Criteria for a New Campus in New Brunswick
The sale of seminary property is intended to accomplish two objectives: first, to fund the creation of a new campus in a new relationship with the university around us, and second, to grow our present endowment so we can extend and deepen our mission. The growth of the endowment will include restoring it to wholeness, a provision for an annual capital budget to maintain our new campus and significant new funds to extend our mission.
- A beautiful, flexible, sustainable, fully accessible and technologically smart building (or buildings) which would provide for growth in the size of our student body and include classrooms, worship space, seminar rooms, offices, and common community spaces that would serve us and our mission for generations to come.
- A tangible expression of the historic and distinct presence of the seminary on Holy Hill within the campus of Rutgers University, through the preservation and adaptation of the Gardner A. Sage Library building in the light of the seminary's evolving needs, as well as through the design of any new buildings or other elements of the campus.
- Convenient access to, and control of, the seminary library. Control of the library would include the control of collection development and library staff. It is our hope that through the library we would extend our mission, including an enhanced relationship with the Rutgers University Library System.
- Convenient and safe access to parking, either free or at a modest and guaranteed rate, for our students, staff, faculty and guests.
- A prominent and attractive main entrance to the seminary campus.
- To provide or identify safe, comfortable, and functional clusters of affordable housing for our residential students, and as necessary, occasional housing for our commuter students and guests.
- A document of covenant between the Seminary and Rutgers University that would state the two institutions' mutual commitments and responsibilities and provide a framework for, and specific description of, the seminary's collaborations with the university's academic centers, programs, departments and student services.
