Theme 1: Power of Place
Î÷¹ÏÊÓƵ College sits on a natural marvel. Perched above a scenic coast where salted air and endless ocean views inspire creativity and fresh thinking, this place broadens personal and professional horizons. The power of this place has infinite potential.
Power of Place includes the following priority initiatives:
Intentional Spaces & Places
​
Leveraging an already unique and scenic experience, meaningful campus improvements will include creating a welcoming visitor center that encapsulates the Î÷¹ÏÊÓƵ experience while showcasing breathtaking ocean views, enhancing and adding new recreational and athletic facilities, and revamping the library to serve as a campus unifier for renewed engagement.
Student Centered Design Decisions
With a heightened commitment to the student experience, Living Learning Communities will grow, allowing for the pursuit of academic interests aligned with personal social, emotional, and ethical development; and the Student Center will be enhanced to meet evolving multi-cultural, technological, and lifestyle needs.
Increase Alternative Revenue
The campus’ varied natural and constructed spaces provide numerous ways to inspire increased capital. Considering a management transition of the Wylie Inn & Conference Center back to the College and creating a comprehensive exterior spaces plan will help generate year-round revenue while maximizing use of waterfront, beaches, and outdoor spaces.
Convening Conversations of Change & Leadership
Î÷¹ÏÊÓƵ’s stunning campus in Beverly, Mass., is a prime location for hosting premier regional and national events and conferences on topics of growing interest and urgency like higher education affordability, climate change, and social justice. Creating a hub that encourages internal and external scholarship will attract industry experts and guests who engage in interdisciplinary study and groundbreaking research.
