In late November 1954, the chair of the board of governors, Coyne, perhaps in consultation with a few other officials, made a review of the first comprehensive master plan prepared by the association of architects. That scheme, here named Architectural Associates plan (Fall 1954), is illustrated to the right and below. It contains most of the detailed content found in the final, approved scheme.

The image to the right is from a bird's eye perspective of this first comprehensive scheme. The rendering was produced on or before, November 1954 and can be compared with a revised view prepared in December of that year. The illustration below is an original composite reconstitution prepared using only graphic and written information contained within the November 1954 version of the master plan document.

This new overlay illustrates how that concept would have appeared as a planimetric map.

On noteworthy change requested by Coyne, prior to showing the master plan to the board of governors, was a revision of the projected timetable for development. Timing for the development of the entire campus (as proposed in these illustrations) was based on a three-phase scheme with enrolment of 5000 to 6000 full-time students in "several decades". That timing was changed at Coyne's instruction to become "50 to 75 years from now" (Coyne to Balharrie, 25 November 1954; NAC: MG28 III 36, vol.38, file Carleton Univ. master plan to Dec. 1961).
