Campus Triage: Solving for Multiple Changes Concurrently

Presenter(s): Jeff Floyd, Sizemore Floyd Architects; Phyllis Whitney, LaGrange College
Convener: Marie Zeglen, Cleveland State University

Consider the convergence of semester conversion plus new academic plan plus new capital plan plus new facilities delivery . . . all at the same time! Facing these changes, LaGrange College called for triage (!) instead of traditional "single-project" planning. A comprehensive, concurrent approach was needed to determine the major variables, unknowns, and potential problems at the outset. Learn how the college organized, planned, and implemented all of these major changes within a two-year period, plus the lessons learned, "potholes" hit, key decisions made, and consensus built with faculty, staff, and students.

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.
