Conference Presentations

In order for institutions to support students’ desire for engagement and impact within their local, regional, and national communities, they must plan and design spaces that foster instruction, discourse, and invention. This session will evaluate Thurgood Marshall Hall on its promise as an integrated scholar-practitioner community within the University of Maryland’s (UMD) Do Good Campus for social impact education. After a year of occupation, we’ll share how we conducted a qualitative assessment of the building with a wide cross-section of stakeholders and how the resulting lessons will impact the campus’s ‘Do Good’ mission and inform future planning and design.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Identify space types that user assessments demonstrate as being most supportive of social impact education.
2. Reference user experience to advocate for in-demand space types during programming.
3. Balance competing stakeholder priorities when evaluating the use of emerging technology in educational space design.
4. Build support from campus decision makers for design that fosters student-led social impact initiatives.
