Conference Proceedings
Monday, October 26, 2009, 1:45 PM–2:45 PM Sixty percent of college-bound students report visual environment as the most important factor in choosing a college. That’s why a first impression is so critical for visiting students and their families. This session explores results of a study applying urban design principles to college campuses to measure their comfort elements. The four necessities are: people, balance, convenience, and interaction; without one of the four, a space will never feel comfortable. (This workshop is also being presented at the SCUP national conference in July.) Learning Outcomes:
