Conference Presentations

Transforming vacant off-campus buildings into vibrant centers of learning and experience extends an institution's presence and mission and helps dismantle town and gown barriers. Using the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Nimoy Theater as a case study, this session will discuss the reasons, benefits, and unique aspects of building off campus to expand community engagement opportunities for students, faculty, and alumni. We'll share real time lessons in navigating a purchase, adapting a historic building, meeting building standards, coordinating with local agencies, and applying university standards for safety, access, sustainability and contracting.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Identify and consider potential opportunities for off-campus development.
2. Identify key tools necessary for successfully facilitating the building process with various stakeholders, agencies, and design teams.
3. Apply skills specific to off-campus development to help ensure a smooth process from pre-design through construction.
4. Evaluate the key elements of an existing building that contribute to successful performing arts venues that embrace a diverse campus and community.
