The Campus Plan will guide the development of Bryn Mawr College's built environment and physical campus in the coming years. Decisions regarding the allocation of resources will be informed by this document and the strategic planning that has gone into its development. The Campus Plan is a realistic and feasible plan for the College based on the long-standing planning that has formed the campus character and physical environment. It shows the implementation and logical progression of the evolution of the College in the 21st century. This Campus Plan provides a framework for land use, open space, development, and circulation. Within this framework, the College will prepare and update capital outlay improvement and development plans for specifically identified projects.

The Bryn Mawr College Campus Plan will include:

• An analysis of the existing campus conditions
• Recommendations for proposed demolitions, renovations, and new buildings
• Open space and circulation improvements that enhance the campus experience
• Any sustainability and resiliency initiatives
• Updated guidelines for campus architecture andlandscape

The plan provides a 10-year roadmap that evaluates the existing campus and reimagines our campus in the future. The plan will provide the College with the flexibility to explore opportunities with local and regional partners, enabling us to address the campus's physical evolution and optimize our physical spaces.  

The Bryn Mawr College Campus Plan will honor the planning and architectural history of the campus and use the historical context as a framework for future development that serves the needs of current and future students.

The Bryn Mawr College Board of Trustees approves the final campus plan.

The campus planning process is based on a series of interactive and intensive workshops. During each workshop, the planning team engages members of the Bryn Mawr community in dialogue, fact-finding, and decision-making. Each workshop spans multiple days and includes interview sessions, workshops, and open forums. Workshops are a blend of presenting ideas to groups with listening to feedback to continuously evolve the plan’s development.

We want to hear from everyone, including faculty, staff, students, parents,alumni, and the community. Bryn Mawr is committed to providing an inclusive planning process designed to engage the campus and its community. There are opportunities to provide input and feedback throughout the process, so please continue to check back here for updates and send us your feedback on our contact page.
