AUB has recently completed a Campus Master Plan study that sets the parameters to guide the development of the campus over the next 20 years. The master plan study was developed and completed in March 2002 by Sasaki Associates in collaboration with Machado and Silvetti, MGT of America and Dar Al Handasah (Shair and Partners). Its aim was to translate the academic vision of the University into spatial terms, ensuring that the physical environment supports and enhances the academic plan.
