Between July and September this year, Campbell Project Management Services (CPMS) has been retained to support development of a campus master plan (CMP).

This is a significant milestone in the development of the ILRI Addis Ababa campus and is expected to result in a working document which serves as a reference /guide for any future new constructions/refurbishment of on any of the campus assets, infrastructure. It will also serve as a major input in developing strategic facilities planning (SFP) in a bid to build a sustainable facilities maintenance system for the years to come.

The plan will also provide strategic direction for the development of the physical environment of ILRI over the next ten years to come. And the process is expected to engage the ILRI and wider campus community to understand the cultural environment in which the development is occurring.
