creating A Campus for Today and Tomorrow
We have been guided by our history and committed to our founding values of academic excellence, creating a unique student experience, and serving Atlanta and the world. Each new campus space has been designed to enhance what already makes Westminster special.
Three clear themes emerged during the planning process and are built into every project:
1. Building community
2. Strengthening connections
3. Learning and leadership on display

Campus Planning Leadership

We are grateful to all who contributed to the comprehensive planning effort.
