The Campus Master Plan project team also recognized the need to include green initiatives to include adding electric vehicle charging stations and solar study tables to the Touro University Nevada campus. 

Parking

Touro University Nevada created a $500,000, ninety-four space parking lot and a campus-wide parking management system. This parking area was creating in partnership with the City of Henderson to give purpose to a vacant strip of land along the I-95. The university was also the recipient of an easement from NV Energy, a requirement to use the land due to utility power lines. 

A second student parking lot utilizing undeveloped City of Henderson and Nevada Department of Transportation parcels of land expanded parking by an additional 58 parking spaces increasing student parking to 195 campus adjacent parking spaces. 

Technology & Infrastructure

New construction required the addition of a $6 million-dollar central heating and cooling plant to support the new construction within the 874 main campus building as well as infrastructure support in the 882 building for future expansion.

The Campus Master Plan included various projects to support campus growth to include parking management, visitor management, security cameras, building access, asset management, wayfinding, campus design and décor, donor recognition for facilities, digital communications, policies and procedures, air purification, and campus public art.
