The scope of work for this project involved planning and design of site improvements for future development for the 450 acre campus, as well as, acquisition of adjacent properties with value to the University and recommendations for future satellite campus programs. Service also included assisting the various colleges program for future facilities in excess of 1,000,000 square feet.

A new landscape design was developed for the campus to reduce maintenance cost and the use of natural resources.  The central mall sectors have become oasis areas with lush landscaping. As the site extends to the perimeters, plant materials transition to xeriscaping and native desert tress, shrubs and flora. Perimeter planting is small areas of grass at corners and intersections supplemented with mesquite groves, sandstone boulders and crushed sandstone ground cover.

This study updated the signage and access routes of the campus in order to conform with the American Disabilities Act. Audible signals will be installed in order to direct sight impaired students, employees and visitors on the campus.    RAFI  also designed computer renderings for the President to use as visualization tools for capital planning.  Seven buildings were designed to provide a design direction for the future of the campus.
