Miller said the campus master plan has been enacted, and that one of the most significant changes students will see on campus as a result of the plan is the possible addition of a new, multi- mi llion-dollar Life Sciences complex. “Decisions being made about the future of the campus now are done with the master plan,” Miller said. Austin Main, project manager for the Save Hotard campaign last spring and a junior poul try science major, said he has been unhappy with the campus master plan because it unnecessarily closed low-cost student housing, such as Hotard Hall, which is being allowed to remain open this year only after student lobbying last semester. “1 personally would not have given the plan an award,” Main said. “I think some parts of it are good, but there are some things they could have done better with and got some student input on.” Main said the plan lacked student involve ment and that it is not staying with the goals of Vision 20/20. Under the new campus master plan, several dorms will be closed in upcoming semesters, and new ones will not be rebuilt for at least five years. “One of the goals of Vision 20/20 is to have more on-campus living, and they are not planning on building any on-campus residence halls any time soon,” Main said. Main said the campus master plan would have been better had the steering committee researched all the alternatives and sought input from students. Miller said this plan shows that A&M is planning its future, and is always striving to ward excellence. “What we’re hoping with this plan is that it will bring to the campus the level of excellence we see in our students,” Miller said. “We want the cam pus to reflect the quality of the University. When people are walking across campus, we want them to immediately sense the spirit, traditions and ex cellence of the University.” Miller said she hopes A&M’s plan will have an effect on other universities nationwide. “We have already been contacted by other uni versities to see our master plan so that they can get ideas,” Miller said.
