Bastyr’s 2003 Campus Master Plan
In accordance with the “Special Study Area” requirement, Bastyr University prepared a campus master plan in 2003, which identified the overall vision for future growth and development of the campus. A comprehensive environmental impact statement (EIS) was prepared in conjunction with the master plan and accompanied it through the city’s review process. The extensive 18-month EIS process included conducting significant scoping and mitigation studies, preparing Draft EIS and Final EIS documents, and substantial public involvement. The Final EIS was approved and issued December 1, 2004; however, the master plan has yet to be adopted by the city.
Nonetheless, Bastyr’s 2003 master plan has served functionally to inform the growth and development of the campus over the past five years. In 2008, Bastyr will collaborate with the community and the city to revise and update its master plan, and move it through the process to have it officially adopted.
