Science in the New Millenium: A Process to Support Flexibility in a Traditionally Inflexible Environment

Presenter(s): Nancy O. Jannik, Winona State University; Gary C. McNay, Perkins & Will; Marianne O'Brien, Perkins & Will
Convener: Alexandria Roe, Architect of the United States Capitol

This presentation focuses on Winona State University¹s commitment to a proactive learning community. Through this commitment, an innovative ³Investigative Science Program² has been designed around non-science majors, specifically focusing on elementary education. To reinforce this initiative, the design of their new science building needed to address both curriculum change and alternative space utilization. We will explore three topics crucial in the planning process for this facility: collaborative planning process including multiple non-science constituents, alternative space types and application, and funding and program alignment.


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.
