Campus Plan

Campus Plan Open House

Thank you to the more than 300 participants who participated in the Open House Vision and Priorities session held Wednesday, Oct. 8. We will share a complete report of our findings in November 2025.

Project Timeline

The campus plan creation process will be conducted in four phases: 

• Information Gathering and Needs Assessment Spring–Summer 2025
• Vision and Priorities Fall 2025 
• Strategies and Alternatives Winter 2025  
• Baruch College Campus Plan Spring 2026 

Upcoming Engagement Touchpoints

During the Fall 2025 semester, the Campus Planning team gathered information for the “Vision and Priorities” phase of the plan via the online survey, an Open House, and small discussion groups. We are incorporating this valuable feedback and lessons into our next phase, “Strategies and Alternatives.”

We will be back on campus Spring 2026, so stay tuned for event details. Join us to make your ideas known.
