The 2006 CMP states: 2006 Campus Master Plan All projects must comply with all local zoning and state regulation. The campus will not expand into residential areas within the City of Burlington. Growth should occur so as to increase density within campus and not create sprawl. The University plans to grow on-campus student housing options. The campus should be primarily pedestrian and relocate most parking to the periphery of campus. The University will solicit public participation and ensure that all projects include consideration of public needs and interests. 16
