The University is in the second phase of its planning process to determine required building facilities for the next five to 10 years. In November 2006, the Board of Governors supported continuing with the second phase in the Facilities Strategy process which includes determining:

1. The precise size, configuration and location of new building projects
2. The options for renovating existing space
3. The level of philanthropic support for the capital program
4. The overall cost of the facilities strategy considering both (a) closing Traill College entirely and (b) repurposing Traill College as a primarily graduate studies college
