by Amy Works July 14, 2016

PORTLAND, MAINE — The University of Maine has selected Harriman and The Cecil Group, a newly merged architectural firm, to master plan facilities across the seven state campuses in Fort Kent, Presque Isle, Orono, Machias, Augusta, Farmington and Southern Maine, among other locations and sites. The comprehensive suite of documents, which will be created, will guide the future development and management of the university system’s physical campuses. Harriman and The Cecil Group will perform master planning and facilities planning across the university system in a unified effort with all campuses. As part of Maine’s One University Initiative, the planning activities at each individual campus will develop a site-specific identity that integrates with the system as a whole. The university system intends for the master plan to build community engagement, provide opportunity for input and for constituents to have an awareness, understanding and stake in the outcome. Additionally, the comprehensive and long-range plans will be tied to strategic direction and planning of each campus, as well as responsive to current requirements and future development needs. Harriman and The Cecil Group are collaborating with Goody Clancy and Rickes Associates on master planning, campus planning and in-depth facility programming.
