University Park Master Plan

Penn State is a historic Land Grant institution with an enrollment of 88,000 full and part-time students and twenty-four properties across the Commonwealth. The University Park Campus is the oldest and largest campus in Penn State’s system, with approximately 7,000 acres, 600 buildings, and which includes over 20 million gross square feet. There are approximately 49,000 students and 16,000 full-time faculty and staff.

The purpose of this planning effort is the development of a Comprehensive and Strategic Campus Master Plan (Master Plan) for Penn State’s University Park Campus (UP). Building upon the physical framework established during the last campus-wide master planning effort in 1999 and its update in 2005, the Master Plan must take into consideration the many new developments, district-level studies, and various planning efforts that have occurred since its conception.
