Focusing on Learners: A Different Approach to Smartly Managing Institutional Growth

Presenter(s): Lee Richey, Kennesaw State University; Margaret G. Serrato and John H. Starr, Lord, Aeck & Sargent Architecture
Convener: John C. Adams, University of Nebraska Medical Center

In 1998 fast-growing Kennesaw State University served 8,800 FTE students (12,861 head count) with an unbelievably low average of 50 assignable square feet of facilities per FTE student. Learn how-as enrollment continues to dramatically increase and new facilities are built-KSU steadfastly employs an integrated learner/consumer-focused approach to academic planning, facilities design, and class scheduling that yields distinctly different results from the more prevalent and traditional provider-focused approach.

This knowledge resource from SCUP is a concurrent session presented at the Society's thirty-sixth annual, international conference and Expo, SCUP–36, in Boston, MA (USA), in July of 2001.

Audiocassettes of this and other SCUP–36 sessions are available for purchase here.

Due to our concern for the privacy of members of the face-to-face audiences at SCUP-36, our digital archives of SCUP-36 presentations end at the beginning of the question and answer portion of each session. Whenever we can, we not only provide streaming audio but the slide show or visual presentation used by the presenters, as well.
