Convened by: Phyllis T. H. Grummon, Consultant, Higher Education Planning
Many types of space increase in value during periods of high demand and decrease in periods of low demand. Travel companies vary the cost of their space, whether it be a bedroom, a car, or an airline seat, depending upon demand. By contrast, higher education generally uses a one-size-fits-all method for pricing. This session explores the time value of campus space, including differential pricing for courses offered at low peak times, the value of closing buildings when there is no demand, reducing library hours, how to value/price a space based on its demand, and more.

Convened by: Randy S. Tritz, Partner, Shen Milsom Wilke
Reports of the death of the campus are an exaggeration, but a profound transformation is now underway. From office to classroom, library to laboratory, the academic experience of students and instructors is being ever fragmented by digital means that are only months old. The synchronous sharing of place and time is increasingly rare. The campus itself is becoming one of the only experiences shared by all...just not at the same time. This session is about what is happening, what elements of campuses are of lasting functionality and value, and why they will remain while being transformed by the digital stream in which they stand.

Goodhew, Architect & Planner, University of Colorado Boulder; Kambiz Khalili, Executive Director, Housing and Dining Services, University of Colorado Boulder; Philip Simpson, Assistant Director for Facilities Planning, University of Colorado Boulder
Convened by: Kevin Henning, Chicago Loop Office Manager, Graef USA
In 2005, housing and dining services at the University of Colorado-Boulder faced a daunting challenge. Three dining centers needed renovation. Residence halls, most over 40 years old, were obsolete. Enrollment growth required additional beds be built, but political support for traditional housing initiatives was non-existent. In the face of these challenges, the department developed a 20-year plan to renovate and expand its housing facilities without privatization or substantial rate increases. This session will share an integrated planning approach that changed not only residential life, but also student services and academics. Learning Outcomes:

Spangehl, Vice President for Accreditation Relations, North Central Association of Colleges and Universities The Higher Learning Commission
Convened by: Adrian R. Clark, Executive Director, Institutional Planning & Assessment, Rocky Vista University
In his introduction to the recent issue of Planning for Higher Education, Michael Middaugh noted that quality assurance in higher education (in other words, accreditation) is predicated on a system of voluntary peer review to ensure that colleges and universities conform to standards that define excellence within postsecondary education. Since the mid twentieth century, as the US government has devoted ever greater sums of taxpayer dollars to higher education, it has also required increased compliance with regulation via accreditation. Presenters will examine the tensions between excellence/improvement and regulatory compliance as they play out in institutional planning and assessment practices as well as through the accreditation process. Proceedings are not available for this session at this time. Learning Outcomes:

Convened by: Ann M. Boudinot-Amin, Executive Director, American University in Cairo
The vast majority of American college students attend two thousand or so private and public institutions that might be described as the Middle--reputable educational institutions, but not considered equal to the elite and entrenched upper echelon of the Ivy League and other prestigious schools. Richard DeMillo has a warning for these colleges and universities in the Middle: If you do not change, you are heading for irrelevance and marginalization. In Abelard to Apple, DeMillo argues that these institutions, clinging precariously to a centuries-old model of higher education, are ignoring the social, historical, and economic forces at work in today's world. In the age of iTunes, open source software, and for-profit online universities, there are new rules for higher education. Proceedings are not available for this session. Learning Outcomes:

Convened by: Melissa B. Bennett, Building Services Group Leader, Dewberry
After a university-led master plan recommended an unrealistic $70 million underground addition to their 180,000 square-foot main library, Clemson University's dean of libraries took a different avenue. The dean worked with the project architect to craft a "road map" plan—a phased approach that optimized the library, increasing its capacity, efficiency, and functionality without adding a single square foot. By making the most rather than just making do, the library is poised for both current and future use. Learning Outcomes:

Convened by: Jennifer Swann, Professor, Biological Sciences, Lehigh University
By adopting principles applied in successful for-profit organizations, senior-level executives at not-for-profit institutions can answer today's tough questions: What should we keep in mind while running a non-profit college in today's economy? How do we satisfy increasing, expensive technological and programmatic demands while maintaining a healthy surplus? How do we navigate the "accreditation minefield" and plan around associated unknowns, like approval outcomes and timelines? Institutions of higher education must remain nimble and innovative in today's environment by responding as a for-profit would to competitive threats, governmental regulation, and areas of opportunity.

Convened by: Alan Brian Colyer, Principal, Gensler
IT can enable your institution to meet its goals, and therefore deserves a seat at the strategic planning table. Unfortunately, IT is often regarded as an after-thought, largely because of a tendency to represent themselves with arcane job titles, rather than the customer-facing services they can provide. To take advantage of IT's strengths, you have to understand what IT can provide and how to get it. This presentation will present results from the Georgia State University four year development of service catalog and budgeting transparency that clarified IT's role in strategic planning, bringing IT to the table.

May, Senior Project Development Manager, Campus Planning & Design, Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Dominick Roveto, Principal, Ellenzweig
Convened by: Lisa Ryker, Director of Planning, WLC Architects, Inc.
The concept of shared spaces and resources need not be restricted to sunny corner breakout lounges or efficient lab equipment corridors. New typologies are emerging for how and where faculty and students can share and collaborate, begetting buildings that are more efficient to construct, operate, and maintain. Facilities like Massachusetts Institute of Technology's (MIT) new David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research could not exist without these shared resources, which are growing as science becomes more interdisciplinary and equipment becomes increasingly expensive.

McGee, Executive Director Campus Administration, College of Southern Nevada
Convened by: Graham Morrison, Syndicate Secretary, University of Cambridge
In two years, the College of Southern Nevada (CSN) revised its mission, values, and vision, then completed a new institutional strategic plan. CSN navigated these changes efficiently thanks to an inclusive, step-by-step process. The core themes, mandated by CSN's accrediting agency, the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU), were derived from the one-sentence mission statement. Goals, objectives, strategies, data sources, and timelines were defined and created through forums, open discussions, and community involvement. To keep the process on track, software sends out automatic reminders of due dates for the annual status report. CSN's process can be duplicated and could spark ideas for your institution's planning process. Learning Outcomes:
