Academic Workforce Housing: Five Tools for Creating Successful Programs

By: Tracy Mansour, Director of Housing Real Estate Services | Julie Skolnicki, Senior Managing Director | Victor Van Zandt, CEO & President

As populations grow and housing supply falls behind, campuses across North America must consider housing solutions as an important element of recruiting and retaining academic talent.
Abstract: As populations grow and housing supply falls behind, campuses across North America must consider housing solutions as an important element of recruiting and retaining academic talent. This is collectively known as academic workforce housing. In this session, we'll outline the five tools of academic workforce housing: assisting with the cost of housing, building housing, buying real estate, lending, and empowering employees to become educated about available options and programs. We will also review several examples of successful academic workforce housing programs, both large and small.

Research Space Utilization Metrics: Putting Them to Work for You

By: Greg Aldridge, Sr. Lab Planner | Erik Halle, Senior Director, Knowledge Enterprise Operations | Stan Klonowski, Associate Director

The cost of building and operating research space continues to increase alongside the profile of these spaces on campus.
Abstract: The cost of building and operating research space continues to increase alongside the profile of these spaces on campus. Space management practices can help to enhance institutional reputation by growing research on a more affordable and sustainable basis. This session will examine Arizona State University's (ASU) process of managing research space in new and existing buildings, the research funding and facilities ecosystem, common metrics for productivity, and justifications for space management. We'll provide data-driven insight into ASU's implementation, ideas for translating the process to your institution, and justification for implementing our research space management and optimization practices.

Strategic Restructuring: Creating an Office of Strategy, Planning, and Analysis

By: Christine Hoyt, Vice President for Strategy | Ben Pingel, Director of Strategic Planning and Communication | Eija Sumner, Communications Coordinator | Jon Walter, Assistant Vice President for System Strategy and Insight

Institutions require accurate data to support decision making and planning, so they can and should carefully consider how this data is organized.
Abstract: Institutions require accurate data to support decision making and planning, so they can and should carefully consider how this data is organized. As higher education continues to evolve to meet new challenges, there are significant opportunities to rethink how institutions are organized to benefit from blending the power of institutional strategy, integrated planning, and analytics. Washington State University (WSU) has evolved to combine these institutional functions into a central unit. This session will show you how to embrace collaborative partnerships and organize similar functions at your institution to bring focus, coordination, and alignment to your institutional planning.

Considering the Invisible Disabilities

By: Kathleen Kelly, Principal

Designing for the neurodivergent community necessitates a nuanced approach that recognizes their unique sensory experiences and perspectives.
Abstract: Designing for the neurodivergent community necessitates a nuanced approach that recognizes their unique sensory experiences and perspectives. This research project delves into the intersection of the built environment, neurodiverse users, neuroarchitecture, and neuroscience to create spaces that enhance the neurodivergent experience and foster inclusivity on modern academic campuses. Come learn how environments that acknowledge neurodiversity and provide options to be alone together, to retreat, or to socialize are essential for ensuring inclusion and wellbeing for a diverse campus community.

When City Parks Are Your Quad

Urban Campus Planning for Safety and Well-Being

By: Joel Pettigrew, MA, Higher Education Administrator and Strategist

This is a SCUP Fellow Research Project Final Report for the 2022–2023 program. This report explores how the urban campus can best support student development in a safe, yet open environment.
Abstract: How can the campus best support student development in a safe, yet open environment? On an urban campus, these concerns are intensified: There is much more localized activity for students to engage with in their city environment, and many more stakeholders influence how the institution can assert itself in that environment.

In this 2022-2023 SCUP Fellow research report, Joel Pettigrew reflects on how campus edge dynamics and student sense of security play out at several urban campuses. Pettigrew weaves together his operational understanding of campus life with a design understanding of how planners and architects approach the campus to explore how these “two languages” inform student security and well-being, and notes in conclusion that there are many research threads yet to follow.
