Franklin College is committed to sustainable development that preserves the historic character of its core campus and its integrated land-use and open space pattern. Franklin’s new master plan reflects the campus’s evolution over the College’s 175-year history along the principles of Thomas Jefferson’s academical village. To meet the College’s goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the plan features projects for recycling and reinvigorating existing buildings, expanding them where program requirements substantiate the need for additional space. Land development proposals creates athletic and recreational fields on recently acquired acreage east of the core campus.
