About the Consultants

The Campus Master Plan that was approved by the Board of Regents in May 2005 has been aggressively followed.  In fact, we have completed 67% of the projects in the implementation plan and have several more in design or construction at this time as evidenced by all the construction fencing and project sites.  Because of this, we felt the master plan needed to be re-evaluated and updated to guide us thru the remaining 5 years of the plan.

Broaddus Planning, already under contract with the Texas State University System office, is helping us with the update.
