The College of DuPage finalized their Facilities Master Plan (FMP) in 2001; it included plans for four new buildings, a new parking structure, and renovation of most of the existing campus. Total construction cost was estimated at $215 million. G/BA created a Mechanical and Electrical Infrastructure Master Plan to complement the FMP. The development of the Infrastructure plan took place in two phases. Phase 1 was an analysis of existing infrastructure and the impact of the FMP on the college's existing systems. Phase 2 included identifying upgrade options required to accommodate the FMP. The options were evaluated based on first cost, operating cost, redundancy, flexibility, environmental impact, and indoor environmental quality.

• Systems evaluated included:
• The central cooling and heating plant (existing capacity 4,600 tons and 95,000 pounds per hour, respectively)
• HVAC systems
• On-site power generation plants, including 5,700 kW of generating capacity
• Normal power systems
• Low voltage systems, including campus WAN/LAN and structured cabling plant
• Campus fire protection loop
• Storm water, sanitary sewer and domestic water systems
• Incoming utilities (water, gas, power, storm, and sanitary)
• The master plan has resulted in various infrastructure upgrade projects, including:
• A new low voltage site utility loop
• Replacement of the fire protection piping loop
• A chiller plant replacement
• A new west campus power infrastructure.
