Reacting to the Past or Planning for the Future
Presenters: Harvey H. Kaiser, President, Harvey H. Kaiser Associates, Inc; Peter D. Zuraw, Assistant Vice President/Management & Planning, Wellesley College
The academic institution's long struggle with inadequate resources and deferral of investment in its capital infrastructure is well documented. The efforts to assess existing conditions, keep pace with academic program change, pinpoint capital costs, struggle to finance them, and create tools to sustain the effort going forward are familiar topics if not activities. This is the story of an innovative facilities (not master) planning project partnership at Wellesley College in 2006 and 2007 and the lessons learned...so far. Of particular focus will be the role of he institution in leading any process, the importance of conceiving of this work as a process and not a task to be implemented, and some new thining on linking deferral/conditions/needs assessment thinking with the critical areas of modernization and program growth/change.

It is hoped that during this presentation most time will be spent in conversation between the presenters themselves and with the audience in open discussion.
