Conference Presentations

This session will explore how Rowan University's Edelman Fossil Park?a museum, research center, and nature park sited around a fossil quarry?uses the past to inform a better future as a world-class destination for scientific discovery. This net zero facility honors the deep history of existing land while ensuring future viability by incorporating site-specific, experience-driven design that preserves the past, reduces environmental impact, and advances institutional mission. Join our panel as they share strategies from Fossil Park aimed at maximizing the value of campus assets, advancing community engagement, promoting a healthier environment, and creating a pipeline of future students.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Discuss how to position institutional assets to fight climate change, promote a healthier and safer environment, and fulfill sustainability goals while on budget and schedule.
2. Identify nontraditional asset types that can expand your campus footprint and increase institutional impact.
3. Support your institutional mission through the built environment by prioritizing placemaking, experiential design, environmental health and safety, and building performance.
