Conference Presentations

Rapidly changing users and technology paired with long project timelines requires institutions to think ahead and implement innovative strategies for creating new, high-end engineering facilities. Campus facilities must be nimble and ready to support multiple types of students. At the forefront of the AI technology revolution, George Mason University is undertaking large construction projects to serve a spectrum of undergraduate, masters, and doctoral students and create ecosystems of academic, industry, government, and community users. We’ll share planning strategies for AI technology learning spaces, practical solutions for designing future-focused facilities, and ways of promoting collaboration and connection across multiple communities.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Detail processes that allow universities to plan and design facilities for rapidly changing teaching, research, technologies, and users.
2. Identify ways that physical campus facilities can create vibrant ecosystems and learning spaces to support connection and collaboration.
3. Discuss guidelines for flexibility and future-proofing innovative technology facilities.
4. Apply Mason’s lessons learned to your institution’s learning facilities planning and design processes.
