2 The core implementation of this master plan, Phases 1-3, will occur incrementally over the next ten years and will provide the appropriate facilities to support an enrollment of 5,000 students at the main campus and 1,000 students at the Dayton campus. The fourth and final phase is intended to provide an outline of potential projects to be considered beyond the ten-year, 5,000 student threshold. The implementation sequence proposed for the Master Plan has been carefully developed to achieve the most critical priorities while minimizing disruption. Furthermore, each project is structured in way that makes it fully functional, independent of subsequent development. It is essential that each implementation project contributes to the key concepts of the master plan. The creation of meaningful open space, pedestrian connectivity, and other improvements that significantly impact and improve the quality of life on campus will contribute greatly to the momentum of the plan.

Funding and Partnership Strategies Several implementation strategies are proposed in the following sections, to address both programmatic and funding aspects of the master plan.

3 Funding and Partnership Strategies Several implementation strategies are proposed in the following sections, to address both programmatic and funding aspects of the master plan. Institutional Advancement CSU is a recipient of Title III Part B grant funds that provide financial assistance to establish or strengthen the physical plants, financial management, academic resources, and endowments of the historically Black colleges and universities. Currently CSU utilizes Title III funds in support of the following initiatives: the Center for Academic Success, Library resource enhancement, the Strategic Enrollment Management Plan, Strengthening the Development Office, Counseling services, Pre-Law program development, and K-16 higher education access activities. Title III funds should also be pursued to support institutional advancement activities directly related to implementation of elements of the Master Plan. Two specific opportunities that might be pursued include the following two programs: Strengthening academic success and improving retention through a focused program for student wellness and fitness: This program would tie into the overall University efforts to promote well-being through diet, exercise and healthy lifestyles, and would be linked to the on-going program to increase retention through the Center for Academic Success. It is also directly related to the Master Plan recommendations for improvement in the recreational facilities at CSU. Strengthening institutional advancement activities through funding of a staff position(s)to develop effective partnerships for co-funding needed physical improvements: This program would provide the ability to focus staff resources on identifying and developing strategic partnerships with private or public entities that could participate in funding improvements identified in the master plan. The Collaboratorium will serve as an iconic anchor to the main Academic Quad as well as the historic Sunken Garden Program development for a new Library for the 21st century : The new library proposed in the Master Plan is envisioned as a technologically advanced learning center, or Collaboratorium, that will provide teaching and learning spaces that support interactive access to library resources, group learning and academic support activities. Development of the special program for this building might be an eligible use of Title III funds. 75

Student Housing: The participation of privately developed student housing on the campus will continue to be necessary to meet the demand of enrollment growth.

4 Capital Funding & State Funds State Funds: It is anticipated that the major projects that are the result of CSU s growing enrollment will be supported through the State of Ohio s funding formula for higher education. These projects would include the new library and the gateway academic building. Student Housing: The participation of privately developed student housing on the campus will continue to be necessary to meet the demand of enrollment growth. Based on the rate of enrollment increases and the capacity of the development partners, multiple developers may be required to reach the housing goals. Athletic, recreation and wellness facilities: Strategic partnerships should also be pursued in regards to athletic and wellness facilities. Local or regional partners may be required in the development of new athletic facilities on the east side of U.S. 42. Potential partners may include local school systems, YMCAs, fitness clubs, and amateur and youth athletic groups. Local health care providers may also be potential partners for wellness facilities that align with their service lines. Joint-Use academic / economic development facilities: CSU through the Foundation and University sponsored Tawawa Community Development Corporation should consider ways to creatively program and fund the proposed new University facility at the intersection of Brush Row Road and U.S. Route 42. This facility is located within the proposed Mixed-Use Village Gateway and therefore offers an opportunity to advance the development of this area to the benefit of both the University and Wilberforce community.

Research Facilities: CSU is already involved in efforts to develop private enterprise and thereby foster economic development through its National Environmental Technology (NET) incubator facility

Additional public/private partnerships will be essential to developing research and incubator opportunities east of U.S. 42.

6 Research Facilities: CSU is already involved in efforts to develop private enterprise and thereby foster economic development through its National Environmental Technology (NET) incubator facility located in the McLin International Center for Water Resource Management. That effort is funded in part by the State of Ohio and in part by Battelle. Additional public/private partnerships will be essential to developing research and incubator opportunities east of U.S. 42. Continuing to expand partnerships that align private industry with the research strengths of the University will be key to the creation of new private companies. Top: Office/ Research Facilities located along Wilberforce Switch Rd, adjacent to the East Athletic Campus Bottom: Tawawa Nature and Outdoor Pursuit Center Nature/Outdoor Center: The Master Plan identifies a proposed location for a Nature/Outdoor Center north of the existing Green and Anderson Residence Halls. This facility could provide outdoor recreation and team-building facilities and activities and could also provide access to historical information about the natural and cultural history of Tawawa Woods, Wilberforce and CSU. The facility might also have a program element linked to the CSU academic and research activities related to water resource management. Should this multi-purpose facility be open to the public, it could take advantage of funding from Greene County, as well from grants focused on historical facilities and water management resource issues. Infrastructure: CSU should investigate the potential to fund future infrastructure improvements through the energy savings that could be achieved by improved / upgraded energy systems. 78

7 Donor Gifts While the economic downturn has had a major impact on giving, donor opportunities must continue to be explored. High visibility projects should be identified that can be part of a fundraising campaign. Projects like the installation of synthetic turf at the football stadium, the Walk of Fame, and other pedestrian plazas are potential projects where naming rights can be given for major donors. Existing Campus Grant Funding Grant funding should also be considered for many of the projects with strong ties to environmental sustainability and physical wellness. Many grant opportunities are currently available for projects related to water quality, ecological restoration, trails and transit enhancements, and energy conservation. CSU should partner with Xenia Township and Greene County to pursue these types of grants Alternative financing mechanisms While much if not all funding for major capital improvements will likely have to come from the State, CSU should explore alternatives. Bridge financing that is funding/financing that is used to build facilities prior to the University obtaining all project funds may be an avenue to explore. Entities such as the HBCU Capital Finance Program or TUFF The University Financing Foundation may offer vehicles to allow accelerated construction of projects. Phase 1 Phase 2 Phasing The Following recommendations provide a strategy for implementing the projects necessary to support a campus of 5,000 students and beyond. The proposed phasing plan outlines conceptual budgets, descriptions and time frame for completion. Phase 3 Future 79
