Elmhurst College, Master Plan

Wight was commissioned by Elmhurst College to embark on the visualization of a 20-year master plan that would expand the campus precinct and establish planning priorities for future facility implementation. The master plan outlines a sequential strategy for expanding facilities onto newly acquired property north of the existing campus. A pattern of exterior yards and formal quadrangle areas continues the traditional planning elements of the original campus concept. This system of “exterior rooms” gives both a formal structure and a sense of logical circulation throughout the college.
