With COVID-19 guidelines often in direct opposition to the intention of the campus residential experience, it's important for schools to maintain a future-focused mindset while planning an institutional response. We will explore how Kenyon College is keeping the momentum of its master plan implementation alive while adapting to the COVID-19 era through the lens of an in-construction library project. Find out how your institution can take precautions to protect students from COVID-19 without sacrificing the residential experience, thereby keeping students more engaged and compliant with stricter rules during their transition back to campus.

Learning Outcomes:

  1. Develop strategies to accomplish your institutional mission and improve student outcomes amid social distancing.
  2. Explain how to design classroom, library, and other spaces on campus that are compliant with COVID-19 guidelines and maintain the intent of the residential experience.
  3. Keep building projects moving forward during periods of disruptive change.
  4. Reassess your campus master plan to gauge its reasonableness post-COVID-19.
