Reimagining Science and Engineering Programs through the Living Masterplan

Abstract: Science and engineering programs continue to grow and attract funding. Strategic planning can maximize new and repurposed space for STEM programs to address aging infrastructure, changing research, evolving student needs, and an uncertain future. To build stakeholder consensus and develop an achievable plan, we'll define key metrics behind the best use of existing space and showcase how specific data-driven tools and analytics transform traditional planning into a living masterplan. By applying a living masterplan and embracing data-driven tools, you'll be able to reach stakeholder consensus sooner and develop more efficient plans that are both implementable and adaptable to future changes.

Leveraging New Campus Development for Community Empowerment

Abstract: Affordable and accessible higher education is key to upward mobility and community transformation, especially for many rural and remote suburban communities that have limited access to resources. In this session, we'll explore the potential synergies between existing community colleges and their satellite locations. How can institutions drive community-engaged development in places that really need it? Is it better to build on existing assets or to build new? Discover how a community charted its own path toward a new college campus by organizing, passing a bond, and ultimately developing a tech-enabled, high flex learning environment with community space.

Master Planning for Tripartite Missions

Academic Medical Centers Must Focus on Health Care, Education, and Research

The authors share best practices for comprehensive integrated planning processes to meet evolving demands, build consensus and a shared vision, and successfully prepare for implementation.

From Volume 52 Number 4 | July–September 2024

Abstract: Academic medical centers sit at the intersection of health care, education, and research in service of the community. New models of care delivery, work, and learning require these systems to adapt and innovate to remain relevant while addressing regional health care demands and advancing strategic priorities. We discuss planning strategies to empower institutions to align capital with their mission to achieve longstanding success. This article shares best practices for comprehensive integrated planning processes across tripartite missions to meet growing and evolving demands, build consensus and a shared vision, and successfully prepare for implementation.

Building a New Medical School With Integrated Project Delivery

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.
