Conference Presentations

Planning for certainty in higher education's unpredictable climate is impossible. The living framework, a geographic information system-based (GIS) tool, gives institutions agency to adjust scenarios and measure impacts against set metrics to facilitate decision making and guide capital plans. Georgia Institute of Technology (GT) applies this integrated planning process for long-term relevancy as campus priorities and external factors evolve, the impacts of hybrid work emerge, and unexpected ideas develop. You can use GT's innovative planning tools and strategies to meaningfully respond to dynamic stakeholder needs, manage institutional complexity, measure sustainability and growth outcomes, and build an effective governance model.

1. Strategize ways to tailor a living plan framework to your institution's unique needs and complexities.
2. Evaluate readily-available GIS technology for creating a digital clone of your campus to serve as a repository of current and future campus data.
3. Discuss how to manage space needs and resource planning within the context of evolving needs around growth, carbon-neutrality, hybridity, equity, and limited funding resources.
4. Champion new methods for collaborative planning that promote diversity of thought, integration of new ideas, and participation across campus stakeholders.
