SLM Master Plan and Campaign
Shetek’s master plan and campaign for site improvements
Building on the Foundation – Anchored in over 70 years of ministry, building for the future!
Shetek’s strategic plan, adopted by the Board in Oct. 2015, called for an evaluation of facilities in light of the program goals. In July 2016, Paul Briggs, a master planner with Gronlund, Sayther and Brunkow (GSB), visited Shetek and looked at facilities and conducted interviews to determine a new site plan for Shetek. In the fall of 2017, GSB conducted a feasibility study regarding the master plan for Shetek. The recommendation from the feasibility study was to begin a capital campaign with the goal of $1.5 million to fund the first phase with a challenge goal of $2 million. The preliminary steps of the capital campaign began in 2018 and will continue with a goal of being done with this phase in 3 years. Obviously, we had a pause of over a year during the pandemic.
