Overview: A Living Framework for the Future

Why the Campus Plan Matters

Our university is defined by the people who bring it to life - students, faculty, staff, alumni, and partners who see OU not just as a place to learn, but as a home for ideas, discovery, and belonging. Campus Plan 2035 is our roadmap to ensure that this home remains vibrant, relevant, and resilient in the decades ahead.

This plan ensures that every square foot of campus contributes to a larger mission: supporting student success, advancing research, fostering inclusivity, and nurturing the environment that sustains us. It charts a responsible path forward, balancing growth with stewardship, and innovation with tradition. The outcome will be a campus that feels alive;where classrooms invite collaboration, residence halls foster community, and natural spaces restore both body and mind.
