(1139) Campus Placemaking
Presented by: Philip Myrick, Vice President, Project for Public Spaces

Placemaking, the art and science of creating public spaces where people want to gather, is a forgotten element in campus planning today. However, sense of place and vibrant community life are as important to a campus's appeal as famous professors, alumni and sports teams. It only takes a slight reorientation of strategy to incorporate placemaking ideas into any campus redevelopment plans -- and the pay off, in terms of image and livability, is incalculable. It's simply a matter of being intentional about creating great places as part of any project undertaken. Project for public spaces will present on their experience with several prestigious universities.

(1115) Reacting to the Past or Planning for the Future
Presented by: Harvey H. Kaiser, President, Harvey H. Kaiser Associates, Inc; Peter D. Zuraw, Assistant Vice President/Management & Planning, Wellesley College
The academic institution's long struggle with inadequate resources and deferral of investment in its capital infrastructure is well documented. The efforts to assess existing conditions, keep pace with academic program change, pinpoint capital costs, struggle to finance them, and create tools to sustain the effort going forward are familiar topics if not activities. This is the story of an innovative facilities (not master) planning project partnership at Wellesley College in 2006 and 2007 and the lessons learned…so far. Of particular focus will be the role of he institution in leading any process, the importance of conceiving of this work as a process and not a task to be implemented, and some new thining on linking deferral/conditions/needs assessment thinking with the critical areas of modernization and program growth/change.

It is hoped that during this presentation most time will be spent in conversation between the presenters themselves and with the audience in open discussion.

(1064) How Green Is It? EMERGY Analysis and Campus Planning
Presented by: Robin Hoffman, Associate Professor, State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry; Timothy R. Toland, Assistant Professor, State University of New York

SUNY Environmental Science and Forestry has developed a master plan that envisions converting a typical 1960’s campus into a holistically designed sustainable environment. To evaluate how successful the plan met these goals, an EMERGY analysis is used to convert the dissimilar energy inputs required for each initiative into a comparable index. The results will be useful for assessing improved sustainability as measured against existing conditions, developing phasing plans, and prioritizing improvements. This presentation presents a case study for university planners.
