Columbia College Chicago’s transformational new Student Center—the product of a relentless vision, financial strategy, and academic mission—epitomizes the campus’s value proposition of place and community. In this session, we will show how the Student Center launched the institution’s comprehensive strategy to create a new interdisciplinary culture and an urban ecosystem for Chicago’s South Loop. Come learn how you can harness capital assets and resources on your campus to deliver on a vision and drive business objectives, academic mission, and interdisciplinary engagement.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Describe how to use capital projects—through design, process, and outcome—to bolster student success, community engagement, interdisciplinary collaboration, and inclusive culture.
   
2. Champion and consistently communicate a vision while simultaneously navigating stakeholder voices, business challenges, community relations, and evolving academic goals.
   
3. Explain how to launch and implement an urban campus strategy by consolidating and divesting facility assets, reinvesting resources in new capital projects, and developing a future master plan.
   
4. Develop a culture of creative practice founded in interdisciplinary collaboration across academic and administrative departments, community partners, and industry.
