Preserve/Enhance/Transform

- Detail:
- To kick-off the master planning process, the planning team brainstormed with many faculty, staff, students, Kent residents, and Board of Trustee members on what are the most pressing issues. In six on-campus meetings with over 450 participants and an online platform with over 1,200 hits, participants were asked to identify places on the Kent campus that fit these categories:
- Preserve (green dots): areas you like very much and want to preserve
- Enhance (yellow dots): areas that do not currently add to campus in a meaningful way but could if they were enhanced
- Transform (red dots): areas that are missed opportunities that need a complete transformation
- Over 1,250 actual and virtual dots were placed on existing campus maps. The resulting patterns are quite clear. Kent campus users love the character of the Front Campus and the Gateway. Opportunities for improvement are in the Glauser School of Music, White Hall, the old Art Building, and the Student Center.
