POCATELLO — Representatives from the SmithGroup, a firm that Idaho State University has engaged with since November 2023 to develop a comprehensive campus master plan, will visit each of its campuses Monday through Wednesday to present a draft preliminary master plan for all of its primary campus locations.

The draft preliminary plan is a combination of three proposed options presented in April, following their review and assessment of the entire physical campus and the utilization of all university spaces, along with additional feedback gathered from campus and community members.

The schedule is: 

— Monday: — Meridian.

— Classroom 681/682 | 2 p.m.

— Tuesday: — Idaho Falls.

— BSUB 232A | 2:30 to 4 p.m.

—Wednesday: — Pocatello.

— ICCU Bengal Alumni Center | 3:15 to 5:45 p.m.

The Facilities Campus Master Plan will develop a framework for future campus development that will shape the future of ISU's physical campuses, including the determination of spaces it needs, how it uses and develops its land, and how it presents itself publicly with its campus look and feel.

Your participation and input are vital to inform the direction of this planning effort as ISU plans the future of its campuses. The August visit will be the final opportunity for all of ISU's stakeholders to provide feedback. ISU believes that by working together, everyone can create a campus environment that truly reflects the aspirations and needs of the community.
