler's solution involved extensive stakeholder engagement and a complete assessment of the existing campus. The resulting master plan provided specific recommendations, including decommissioning outdated buildings, making strategic investments, and identifying opportunities for new facilities with detailed site and program plans. Through this process, Gensler helped Western Kentucky University create a plan designed to boost student safety, enhance communication, and improve student learning across the campus.
