We will enhance our buildings and landscape to attract students to Clark and provide a better campus experience for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To attract students to Clark and provide them with a transformative liberal arts education and a better campus experience, we need to invest in our buildings and grounds. We will emphasize a student-centered campus life, with spaces for academic collaboration and social connections. These investments will not only benefit our students but faculty, staff, alumni, and visitors for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAn investment in a new facility is really an investment in Clark\u2019s people.\u201d<\/p>President David Fithian<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Closely aligned with Clark\u2019s Strategic Framework, our Campus Design Initiative will guide these investments over the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will construct new academic, research, recreational, and student-oriented buildings and begin significant renovations of common and shared spaces, including making our campus more accessible and inclusive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
