NYU Plans: 2031
NYU Plans 2031 seeks to ensure that the University has a strategy and a vision to support its growth, sustain its academic mission, and reinforce its identity through the milestone year of 2031, NYU's 200th Anniversary. This effort led by the NYU planning team began in earnest in the beginning of 2007. In May of 2007, NYU selected a Design Team led by SMWM to partner with the University to develop a long range strategic plan. The Office of Strategic Assessment, Planning & Design (SAPD) is dedicated to protecting and enhancing NYU's campus environment and resources.

The Community Task Force on NYU Development was convened by Borough President Scott Stringer in the fall of 2006, as a working group of elected officials, community leaders and organizations and New York University principals with the goal of creating an urban campus plan that balances the needs of the University with its neighboring communities for harmonious long-term growth.
The CommUNITYnyc website is integral to this urban planning process. Its task is to share information, promote dialogue and encourage innovation.

NYU Work Rules
NYU's Facilities and Construction Management organization supports the University's mission by constructing, operating and maintaining its facilities to ensure that the highest standards of quality and safety are maintained at all times. Facilities and Construction Management retains construction and maintenance contractors to support these objectives, and together Facilities and Construction Management and its contractors are responsible for ensuring that the research, learning and residential environments are not adversely affected by construction and maintenance work.
FCM has developed Work Rules (pdf) to guide this process.
NYU Community Fund
