By: Nicholas Santilli, Society for College and University Planning

Join us as we discuss the importance of academic planning and discuss tools and resources that will help your institution move forward.

Campuses need a plan that articulates the form and function of the academic enterprise. Join us as we discuss the importance of academic planning and discuss tools and resources that will help your institution move forward.

Social Equity and the Modern Campus

Framework Plans Level the Playing Field for All Students

By: Brodie Bain, MArch, FAIA, AICP, LEED AP

Campus framework plans for Oregon State University and Bellevue College fully integrate social equity with engagement processes and physical solutions to improve the sense of welcome and inclusion.

From Volume 50 Number 4 | July–September 2022

Abstract: The article explores campus design implications for socially equitable college and university environments. Two institutions that carry the value of social equity as dominant themes in their mission and strategic plans are showcased. Bellevue College’s equity plan acts as the cornerstone for social justice on campus. Oregon State University’s new Strategic Plan 4.0 includes sense of belonging and inclusion as core values. For both, the physical campus framework plans, used to guide campus development and design over time, fully integrate social equity through processes of engagement and physical solutions that improve a sense of welcome and inclusion.
