An Intersectional Approach to Campus Planning at Cal Poly Humboldt

By: Kassidy Banducci, Cal Poly Humboldt | Michael Fisher, Cal Poly Humboldt | Georgia Sarkin, SmithGroup | Rosa Sheng, SmithGroup

In 2020, California State Polytechnic University (Cal Poly), Humboldt’s transformation to the system’s third polytechnic required a new intersectional approach to campus physical planning that addresses a spectrum of needs for ambitious growth, future ready resilience, and student persistence. Rapid disruptions affected academic access, achievement, and workforce readiness of Generation Z. The polytechnic implementation inspired a planning process that prioritizes people first to address social, environmental, health, and economic challenges. This session will share lessons learned from the Cal Poly Humboldt physical planning process and provide tactical tools for effective stakeholder engagement, data collection, and establishing metrics of gauging success.
