Guiding growth and renewal for Massachusetts public colleges and universities
Over the past decade, Goody Clancy has worked with the Massachusetts Division of Capital Asset Management & Maintenance to complete master plans for each of the six state universities and colleges located in western Massachusetts, establishing for each campus a blueprint for growth, renewal, and improvement over time. Goody Clancy has updated plans for several of the campuses in response to evolving state priorities and institutional missions.
