Learning Outcomes:

Assess an institution’s multifaceted, and sometimes disjointed, approach to planning and design to develop a comprehensive, integrated planning process and final Long Range Development Plan.
Demonstrate and defend the benefits of a long-term, big picture approach to campus development in a time of economic hardship and budget constraints
Facilitate synergy, energy, and on-time product delivery using a tightly integrated planning team; focused project manager; key student, faculty, and staff stakeholders; and meaningful oversight committees.
Explain how to create the organizational and procedural infrastructure to ensure that the University is prepared for short and long-term implementation when the plan is completed.

With architectural design well underway on a new 190,000 gsf biomedical research lab at the University of California, San Diego, the team needed to revisit the School of Medicine’s planning and design standards, which were established prior to the current California state budget crisis and the severe water shortage in San Diego County. Learn about the collaborative sustainable design process that resulted in the use of new design technologies for an ultra-high performance research building and site design to save both energy and water.

Learning Outcomes:

Discuss the typically high energy and water consumption levels of lab buildings and traditional landscape planting and learn how new high performance technologies can greatly reduce consumption of both.
Study and interpret the process whereby the team revisited earlier planning assumptions in the context of powerful financial and environmental change, while maintaining functional and qualitative aspects of the previous campus neighborhood plan, design standards and building program.
Review a positive process for review of campus plans and design standards, to align function and physical development with decreasing operations budgets.
Learn how both institutional commitments to sustainability and increasing scarcity of operational resources can be a catalyst for creative design and engineering solutions.

Impact, Status, and Analysis of California's Twelve (12) New Stem Cell Research Facilities

Presented by: Niraj Dangoria, Associate Dean, Facilities Planning & Management, Stanford University; Christopher Shay, Manager, Capital Projects, Stanford University

Convened by: Michael Shafer, Senior Consultant, The Sextant Group, Inc.

On November 2, 2004 California tax payers approved proposition 71 which provided $3Billion for stem cell research. The proposition language allowed for 10% to be spent on stem cell research facilities.

The State oversight authority (CIRM) required the projects be complete by July 2010. This allowed each institution only two years to plan, design, bid, permit, construct and occupy a major new research facility. We are currently three months from this deadline and it is time to review where these projects stand.

This presentation will provide an in depth look at all 12 major facilities grant projects, giving an assessment of their current status, discussing their impacts on each campus, determining lessons learned, and providing a high level understanding of this investment for the state of California.

Learning Outcomes:

Evaluate the current status of CIRM related facilities projects in the State of California.
Develop a strategy to marry your institutions program needs with sudden, one-time, funding opportunities.
Identify successful strategies employed by CIRM funded institutions to execute projects that met institutional goals and external funding organization requirements.
Apply tested strategies to upcoming American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funding opportunities.

Convened by: David L. Miller, Associate Vice President, Capital Planning & Budget, University of Wisconsin-System Administration

Often planning documents for a college are large, text-filled, to ensure each component of planning is covered. Yet, in a collaborative environment serving the technology savvy this has become counter-productive to implementation of the plan. Today the use of technology in the creation and dissemination of the plan is critical for implementation. West Hills CCD created a concise and engaging master plan to ensure it would be read by all, and implemented, and will share keys to successful planning.

Learning Outcomes:

Evaluate past and current institutional and community data and objectively present in the planning documents.
Identify and assess current needs based on institutional and community data in order to formulate enhanced and specific learning objectives.
Construct key findings and effective strategies for implementation of planning documents; developing concise task oriented and measurable assignments and functions.
