Inside Out: Understanding Space and Building Consensus in a Dynamic Environment

Delivered July 23, 2024
Presented by Jared Parylo, Assistant Director, Planning | Lilia Sodre, Space Planner, Strategic Designer
Planning Types: Campus Planning

Building consensus is challenging, but planners who are empowered by knowledge of their campus's space can make informed decisions on how to plan for its most efficient usage. Through an integrated, inclusive, and tactile study of space, we'll share how diverse groups can help build a new baseline of knowledge. Come learn how to develop a grassroots approach on your campus by applying a space occupancy and utilization study that uses actual data and analytical graphics to aid in decision making and strategic planning on a small and large scale.

Learning Outcomes:

  1. Based on your institution's specific needs, use reasoning and justification as a foundation for a self-driven occupancy and utilization study.
  2. Detail a blueprint for a grassroots process, using internal assets and resources to measure space utilization.
  3. Outline a strong model and methodology for effective engagement, workflows, and preliminary conclusions for a space occupancy and utilization study.
  4. Discuss how to integrate a space study into space management and use this as a building block for a robust planning process that informs decision on policymaking and the development of overall institutional strategic goals.
