Campus Plan

Katzen Arts Center on Ward Circle

American University's Campus Plan is a "roadmap" that details proposals and objectives to enhance and build upon our campus facilities for the next decade.

American University’s 2011 Campus Plan was submitted on March 18, 2011 and is now available for review. The Campus Plan outlines projected facilities growth and campus enhancements for the coming decade. Eighteen months in the making and the focus of lively dialogue with our neighboring community, the plan reflects AU’s intent to strengthen its academic prestige, maintain our standing as an asset to Washington, DC, and honor a commitment to be an amenity to the surrounding community. Visit this site frequently to keep abreast of all the latest news and developments regarding the Campus Plan currently in the works.

We welcome the thoughts of our neighbors regarding the 2011 Campus Plan, so please review the plan draft and share your thoughts, suggestions, and questions. You can access the document and attachments online and respond at campusplan@american.edu.
