The master plan will address the entire campus.  However, there will be areas of concentration.  Research into the existing physical assets will be conducted.   Three buildings will be investigated in particular: Fine Arts, Life Science, and Physical Science.  The space needs of all campus departments will be reviewed.   Exterior campus needs will be examined, including traffic circulation (pedestrian, bicycle, and automobile), parking, recreational areas, and other open spaces.   Signage for the campus, both to identify individual buildings and areas, as well as the appropriate means to identify where the campus is located within the City of Charleston, will be investigated.  Lastly, Eastern's land use will be examined, including how the campus will likely develop in order to address its spatial needs.

The resultant planning guidelines and recommendations will address campus needs for ten to fifteen years.  Planning beyond that time is unproductive because of the many variables that are considered and often not controllable.
