• In December 2003, The University of Iowa (UI) retained Sasaki Associates, Inc. of Watertown, Massachusetts, to assist the University in addressing a wide range of campus planning issues.
• In 2004, ISES Corporation was retained by the University to evaluate the condition of general fund buildings.
• This is the first time a Facilities Condition Analysis (FCA), which describes detailed analysis of deficiencies and corresponding scopes of work and costs for corrections and modification, has been conducted.
• During 2004 and 2005, Sasaki Associates, Inc. provided guidance and site selection for the Campus Recreation and Wellness Center, capacity studies for the Health Sciences Campus, site selection for the proposed College of Public Health building, and a capacity study for the Seashore Hall block.
• Sasaki Associates, Inc. and representatives of Facilities Management conducted over 125 interviews with deans, faculty, department chairs, student representatives, administration, University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics (UIHC) representatives, University planning staff, local government officials, and Iowa City and Coralville city planners.
• The 2006 Campus Master Plan is the first in the history of the UI to forecast growth by taking into account the academic needs of the Colleges.

• Land areas in the Campus Master Plan total approximately 1700 acres (2.8 square miles).
• The main campus spans over three miles from downtown Iowa City to the Hawkeye Campus.
• The total gross square feet of buildings, including UIHC, is 16.4 million.
• The total number of buildings on campus, including UIHC, is 265.
• The Hawkeye Campus is 647 acres; areas developed with buildings and parking only comprise about 15% of the Hawkeye Campus.
• The UIHC building complex spans nearly 2,000 feet north to south.
• Two large and undeveloped sites that do not have well defined long-term uses are 49.5 acres of agricultural land north of Melrose Avenue, west of Hawkeye Park Road, and significant acreage scattered among existing buildings at the Oakdale Research Campus.
• Total deferred maintenance of general fund buildings is approximately $167 million. Of this amount, three buildings (Main Library, Chemistry Building and Oakdale Hall) account for nearly half of the total.
• The total additional building capacity of all the UI Land Use Districts is approximately 5 million gross square feet (GSF).  

• From 1998 to 2005, approximately 2.4 million GSF of new building space has been added to the campus, including UIHC, and nearly 1.4 million GSF of campus building renovations and 440,000 GSF of UIHC renovations and space fit-out has occured.
• Total new and renewed space since 1998 is about 4.2 million GSF, or 30% of the total existing campus physical plant.
• Currently there are about 535,000 GSF of new projects in the planning phase including Campus Recreation and Wellness Center, State Hygienic Laboratory, College of Public Health building, Library Storage Facility, and Liberal Arts & Sciences building.
• Since World War II, growth has remained relatively consistent with an average rate of about 250,000 GSF of new space per year. This is a growth rate similar to UI peer institutions.
• Space at the UIHC accounted for about 15% of the growth in new space and 25% of the renovations.

• Combined with projects already in planning, the total facilities program in the next ten years could total 2.1 to 2.4 million GSF.
• Growth in University facilities will continue, albeit it at a slower pace than in the last seven years. UI and peer institution growth is trending toward a slower rate of growth than has been the case in the decades since World War II.
• Future significant redevelopment opportunities are identified for the Main Campus that amount to approximately 4.25 million GSF of additional capacity. Locations for new facilities include the Seashore Hall block, the river site south of the English Philosophy Building, the Health Sciences Campus, the International Center site, and the area south of Burlington Street that will host the new Campus Recreation and Wellness Center .
• Five buildings at Oakdale require other major renovation or replacement in years to come including Oakdale Hall, Oakdale Studio A, the Technology Innovation Center, the Physiology Laboratory and the Institute for Rural and Environmental Health. These buildings total 310,000 GSF or 3/5 of all space at the Oakdale Campus.
• Future area plans will be developed for the UIHC Master Plan, a redevelopment for the Seashore Hall area, and plans for the future development of medical laboratories on the Health Sciences Campus.

These figures represent the space available within these areas of campus for future development.

• Parking space is projected to grow by 1,622 new spaces by 2011.
• 2,740 commuter spaces are located in the Hancher, Finkbine, Arena and Hawkeye lots. 81% of the permits issued for commuter lots are issued to UI employees.
• Most employees on both the East and West Campuses park at least 600 feet from their buildings.
• It is expected that though the size of the workforce is not projected to increase, the number of workers participating in commuter options (parking permits, vanpool and bus pass options) could grow from 70% participating to 82% by 2011.
• CAMBUS provides services for nearly four million riders per year.
