Presented by: Ned A. Collier, Principal and Director, Higher Education Practice, Icon Architecture, Inc; Gavin English, Operations Director & Estimating Manager, Faithful + Gould; Richard M. Jones, Senior Associate, Perry Dean Rogers | Partners Architects

In design and construction projects, institutional clients struggle to find the tipping point between great facilities and budget challenges. In our ongoing research effort to develop reliable cost control methodologies, we have found that establishing granular cost controls coincident with programming and conceptual design is paramount to managing cost. Without this proactive approach value engineering is reactive; always one cycle behind in the iterative design process. Through case studies, we will share comparative cost analysis and estimating approaches, and discuss their impact on quality of facilities and design process.

(INV08) The College Funding Crisis: Five Ways Planning Can Help
Presented by: Philip J. Parsons, Director, Sasaki Strategies, Sasaki Associates
How can SCUP planners be most useful in today's economic crisis? State funds for higher education have seen massive cuts; endowments have lost much of their value; parents' and students' capacity to pay ever higher tuition is strained; inequality of access is increasing. If the exuberant and expansive planning of the first years of the century no longer seems relevant, what should planners do? This quick-fire session will present five areas where financial, academic, and physical planning can make a major difference, and will highlight opportunities for leadership, middle management, and faculty to turn the economic downturn to advantage. In each area, participants will learn practical steps to reduce short-term and long-term costs while maintaining or increasing quality.

Participants will take home a list of practical opportunities with multiple links to data sources and research to share with colleagues.

(INV06) Are We Wasting a Perfectly Good Crisis?
This session does not have proceedings files

Presented by: George Pernsteiner, Chancellor, Oregon University System

Endowment earnings have plummeted, unemployment has skyrocketed, family incomes are falling, and state support for universities is dropping faster than at any time in living memory.  At the same time, demand for enrollment at America’s colleges and universities is rising rapidly as citizens seek a safe haven in education as they prepare for their next opportunity—whenever it comes.  State legislatures and Congress, hearing from cash-strapped constituents, are demanding that colleges control costs (and prices) and increase efficiency and productivity. Discuss what universities are doing to meet these challenges.  Are they hunkering down to wait for the storm to pass and the sun to shine again?  Are they wailing and running circles and hoping to attract sympathy?  Are they engaging faculty, staff, students, community partners, business leaders to reinvent themselves and how they do their business in order to improve student learning, increase degree production, re-focus research and innovation, and reduce cost? How can they make sure they do not waste a perfectly good crisis?”

(VS-04) Pre-Planning and Budgeting for High Tech University Buildings
Presented by: Kenneth G. DeBoer, Principal, exp; Scott Kramer, Partner, Plunkett Raysich Architects; Edward Stritch, Chief Executive Officer, The Concord Group; Kate Sullivan, Director, Facilities Planning, University of Wisconsin-System Administration
Inadequate pre-planning and project budgets all too frequently result in slash and burn “Value Engineering” exercises during the design process. This approach negatively affects strategic institutional position, academic outcome, discovery, facility quality, operations, maintenance, and sustainability over the life of the building and falls short of fullling the institutions vision. Investing in effective pre-planning claries institutional vision, enables informed life cycle decisions, and adequately funds the implementation of the vision. This session re-denes pre-planning processes for successful outcomes.

(1101) Transforming the City: University Development as an Agent of Urban Change
Presented by: Bart D. Becker, Associate Vice President, University of Alberta; Leonard O. Rodrigues, Senior Principal, Stantec Architecture Ltd
Sitting derelict for more than 12 years, the old Hudson's Bay Department store was one of the landmarks of Downtown Edmonton, Alberta. The shift in the center of retail shopping to a nearby internal mall hastened the demise of the 400,000 SF store and helped to make Jasper Avenue, the main street of downtown for decades, an abandoned afterthought in the City center.
In addressing a space crisis at the University of Alberta, the VP of Facilities and Operations was faced with the issue of bringing on new space as quickly as possible. The old Department Store became a potential solution if the acquisition, planning, development, execution and governance issues could be brought together quickly and correctly. This Session documents the strategies, the moves, the issues and the results.

(1027) University and School Dashboards: Do They Talk to Each Other?
Presented by: Ruth Leinfellner, Planning Associate, Emory University Strategic Planning; Makeba Morgan Hill, Director, University Strategic Planning, Emory University

Current practice reveals that universities who employ dashboards/scorecards utilize performance indicators which, while indicative of overall performance, may not be best suited for on-going, frequent progress reviews. In addition, because of differences inbetween measure inputs, processes and outcomes, school and unit dashboard rarely link to university overall indicators. The alignment challenge is even greater for universities and medical centers. Emory University is developing school and unit dashboards/scorecards and would like to provide participants an opportunity to learn from its experience.
