A brief description of the institution’s main campus and other aspects of the institutional boundary used to complete this report:

James Madison University is a public, comprehensive university and is the only university in America named for James Madison. The university places great emphasis on the quality of the undergraduate student experience in its bachelor’s level programs and offers a complementary array of distinguished master’s, educational specialist and doctoral programs aimed at meeting specific state and national needs. JMU provides a total education to students – one that has a broad range of the liberal arts as its foundation and encompasses an extensive variety of professional and pre-professional programs, augmented by a multitude of learning experiences outside the classroom. The value and quality of the JMU experience has been recognized repeatedly in many national publications. URL: https://www.jmu.edu/catalog/ug-catalog-2016.pdf


Which of the following features are present on campus and which are included within the institutional boundary?:
Present? Included?

Satellite campus Yes No
Farm larger than 5 acres or 2 hectares Yes Yes
Agricultural experiment station larger than 5 acres or 2 hectares No No

The rationale for excluding any features that are present from the institutional boundary:

Some small spaces are leased in Higher Education Centers. Similarly, other universities and colleges lease spaces in the Centers. The spaces leased in the Centers by JMU are the "satellite" campuses indicated above. Energy and environmental data are not available for these spaces.
