Learning Resources

Abstract: Owing to the pandemic's economic impact, campus budgets are facing greater challenges to recruit students and meet expectations for state-of-the-art spaces. In this session, we'll demonstrate how to renovate your campus spaces to maximize programming and performance. We've integrated key aspects of high-performance design into a planning approach that addresses the unique challenges of modernizing existing buildings, accommodating future-focused programming needs, and minimizing operational costs. Come learn about a process that will help you consider the highest use of all resources through a variety of lenses and work with stakeholders on your campus to develop a common vision.

Abstract: Post-COVID, many institutions are finding that their existing space portfolio no longer matches their students' needs, but their budgets are stretched. This session will explore Longwood University's mission to reallocate existing space to align with a new core curriculum centered on deep learning, creativity, and collaboration. We'll share Longwood's process and demonstrate how your institution can use it to assess existing space, reallocate underutilized space, align its budget, and advocate for student and faculty buy-in.
