Campus Planning Advisory Board

The Campus Planning Advisory Board (CPAB) officially represents student interests related to Northeastern University campus planning and development. We act as the liaison between the Northeastern Student Body, its campus space concerns and interests, and Northeastern’s Planning, Real Estate, and Facilities (PREF), making campus planning and development decisions. CPAB assists PREF with student outreach initiatives (such as tabling and focus groups), present and discusses student viewpoints and positions with PREF, and helps educate students on campus planning and development.
