Fringe Sites and Community Approvals

Presenter(s): Steven Marsh, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Real Estate; Edward T.M. Tsoi, and Ellen A. Watts, Tsoi / Kobus & Associates, Inc.
Convener: Nancy Goodwin, Finegold Alexander + Associates Inc

Today's campuses are forced to consider "fringe sites"-sites on the edge or beyond existing campus boundaries. Community reactions to encroachment can often delay or halt development. Using the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Suffolk University as examples, you will learn how to confront the "real" issues, programming strategies that are friendly to abutters, how to present initial design concepts, how to obtain the necessary approvals and permits, and how to forge long-term win-win strategies.

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.
