Presented by: Rebecca G. Barnes, University Architect & Assistant Vice Provost for Campus Planning, University of Washington-Seattle Campus; Kateri Schlessman, Senior Planner, University of Washington-Seattle Campus

Discover the new 'West of 15th Avenue,' at the University of Washington.

In 2020, the Sound Transit Light Rail will open a new station in the University District adjacent to the University of Washington. At the same time, the UW is investing millions in building student housing, research facilities, and growing to meet the increasing demand of undergraduate students. This session will examine how a major research campus brought together multiple partners and stakeholders to engage in a visionary discussion to change the University’s approach to West of 15th Avenue to one that focuses on being Clean, Safe and Green. Envisioned as an EcoDistrict, this plan develops shared goals and priorities. This session will restore your belief that planning can and will make a difference in reducing greenhouse gases, while improving the town-gown relationship as a transit oriented district intersects with a research, student housing, global education, and vibrant retail area to create an Eco-District West of 15th Avenue.

Presented by: Susan L. Painter, Director, Research Studio & Senior Planner, AC Martin Partners, Inc.; Timothy J. Trevan, Director of Student Housing and Conference Services

California State University-Northridge built a 400-bed facility, specifically designed as freshman-engagement housing, on a campus that previously had only apartment housing. Statistically significant results from a 2-year behavioral post-occupancy study show that, compared with campus apartment residents, students living in the freshman-engagement housing have higher social, emotional, and overall adjustment-to-college scores on a nationally-normed student adaptation assessment. Furthermore, purpose-designed gathering spaces were found to successfully promote the friendships and social networks credited in national retention research with supporting higher graduation rates.

How can this research be conducted economically and leveraged for the greatest impact? The speakers share what they learned through two user research projects at the University of Washington, one campus-wide and one project-specific. They present a range of strategies for collecting client data and describe how several new campus learning spaces were designed in response to study findings.

(CN040) Effective Space Management Decision Making to Inspire Community
Presented by: Sandra M. Blanchette, Director of Strategic Initiatives, University of Massachusetts-Boston

Decision-making about space is a perennial issue in higher education, often referred to as an “Ivory Tower” by external constituents and known by insiders to have departments isolated in “Silos.” Effective space management can work to break down these barriers and inspire a sense of community within the institution.

(CN051) Nolli Revisited: A Systematic Approach to Building Campus Community
Presented by: Barbara M. Martin, Vice President for Administrative Services, Olympic College; Walter A. Schacht, Principal Architect, Schacht Aslani Architects

Four-year schools have a tradition of creating spaces that foster student interaction and collaboration. In contrast, community colleges have historically been planned in a way that emphasizes vehicular access over campus gathering spaces. The Washington Association of Community and Technical Colleges (WACTC) Instruction Commission recently published nine guiding principles for the future of community college facilities. Many of these principles focus on the importance of community spaces on campus, signaling a paradigm shift at the state level in the understanding the importance of community space on community college campuses. This presentation explores the collaborative and systematic re-thinking, through master planning and building design, of public space on several distinctly community college campuses.

The initial vision and definition of community and the resulting reality will be contrasted with parallel changes in society and policy. Aspects where planning was able to accommodate unanticipated change will be identified and lessons learned where change created challenges will be shared.

(CN056) Community Colleges as Catalysts for Urban Growth and Sustainable Living
Presented by: George Copa, Educational Planner, Oregon State University; Dennis Haskell, Principal, SRG Partnership Inc.; Jane Hendricks, Principal, SRG Partnership Inc.

Skyrocketing enrollment at community colleges across the country has contributed to their evolution in promoting a wide range of student goals and diverse learning objectives. Such learning centers can no longer function as isolated compounds. As urban living evolves, community colleges are integrating into their local fabric to better serve the community and become centers for 24/7, mixed-use lifestyles. Through expanded activities, community colleges are sharing important amenities, such as libraries and childcare, and serving as positive models for diversity and sustainable living.

Wednesday, March 23, 2011, 9:45 AM–10:45 AM
(CN038) Reconnecting the University and its Community: The LTU Melbourne Campus Masterplan
Presented by: Geoffrey Hanmer, Director, ARINA Hayball

Many campuses in suburban locations have too much land for any planned level of academic growth. The LTU Melbourne Campus is approximately 125 Hectares or just over 300 acres in area. This area is sufficient to carry over 150,000 students (Effective Full Time Student Load or EFTSL), which is more than five times the planned LTU enrollment for 2030. This common problem has given rise to an uncommon solution. ARINA consultants and LTU have developed a plan to co-develop the peripheral lands in a way that will advantage the university community, by providing them with services and opportunities for commercializing research.  Additionally, the local community is provided with links to the recreation and sporting facilities that the campus offers.

Presented by: Maggie Farrell, Dean of Libraries, University of Wyoming; Brad Hinthorne, Partner, Perkins+Will

The Information Library and Learning Center (IL2C) at the University of Wyoming is the third major expansion of the central library at the state’s largest public university. Directly adjacent to the student union and the new school of business, the IL2C provides resources and state-of-the-art technology to the campus community (15,000), the residents of Laramie (30,000), and the state of Wyoming (500,000). This session will analyze and compare the evolution of library planning, operations, and design since the original library opened on campus in 1923, and the evolving role of the library as a central part of the community of the campus, the city, and the state.

Wednesday, March 23, 2011, 11:00 AM–12:00 PM
(CN010) Student Health and Wellness: Making Healthy Living the College Experience
Presented by: Emil Rodolfa, Director, Counseling and Psychological Services, University of California-Davis; John A. Ruffo, Partner, WRNS Studio

Psychological and physical pressures on college students have intensified recently, and demand for environments that serve their multifaceted needs has grown. Universities are expected to be supportive communities that ease these pressures by fostering holistic well-being. This presentation will use the Student Health and Wellness Center, at the University of California-Davis, as a case study to explore the role of student health and wellness centers within this support system, helping to integrate healthy living with the college experience.
