Conference Presentations

There are distinct advantages to both renovation and new construction; an optimal blend of these approaches can enable opportunities for physical growth, evolving programs, and a minimally disruptive reimagining of campus buildings. We’ll explore two case studies from James Madison University (JMU) ?the College of Business and the Carrier Library?that illustrate how to affordably transform outdated and stylistically unloved buildings into vibrant academic and student life hubs. Join us to gain a greater understanding of the hidden value of aging buildings, considering aspects such as functionality, cost, operations, sustainability, and stylistic potential.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Identify and evaluate the previously unrealized functional, architectural, and financial potential of existing campus buildings.
2. Discuss effective ways of exploring creative, flexible, and sustainable solutions to overcome the limitations of existing campus buildings.
3. Consider how to more effectively blend the benefits of renovation and new construction and determine how space programming interfaces with this process.
4. Explain how to initiate and navigate a low-risk planning, visioning, and costing process to translate conceptual thoughts into real ideas and numbers.
