academic standing and reputation. USC has positioned its place as a proud
leader in higher education to also be a catalyst for the economy of Los Angeles.USC's vision for its future emphasizes its
role and mission in the development of human beings and society as a whole
through the cultivation and enrichment of the human mind and spirit and its
desire to be a major force in addressing critical issues facing society and
creating new societal opportunities.
Looking ahead, recently its Trustees adopted University Park

new academic, housing, retail, recreation and campus life facilities that

campus in support of USC’s role and mission.
To create a safe, attractive, sustainable,
residential campus and neighboring urban community.

the University Park
campus.
To act as a catalyst for public and private
non-university investment in the surrounding communities, including
non-university-owned residential, commercial and open spaces.
To value the rich architectural heritage of
the campus and surrounding communities.
To improve a comprehensive campus and public
street circulation system serving pedestrians, bikes and vehicles.

of parking and transportation systems.
This planning effort was an inclusive and comprehensive
multi-year analysis designed to engage and articulate from many perspectives
the ways in which the University Park Campus can be enhanced, extended and
better utilized over the next twenty years. Working closely with campus constituents and neighbors
in respectful partnership, the 2030 Master Plan vision lays out a flexible
planning framework.It proposes to use
precious land resources and investments over time to plan for campus growth in
a manner that connects with, and embraces its vital surrounding community to
create safe, attractive and vibrant neighborhoods that promote interaction and
shared positive experiences. The vision for the 2030 Master Plan for the
University Park Campus is directed toward building attractive and livable
neighborhoods in the long term.
