Decisions That Stick: Applying the CBA Matrix to Complex Projects

Abstract: The Choosing by Advantage (CBA) Matrix is a powerful tool for decision-making in the design and construction industry, from the planning process through project completion, and it delivers efficiency through fewer changes. CBAs take all stakeholders into account when defining advantages, so campus planners can achieve quality, an on-time schedule, and cost savings at every stage. Via simulation, we'll demonstrate how you can apply CBAs across all phases of a project. By presenting and providing step-by-step, compelling visuals, our team will enable you to implement CBAs tactically and early in your next project.

Bridging Research Silos

Improve Collaboration with a Planning Framework

By: Donald Merritt, PhD, and Craig Park, BSArch, Assoc. AIA

The authors emphasize practical applications and the integration of diverse expertise as a transformative approach to educational facility design.

From Volume 52 Number 4 | July–September 2024

Abstract: This article explores the application of interdisciplinary translational design (ITD) as a method to overcome disciplinary silos, enhance collaboration and integration across various fields, and promote a culture of respect and cooperation. ITD facilitates the creation of adaptable, technology-rich environments supportive of future-oriented research. Emphasizing practical applications and the integration of diverse expertise, ITD is presented as a transformative approach to educational facility design, fostering more effective interdisciplinary interactions and optimized research outcomes.

Measuring Campus Initiative Outcomes of Diversity and High-performance Teams

By: Beyazmin Jimenez, Director of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Culture | Ai Kurokawa, Principal | Tammy Trung Ngo, Energy Designer | Tim Singleton, Assistant Vice President of Capital Projects

The planning, designing, and building of campus initiatives requires broad and diverse perspectives.
Abstract: The planning, designing, and building of campus initiatives requires broad and diverse perspectives. This session will present the case for implementing sustainable ways of diversifying the owner, design, and construction industry through emergent data collection. We'll explore the link between diversity and high-performance of project development, process, and teams, and discuss the developing research and data related to owner satisfaction. Join us to find out how diverse and high-performance teams can add to the continuous improvement of processes and create sustainable changes towards a more diverse pipeline of multiple disciplines that impact the campus.

Engaging Faculty in Classroom Planning and Design

By: Karen Detlefsen, Professor of Philosophy and Education | Bonnie Netel, Associate Director of Classroom Planning and Design | Gary Purpura, Associate Vice Provost for Education

Flexible classroom space is at a premium, making it necessary to link design with utilization to facilitate projected academic program growth. Including faculty in classroom planning and design processes is a vital part of supporting pedagogical innovation in campus learning spaces.
Abstract: Flexible classroom space is at a premium, making it necessary to link design with utilization to facilitate projected academic program growth. Including faculty in classroom planning and design processes is a vital part of supporting pedagogical innovation in campus learning spaces. This session will highlight recent strategic planning efforts with faculty and staff at the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) focused on Central Pool classrooms and support for teaching and learning. We'll share ideas about how to facilitate collaboration between faculty, staff, and experts in the industry to maintain and advance flexible classrooms that support pedagogy and program development.

Leveraging Progressive Design-Build Delivery for Capital Projects

By: Brandon Dekker, Principal | Brian Pratt, Associate Vice Chancellor and Campus Architect | Marijke Smit, Principal, Education Strategies | Khristina Stone, Preconstruction Manager

California recently passed legislation that permits its public entities to leverage Progressive Design-Build (PDB) delivery methods for capital projects.
Abstract: California recently passed legislation that permits its public entities to leverage Progressive Design-Build (PDB) delivery methods for capital projects. Other states are following suit, which will upend traditional planning and design processes. This session will outline necessary changes to pre-design planning processes and considerations to set projects up for success under a PDB delivery model. We'll share tools that will help you achieve better outcomes in your planning and design processes, including lessons learned from our own successes and challenges of using PDB as a project delivery method.

Building a New Medical School With Integrated Project Delivery

By: Jacqueline Norman, Campus Architect | Linda Reimann, Chief of Staff and Assistant Dean, Strategic Innitatives | James Simeo, Principal

Effective means and methods for building projects result in campus environments that advance institutional missions and goals, ensure student success, and support campus communities working for change.
Abstract: Effective means and methods for building projects result in campus environments that advance institutional missions and goals, ensure student success, and support campus communities working for change. This session will demonstrate how administrators, planners, and designers joined forces to coordinate an integrated project delivery to build a new medical school that promotes success for a diverse student body. We'll highlight strategies for prioritizing during the decision-making process, including identifying physical space needs to support program initiatives, developing planning guidelines for those needs, and enacting a design-build process to meet those needs in the built environment.

Using Occupant Evaluation Data to Inform Higher Education Design

By: Joe Klocek, Director, Planning, Design and Construction | Jeffrey Puleo, Vice President | Renae Rich, Senior Associate / Occupant Evaluation Manager / Principal Investigator

Campus facility design is a complex process that involves many sources of opinion and influence. Educational environments must enhance evolving pedagogies, support learning, administrative, and social functions, and accommodate ever-changing institutional needs.
Abstract: Campus facility design is a complex process that involves many sources of opinion and influence. Educational environments must enhance evolving pedagogies, support learning, administrative, and social functions, and accommodate ever-changing institutional needs. The systematic use of standardized evaluation tools for assessment of higher education facilities provides comprehensive insight into occupant experience from diverse, unique perspectives for informed and integrated planning decisions. In this session, we'll share practical strategies for conducting occupant evaluations across all types of facilities, as well as occupant outcome findings and the resulting planning decisions.
