This project provides a pool of money to be used for property acquisition as properties that will enhance the University program and mission become available. Its primary use is to purchase properties adjacent to the main campus. Additional land is needed for academic buildings, service, housing buildings, parking, recreational space and Land Grant research facilities. The Campus Master Plan describes areas for expanding parking development and vehicular movement changes. In order to meet the physical plant needs of the University, additional land needs to be purchased.

The land acquisitions are based on the 2008 Campus Master Plan. These acquisitions will achieve many goals and objectives of the University including the following: increase the availability of quality open space; protect and enhance the integrity and ambiance of the south campus areas; enhance the sense of arrival and entry to the campus; provide adequate parking in close proximity to campus functions; and provide landscaped pedestrian ways to connect parking facilities with high-use functions.
