Friday, February 15, 2008
DAYTON — The University of Dayton is to go public next week with its plans for developing 50 acres of land it bought from NCR Corp. in 2005 near the southern edge of Dayton.
A news conference is planned at 9:30 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 18, to announce details of a campus master plan devised by Burt Hill, an architecture and design firm the university hired to compile the plan. UD officials are to make the announcement in the university's school of law.

The plan, initially expected to have been completed in 2007, was fashioned with input from a committee of UD students, faculty, staff, alumni and community leaders.
Officials have said the plan for the acquired land is likely to include academic use and a mixed-use area allotted for retail and commercial development, with some area to be set aside for green space.
The university's purchase of the land expanded its campus to a total of 259 acres.
