The plan was a catalyst for the establishment of an integrated planning process at VIU that will coordinate planning for strategic, academic, research, and ancillary services, and fiscal, operational, social, and physical activities for maximum focus and performance of future developments. The plan supports the academic plan by addressing required infrastructure and facilities deficiencies, enhancing research and learning capacity, and accommodating new programs and technologies.

The 2010 recipient for SCUP’s Institutional Innovation and Integration Award is Vancouver Island University in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada for their entry, “Nanaimo Campus Master Plan – Integrated Planning Process.” It was submitted by Ric Kelm, executive director, facilities services and campus development at the university. This award recognizes and honors the achievement of higher education institutions or teams of individuals whose work demonstrates innovative thinking, planning, and implementation in an integrated fashion.

The NCMP involved the work of a dedicated team of VIU staff, faculty, students, external stakeholders, and consultants. This document will maintain a living document format that will continue to encourage the input of the university’s internal and external community and incorporate that input on a 5-year revisit and revise schedule. Facilities Management is seen as the "champion” of the plan and we see it as our responsibility to ensure every development is aligned with the plan.
