One of President Amy Gutmann's top priorities is to complete the a revised campus development master plan and set a timetable for developing the postal lands. When Penn takes possession of the 14-acre postal lands property a year and a half from now, we will begin transforming surface lots, fallow buildings, and eyesores into a vibrant, mixed-use neighborhood, featuring new space for research, cafes, shops and restaurants, arts venues, and recreation. Planning effectively for this transformation will require harnessing the expertise, contributions, and perspectives of our Trustees, faculty, city and community leaders, staff, students, and alumni.
Over the course of this academic year, a campus development planning committee will seek feedback and counsel from a broad array of deliberative, governing, and constituent bodies at Penn, including our valued alumni. We look forward to the opportunity for briefing you on our progress to date and gathering your thoughts and comments on this important initiative. With your help, we will have a dynamic campus plan that the Penn community, the city of Philadelphia, and the region will embrace.
