Implementing the Plan The UNK administration and Office of Facilities Management and Planning will use this master plan to guide campus landscape improvements for a significant period into the future. Some of the project recommendations such as the recon- struction of the central fountain and its plaza and the proposed green spaces and connections in the Northeast Village, can be started as soon as funding is identi- fied. These initial projects will have a significant impact and generate excitement for achieving the plan’s vision. Many of the other proposed projects require signifi- cant facilities changes to facilitate the opportunity such as: the addition of parking garages, the removal of one or more buildings, the realignment of a road, or the construction of a new building. This plan identifies and prioritizes both the initial and long term projects, with budget estimates for each. To advance the proposed projects, funding must first be identified and then design contracts let for the de- velopment of master plan concepts into construction documents.
