[SustainableTompkins] Cornell Masper Plan Open House Thursday at 4 pm downtown

[GayNicholson at aol.com]

You are cordially invited to visit either of two open houses in  early
February that will provide updates on the status and direction of  the
university's Comprehensive Master Plan process, which has completed  
its first phase. We are holding two sessions to accommodate the  broad
interest in the process. Open to all members of the Cornell  and
neighboring communities, the open houses offer participants  the
opportunity to drop by at any time during either session, and  
refreshments will be provided.


The open houses are:

*  Wednesday, Feb 7: Willard Straight Hall,
Memorial Room, Cornell, 11 a.m-3  p.m..

* Thursday, Feb 8: Hilton Garden Inn,
Seneca/Tioga Room, 130 E.  Seneca St., Downtown Ithaca, 4-8 p.m.


Each open house will provide an  informal opportunity for you to learn
about and offer input on the  Comprehensive Master Plan at your own
pace. The results of phase one of the  master plan process - which 
involved discussion, input and feedback from  both the Cornell campus
and neighboring communities during the past spring,  summer and fall -
will be summarized on a series of illustrated panels, and  members of
the master plan consultant team will be available to answer  questions
and receive feedback. In addition to these face-to-face  discussions,
all participants will be encouraged to provide written feedback  on
comment sheets provided at the open houses. 

The Comprehensive  Master Plan being developed for Cornell's Ithaca
campus will set the context  for physical changes on campus over the
next 25 years, in order to realize  the university's research,
teaching, residential and recreational  priorities.

For more information about Cornell's Comprehensive Master  Plan and
the open houses, as well as additional opportunities for  feedback,

We hope you will take this opportunity to learn more about Cornell's  
Comprehensive Master Plan.

Sincerely,

Vice Provost John  Siliciano
University Planner Mina Amundsen
