Introduction
In 2007 Hamline unveiled the strategic plan
Each year goals are outlined to complete to meet
the vision set by the Board of Trustees
Goals involving the expansion relate to the size of
the student body, and how to sustainably expand
the university to handle the increased size of the
student population
Introduction
The university has met controversy with the
historic Midway neighborhood
Many believe the behavior of purchasing
homes without disclosing the plans to
demolish them for the expansion is unethical
Kozlowski, M. (2014)
Introduction
Of the students surveyed during my research,
13 students of the 16 respondents answered
that they think the university should expand in
the coming years
Reasons explaining their positive responses
Lack of facilities/lack of quality facilities
Growth of the university
Methods
Used the Summon search engine to locate existing research
about my research topic.
Reviewed and analyzed peer reviewed resources on university
expansion, and compared information to the Hamline expansion
plan.
Gathered other outside sources that are provided through
institutions or organizations not peer reviewed but of factual
information and statistics.
I developed, and distributed, a questionnaire to my fellow
students to assess their opinions on the expansion of Hamline
University.
Took the data from the survey and analyzed it into graphics that
help see where the samples of the student body opinions are on
the possibility of Hamline expanding.
Results
University expansion sustainability is for
environmental, economical, and longevity
Anderson student center was one of the strategic
plan initiatives, and embodies all of the features
of university expansion sustainability
Results
Hamlines retention rate of first year students is 81% in to
their second year, and approximately 90% of first year
students live on campus
Improvement of retention must be done to sustainability
increase enrollment
Other universities have had this problem, studies show that on
campus living does not directly correlate to success in school,

Conclusion
More research must be done to fully
understand the feasibility of expanding
Hamlines Saint Paul campus
As enrollment rises and facilities age
expansion will be very relevant to the
sustainability of the university
The historic Midway neighborhood sees the
expansion as Hamline over expanding further
into the neighborhood than needed
Recommendations
More through research is recommended to
completely determine the feasibility of expanding
Hamline University
Possibility of purchasing historic homes and
repurposing them somewhere in the community
Increased lines of communication with the
surrounding community to avoid
misunderstandings in the future
Research the problems with retention in both
second year student enrollment as well as
campus resident students
