Forging Connections: Planning for an Interdisciplinary Institute at the University of Michigan
Presenter(s): Frederick W. Mayer, University of Michigan - Ann Arbor; Nancy Rogo Trainer, Venturi, Scott Brown & Associates; James P. Wallace, Venturi, Scott Brown and Associates
Interdisciplinary modes of academic inquiry are changing the nature of university programs and campus communities. At the University of Michigan, planning for a newly-created Life Sciences Institute within the broader context of university-wide campus planning supported these changes by facilitating physical and programmatic connections between campuses, communities and academic disciplines and providing a catalyst for re-imagining a ³problem² site. Strategies used are applicable to a broad range of institution types and scales. |
 This knowledge resource from SCUP is a concurrent session presented at the Society's thirty-seventh annual, international conference and Expo, SCUP–37, in San Diego, CA (USA), in July of 2002. Audiocassettes of this and other SCUP–37 sessions are available for purchase here. |
| Due to our concern for the privacy of members of the face-to-face audiences at SCUP–37, our digital archives of SCUP–37 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. |
