Following SCUP’s highly successful in-person 2021 Southern Regional Conference in Knoxville where we reset, reconnected, and reignited our passions and efforts in integrated planning, we look forward to continuing the positivity, momentum, and collaboration this year in Tampa!
Conference attendees will have the opportunity to learn from their peers about new and ongoing efforts to effect positive change in all aspects of the campus, from academic programming to the built environment. Join us to discover how you can create a more resilient future state of higher education through thoughtful, engaging, and innovative integrated planning.
In Sharper Focus: Student Success and Student Experience
While this year’s conference program will explore integrated planning through many different lenses, the ultimate goal of integrated planning—and the mission of every institution—is to support students in their educational journey. In the wake of a pandemic that highlighted disparities in student access and outcomes, mental health and resiliency, representation and advocacy, we are sharpening our focus on supporting student success and creating a better student experience.
Keynote presentations will share lessons learned regarding: student success and experience, including health, wellness, engagement, and satisfaction; how two years of hybrid and remote education is challenging our past notions of what a resilient, integrated institutional plan looks and feels like; and the importance of the connections between institutions, students, faculty, and community partners within the future of higher education.
We look forward to hosting you in downtown Tampa along the Hillsborough River, home of the University of Tampa, University of South Florida, and Hillsborough Community College!
SCUP is where planning comes together.

USF Judy Genshaft Honors College
Started in 2002, the Honors College is four-year program providing educational opportunities to the most highly motivated, intellectually curious, and academically diverse and accomplished students at USF. The new facility strives to provide an inspiring new home to not only those within and supporting the Honors College programs, but the entire university community. The project is designed by local architecture firm, FleischmanGarciaMazlowski in partnership with Morphosis, led by Pritzker Prize and AIA Gold Medal winner, Thom Mayne, FAIA. The signature building provides new visions for academics, engagement programs, innovative classrooms, and community creative spaces and will provide a more challenging, beneficial academic experience, and greater co-curricular and community collaboration opportunities.
Several project-specific design objectives embodied in the design include:
- Social Connectivity & Community: layers of transparency create a sense of community within a community, with communal and collaborative spaces.
- Discovery & Surprise: a place that is unexpected, playful, and inspires creativity and supports, augments and fosters inter-disciplinary academic thinking and dialogue.
- Hands on Learning, Making & Sharing: Flexible, innovative “sandbox” spaces enable collaboration and experimentation and provides opportunities to showcase Honors College to the rest of the community.
- Intimate & Personal: a balance of meditative and private study spaces create a “third space” for users.
- Well Being & Sustainability: daylighting and transparency provides for wellness and a feeling of security for a facility accessible 24/7 to Honors College students.
- Flexibility & Growth: the building provides future-proof spaces that are functional, efficient and adaptable for Honors College and Office of National Scholarships to grow into.
The final design of the building is approximately 86,500 GSF and being constructed for $47,500,000 with a total project budget of $56,165,000 and will be complete in Spring 2023.

USF Student Wellness Center
In summer 2008, Hahn Engineering and Hastings & Chivetta Architects performed a comprehensive feasibility study for a new Student Wellness Center. This study was to quantify the total space need for services, programs and events that “complement the educational mission of the University.”
The study resulted in a proposed five-floor Wellness Center alongside and connected to the existing Campus Recreation building. To address immediate needs, an addition to Campus Recreation was constructed (new fitness space, a two-court gym and administrative offices). Subsequent efforts to meet the fitness needs were met through several renovations to both existing Campus Recreation as well as construction of two new satellite fitness centers.
In the winter of 2014, after reviewing the proposed Wellness Center’s dedicated space for Student Health Services, it was determined the space was not large enough to accommodate the expanded services that Student Health had developed since the original study. The current building, occupied since 1980, is 12,500 square feet, woefully inadequate to serve a student population of 48,600. Institutional standards for Student Health Services recommend an average of one square foot per student.
In 2015, the decision was made to fund a separate facility for all of the business and clinical services of Student Health in the vicinity of the original study. USF Student Government began accumulating Capital Improvement Trust Fund distributions to finance design and construction. Barr & Barr Contractors and CannonDesign were hired in 2019. The project broke ground in Summer 2021 and will be completed in Winter 2023. The building is totally student-funded being, is approximately 50,615 GSF with a current construction cost of $22,032,000 and a total project cost of $27,402,000.

USF Athletics Indoor Performance Facility
The first phase of the planned USF Football Center is a new 89,400 GSF Athletics Indoor Performance Facility (IPF). The IPF will provide an enclosed and environmentally-controlled synthetic turf practice field for USF’s Football Program, USF Intercollegiate Athletics, and other University organizations. The primary space in the IPF is a full-size regulation NCAA field including field goals, end zones, and a 20’ safety zone perimeter. The building will also include an entry lobby, viewing gallery, and video production facilities.
The project will be located on the east side of the Athletic District, directly on Sycamore Drive. This location provides easy accessibility for public events and better visibility for the program. The site selection accommodates future construction of a Football Operations Building and provides easy access to other training facilities.
Project Success Factors:
- Forward-thinking, Functional Design
- Flexibility & Adaptability
- A Collaborative Process and a Committed Team
- On Time, On Budget, On Scope
- Optimizing Resources: Most Value for the Budget
- Architecture with a Brand Presence/Message
- Integrated into Athletics Campus – Not Just a Building
- Increased Prestige, Recruitment Tool
- Attracting Philanthropy
- Sustainability and the Pursuitof Wellness
The building, designed by HOK Sports with R. R. Simmons Construction acting as Construction Manager, is approximately 88,600 GSF and the current construction cost is $20,365,000 with a total project cost of $22,655,000.
