Conference Presentations

Data science is a rapidly developing discipline and serves as a catalyst for the future development and management of institutional faculties. This session will examine the unique engagement process behind the University of Virginia's (UVA) 'School without Walls', as well as its dynamic programming and design for serving an emerging discipline. This project plays a special role in providing a venue for community and industry interaction and research. We'll explore points of engagement with an expanding faculty throughout the design process, which inspired flexible internal planning, and reflect on the appropriateness of wider contextual influences on the design solution.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Evaluate recent stakeholder engagement, identify lessons learned, and set expectations for future engagement processes, especially when working with rapidly evolving groups.
2. Anticipate the ways in which emerging programs may challenge institutional norms and processes to chart a course for piloting strategic changes.
3. Recognize and promote the impact of architectural identity in creating a successful emerging academic discipline and describe how a contemporary architectural language can find a place on an historic campus.
4. Champion the ability of an expanding and outward-facing department to anchor a campus expansion that inspires cross-institutional collaboration.
