Integrated Transportation-Land Use Planning Tools for College Campuses
Presenters: Thomas Adler, President, Resource Systems Group; Robert Chamberlin, Managing Director, Resource Systems Group; Robert H. Penniman, Executive Director, Campus Area Transportation Management Association, Inc.; Linda E. Seavey, Director/Campus Planning Services, University of Vermont; Joanna L. Whitcomb, Planner/Planning, Design & Construction, Dartmouth College; Erica Wygonik, Senior Associate, Resource Systems Group
Audience: Campus and university planners, developers, designers, and architects. Campus administrators who guide travel management initiatives and board policy will also find it helpful.

As more stringent environmental laws have come into effect, university-generated traffic and parking impacts have become the focus of increasingly more sophisticated neighborhood groups. This workshop uses the University of Vermont and Dartmouth College as case studies for the evolution of campus master plans that manage travel and parking to a high degree to minimize their impacts on public infrastructure and adjacent neighborhoods. Learn about the analytical tools and community outreach mechanisms used to develop travel and parking management plans, and to convey those plans to an often skeptical public. Learn four tools/processes to improve your master planning and to sell your plans to the public. You will also learn:

1. Preference surveying to determine the attributes necessary to induce participation in a travel management program

2. Computer traffic simulation

3. Estimating environmental impacts (greenhouse gas emissions of alternative plans)

4. Participation in a Transportation Management Association. Peer-to-peer exchanges will solidify this value by providing additional information from practitioners on what has been successful and unsuccessful in this area.

Analytical tools such as computer simulations, stated preference modeling, and greenhouse gas estimations will become mainstay approaches to campus planning in the coming decade. Participants will gain a better understanding of state of the art tools and mechanisms for developing and following through on campus master plans.

Workshop includes workbook and refreshments. Grab an early lunch before the workshop!

Audience: Campuses interested in expanding their creative capacity for developing global partnerships through innovation, collaboration, use of metrics, and use of networking technologies.

The new era of global higher education requires organizations that are capable of changing themselves in flexible and adaptable ways as they partner in establishing global knowledge-based hubs where programs are co-created and shared. Thriving organizations in this global landscape will systematically build the capacity, structural characteristics, leadership competencies, and innovation strategies to initiate, implement and sustain change agendas. This workshop will guide you in building "smart" global partnerships through:

1. An understanding of the next generation of global higher education

2. The process of adoption and diffusion of new ways of doing business

3. The establishment of metrics and measures that build upon leading indicators

4. Expanded use of networking technologies

Innovative global higher education partnerships will be showcased along with case studies of how are higher education systems and a state university using this framework to expand their creative capacity for developing global competencies for their students.

Workshop includes workbook, continental breakfast, and refreshments.
Cost: $200US

Real-Estate Partnerships as a Funding, Development, and Revitalization Tool for the Campus
Presenters: Omar Blaik, President & CEO, U3 Ventures; Daniel R. Kenney, Principal & Director/Institutional Planning, Sasaki Associates Inc
Audience: Institutional leaders involved in financial planning, campus planning, external affairs, real estate, and development who are involved in, or want more knowledge about, public-private development partnerships.

Gain an understanding of how to use real-estate public-private partnerships as a tool to address key issues facing higher education today. There will be an overview of principles, contemporary case studies, and group discussion opportunities. We will look at leading-edge partnership case studies in the United States and Canada of institutions that have land resources they wish to develop or leverage (the University of Calgary in Alberta and Auraria Higher-Education Center in Denver); and of institutions that are trying to use real-estate as a tool to revitalize their community context, usually by acquiring and redeveloping property (the University of Pennsylvania). An opportunity for detailed discussion of particular case studies, as well as participants' issues, will be provided. You will learn:

1. Issues of public-private partnerships

2. The criteria for establishing their framework

3. The roles of various players ((planning, design, finance, governance, and the developer)

Collaborative Facilities Strategies
Presenters: Bob MacKenzie, Manager/Plant Operations Support, State of Washington
Collaborative facilities management can be leveraged by public agencies and non-profit organizations on limited budgets to maximize scarce resources and to operate "champagne" facilities. Learn how public agencies, schools, colleges, utilities and municipalities are making great things happen in the northwest and Canada. Sharing and cooperation have been elevated to new heights, driven by fiscal constraints and the need to operate sustainable buildings. You'll learn how a core staff can facilitate, orchestrate, broker and respond to myriad requests for assistance from a "Consortium" of public facility managers. Discover how a general government agency has partnered with Washington State University to validate the concept of collaborative facilities management and saved its 125 members more than $31 million in the process!

As colleges and universities engage more fully with their host communities to explore synergistic planning and development opportunities, the model for creating 'learning communities' must expand to include multi-generational, public/private, sustainable environments where learning occurs on and off campus, formally and informally, directly or tangentially. This model will focus on planning and designing vibrant, livable and sustainable communities that are enriched by, and infused with, learning opportunities. The discussion will focus on blending campus and community planning in support of the educational institutuion's mission to provide lifelong learning opportunities and the communiti's goal to create social, economic and environmental vibrancy.

Today, we face changes in our economy and in our demography that challenge our conventional view of higher education. State and regional economies are struggling, industries are moving off shore, and the workforce is aging. Meanwhile the U.S. is falling behind other industrial nations in educational attainment. Higher education often is seen as the key to intellectual and economic progress. Workforce development, particularly in a community college setting, is a near-immediate response to these emerging trends. Learn more about what workforce development means, how it does its work, and how it stimulates change and improvement in regional economies.

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.
