From the Recently Released - Georgetown University 2010-2020 Campus Plan
See the first bullet in "The Middle" for commentary on MSF - at least it's still in the plan.
However, it does not seem to be listed in the “Proposed 2010 – 2020 Campus Plan Projects” table. This identifies the following:
- Poulton Addition
- Walsh Addition
- Kehoe Field Roof and Enclosure
- McDonough Gym Addition
- Dahlgren West Contemplative Space
- New South Student Ctr
- Library Walk Buildings
- GUMC Entrance 3 Building
- Medical Dental Addition
- Basic Science Addition
- Pre-Clinical Science Addition
My hope would be that since the MSF and the McDonough Gym Addition were previously approved on the same Zoning Commission Order: No. 07-23, that they would be considered for completion in parallel. But this is a hugely optimistic assumption and based on past history seems unlikely, which means that MSF is not at this time listed as a 2010 – 2020 planned project. Maybe we can move backup to Kehoe and begin playing in a dome – j/k!!!!
Here is a section from the actual document:
The Athletics precinct consists of the University’s primary athletic facilities, which are concentrated on the western side of the campus, and include McDonough Gymnasium, a multi-sport athletic field, and Yates Field House, the campus’ sole recreation center. Under the 2000 Plan, a new Athletic Training Facility was approved for construction on this portion of the campus.
Athletics
The 2010 Campus Plan builds on the University’s commitment to its athletic programs, and also includes improvements to vehicular and pedestrian circulation on this portion of campus. Planned improvements include:
• Already approved under the 2000 Plan, construction of an Athletic Training Facility on the site of the existing tennis courts.
• Establishment of a new open space (Hoya Court) adjacent to the Athletic Training Facility, McDonough Gym, and the Multi-Sport Facility.
• Extension of Library Walk to its western resolution.
• Enclosure of Kehoe Field, which lies above Yates, in part to allow for the progressive renovation of Yates and to allow for full utilization of the artificial turf field that is the roof.
• Completion and establishment of the Campus Service Road on the western edge of the campus to permit internal one-way circulation that connects the north and south portions of campus. The existing gate system at the Leavey Center will be maintained to limit access through campus.
The Middle
The 2010 Plan continues to enhance and improve this portion of campus in order to capitalize on these new facilities with the following improvements:
• Already approved under the 2000 Plan, construction of improvements to the Multi-Sport Facility.
• Construction of an addition to the northeast wing of the Leavey Center, balancing it with the existing northwest wing.
• Development of Tondorf Road into a primary north-south pedestrian route connecting the South Residential precinct to the North Residential precinct.
• Improvements to east-west connections through the core of the campus.
• Creation of a major new formal open space at the intersection of Tondorf Road with the new east-west connection to West Road, between the New Science Center, Intercultural Center, and Multi-Sport Facility.
