UNM Master Plan Update
Community Outreach has been a focus of the Master Plan Update. We have striven to engage the community in our planning efforts. The consulting firm selected to assist with the Master Plan Update, Dekker Perich Sabatini, as a local architecture & planning firm, has strong connections to our community.

Public Meetings: Beginning in August 2008 meetings, interviews and charrettes with key stakeholders: students, faculty, staff, city & county officials, CNM, Neighborhood Associations and more were held for information and input into the Master Plan Update.
Master Plan Public Comment: Starting in August 2009 the Comprehensive Master Plan Update was made available for public comment.
On-going Neighborhood Outreach: UNM is committed to continuing engagement and outreach to the neighborhoods surrounding the campus.
- PCD conducts on-going updates and presentations with the Federation of University Neighborhoods (FUN) and other Neighborhood Associations on issues regarding development of the campus and its impact on the neighborhoods.
- Currently, we are working with City Councilor Isaac Benton to define how to improve "Town-Gown" relationships. Councilor Benton proposed a Resolution to the City Council in February 2010 to identify funds to begin working together on a transit project.
Campus Development Advisory Committee (CDAC): CDAC serves as an advisory board to the Provost and the Faculty Senate regarding issues relating to the physical environment of the campus as they contribute to and affect the mission, goals and quality of life at the University.
The CDAC reviews initiatives that will result in a physical alteration to the campus fabric. The types of projects that fall under the Committee's review include:
- Site selection for new buildings or other space development;
- Placement of new buildings on a site;
- Site development for buildings or landscape architectural projects such as plazas, open space areas, recreational areas, pedestrian zones, parking lots;
- General character, size, massing and materials of proposed new buildings;
- Proposed alterations to historic elements of the campus;
- Plans for changes to the patterns of access and circulation systems on campus, and as these connect to city systems;
- Issues regarding the Campus Master Plan.
