Copy of the latest design plans (floor plans and/or architectural plans) for the Agora
Greetings Rowan University,
This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form. Please acknowledge receipt of this message.
Records requested:
Digital copies of the latest version of the design plans (floor plans and/or architectural plans) for the Agora being built between the student center and library building on the Glassboro campus being supplied by your architectural vendor.
Yours faithfully,

Good morning,
Please accept this as a response to your May 20, 2022 OPRA request wherein you sought "copies of the latest version of the design plans (floor plans and/or architectural plans) for the Agora being built between the student center and library." As you are aware, OPRA allows seven (7) business days for a response. This is the fourth (4th) business day.
Rowan University is denying your request as it seeks information that would reveal security measures which, if disclosed, would create a risk to the safety of persons, property, electronic data or software and is therefore exempted from OPRA under N.J.S.A. 47:1A-11. Specifically, Rowan University does not release any architectural plans, floor plans, schematics, etc. for its buildings or properties due to security concerns for the safety of our students, faculty and staff should those plans become public. Such plans contain information regarding building systems, escape routes, and layout of non-public areas which could aid in the planning of harm to people or property.
If you have any questions and/or comments, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time.
Regards,
Elyse

Dear Crawford, Elyse G,
Thank you for your response. I recently attended a graduation ceremony on your campus for a family member who's a student. During that visit we entered the public student center. Posted on the wall publicly were the floor layouts for the upcoming agora project. That is what I am requesting a copy of, the floor layouts that you have already posted publicly in the center of your student center for all to see. I was able to take cell phone pictures of the layout then, but would prefer the original digital copy. If I did not use the correct terminology in my original request for this document I apologize and hereby update my request.
Yours sincerely,
