Vanguard on the Rise
Vanguard University is experiencing significant growth while remaining true to our Christ-centered mission that has guided us for more than a century. We are paving clear pathways to a Vanguard education, transforming our campus to enhance the student experience, and cultivating resources for academic and career achievement so every student thrives. As we look ahead, we see a Vanguard that is on the rise!
Campus Master Plan
Transforming our campus to enhance the Vanguard experience
We are gaining significant momentum on our 30-year campus master plan, adopted in 2019. Since completion of the Waugh Student Center in 2020, and with the recently completed construction of the new campus perimeter and corner monument sign, we now look ahead as we continue to enhance the quality of the Vanguard campus experience.
With new facilities and environments that support our mission and student experience, we will meet the needs of our growing University while bolstering Vanguard’s image in the community and among generations of students and alumni.
