...which is the latest one published, shows a "Long Term Plan" on the last two pages of text (numbered pages 20 and 21). Carroll still appears (see the aerial view map on the right side of page 20), but that doesn't assure its survival.

The long term plans foresee clusters of buildings in the north and northeast portions of campus, where there are currently a lot of parking lots and open space. Under "Planning Guidelines," numbered page 7, the Campus Plan states,

"Undergraduate residence halls will be clustered to create communities and located to balance the campus around its historic core. The planning for future buildings will strive to achieve multifunctional spaces in order to promote a sense of community and interaction among the faculty, students and staff."

Carroll's isolated location is not planned to become one of the building area clusters shown for the north and northeast areas, which I think may portend its eventual demise, unless it gets repurposed somehow. It's hard to imagine it as classrooms or administrative space, notwithstanding the conversions of Flanner and Grace years ago.
