The Horned Frogs are hopping into the future with a new campus master plan that will bring TCU into its next 150 years.

Designed by Sasaki — who created master plans for UC Berkeley, Michigan State, and Cleveland State University — and conceptually approved by the Board of Regents, the 10-year plan sets long-term goals in seven major areas.
