DF Gibson Architects provided master planning services for the university in several phases as the campus grew from 20 acres and 1 million square feet to 45 acres and nearly 3.2 million. These master plans allowed for a phased transformation of the college from Newark College of Engineering, an engineering-based technical institution, to New Jersey Institute of Technology, a more broad based university, including programs in liberal arts, sciences, architecture, and business, capable of meeting the challenges of the 21st Century.
