Campus planning and development
Managing the growth and development of the university's built environment: Architectural and Engineering Services
Architectural and Engineering Services (AES) supports University of Idaho by managing all aspects of capital projects and improvements to the built environment — from planning and programming to architectural and engineering design, through procurement, construction and completion. Services include project programming, design, construction document production, cost estimating, bidding and construction observation for capital construction, maintenance and repair, alterations and improvements, and renovation projects.
In addition, AES stewards the Long-Range Campus Development Plan (LRCDP), provides capital strategy and capital planning efforts, coordinates the university’s annual request to the State of Idaho Permanent Building Fund, provides space planning, manages the university's Space Database and maintains the construction document archive.

Campus development planning
The Long-Range Campus Development Plan (LRCDP) connects the unique physical character of University of Idaho’s Moscow campus with the university’s strategic goals — to be the West’s premier residential campus, grow globally competitive research programs and expand statewide outreach. The plan guides thoughtful principles and guidance, fostering sustainable growth while preserving the open spaces, features, essential character and natural beauty that define U of I.
Shaped by input from students, faculty, staff and alumni, the LRCDP is both a vision and a promise — to safeguard the university’s character while ensuring smart, cost-effective planning for the future.
Campus planning history
Discover how University of Idaho’s campus has evolved over time through a series of historical maps and planning documents created by notable architects and planners.
1908 Campus Sketch – John Charles Olmsted
Renowned landscape architects, the Olmsted Brothers of Massachusetts, designed the university’s first master plan in 1908. Their vision established a cohesive layout to complement the newly built Administration Building and helped shape the early identity of the campus.
Circa 1925 Future Development Map – Rudolph Weaver
Rudolph Weaver, chair of the Architecture Department and campus architect, created this plan while based in Moscow, Idaho. He is also credited as the architect of the Life Sciences South building.
1947 Long Range Plan – Victor Jones, Boise
This plan envisioned major campus developments, including sites now home to the Agricultural Science addition and the Executive Residence. While some proposed elements came to life, others differ significantly from the current campus layout.
1955 Long Range Plan – Victor Jones, Seattle
Many features of today’s campus trace back to this plan. Notable elements include the Swim Center, Physical Education Building (PEB), Family Housing on Sweet Avenue and the locations of the Colleges of Natural Resources and Education.
1971 Planning Study
This study led to the construction of key campus landmarks such as the Hartung Theater and the College of Law. However, aspects like the proposed ring road and water feature were never implemented or significantly altered.
1997 Illustrative Plan – Gordon Walker
University of Idaho alumnus and prominent Seattle architect Gordon Walker served as a consultant on the development of the university’s long-range campus plan in the 1990s. Walker also co-designed the J.A. Albertson College of Business building in partnership with YGH Architects and Design West Architects.
