About the Department/College

The historical heart of NAU is its Flagstaff Mountain Campus, which spans more than 700 acres, with more than 120 buildings and 7 million square feet. In conjunction with a bold strategic vision, outlined in the university\'s new strategic plan - NAU 2025 - Elevating Excellence - which articulates a clear mission and vision for the university\'s future, NAU has recently launched a Sustainable Smart Campus Master Plan process to identify and refine facility usage and development plans for the future, particularly as they relate to strategic considerations around campus housing, flexible work, research investments and support, community partnership, and sustainability in university operations. In addition, a key priority for the university is pursuit of carbon neutrality by the end of the decade, which will be a top operational priority of the VP CAPCO.
