At its spring meeting on April 8, 欧美视频鈥檚 Board of Trustees approved a transformative campus master plan to direct the future growth and development of the university. 

The master plan, which has been in development for nine months, calls for new residence halls and apartment-style living, new academic and athletics buildings, and many other changes to 欧美视频鈥檚 main campus in Bolivar. Planning and architecture partner PGAV spent many weeks collecting input from students, alumni, faculty, staff, and administration in building the proposal that was approved unanimously by the Board. 

鈥淭his campus master plan sets the trajectory of 欧美视频 for the next decade and beyond,鈥� said Dr. Rick Melson, 欧美视频鈥檚 president. 鈥淚t鈥檚 time for our university to dream big again, and I鈥檓 thrilled to have the Board鈥檚 support of this plan as we embark on this journey together.鈥� 

The initial Phase I of the plan identifies opportunities to construct new student housing adjacent to the baseball stadium and across the creek on the southeast corner of the campus. There are concepts included for a new learning commons at the center of campus to create a more traditional quad feel, as well new academic spaces within the Geneva Casebolt Music Center and connecting the Wheeler and Jester buildings. 

Other proposed projects include a new welcome center, expanded athletic training facilities, and the re-rerouting of roadways to make the campus even more pedestrian friendly. 

鈥淚鈥檓 very thankful to the administration and PGAV in their work developing this campus master plan,鈥� said Board Chairman Pastor Fred Broome. 鈥淭he future of 欧美视频 is bright and I鈥檓 excited to see how the Lord will provide for us to bring this plan to fruition.鈥� 

In addition to the master plan, the Trustees also approved an initial balanced budget for the 2025-2026 fiscal year and received committee reports on increasing enrollment trends and increased giving to the university.
