Delivered July 22, 2024
Presented by Greg Aldridge, Sr. Lab Planner | Erik Halle, Senior Director, Knowledge Enterprise Operations | Stan Klonowski, Associate Director
Planning Types: Campus Planning

The cost of building and operating research space continues to increase alongside the profile of these spaces on campus. Space management practices can help to enhance institutional reputation by growing research on a more affordable and sustainable basis. This session will examine Arizona State University's (ASU) process of managing research space in new and existing buildings, the research funding and facilities ecosystem, common metrics for productivity, and justifications for space management. We'll provide data-driven insight into ASU's implementation, ideas for translating the process to your institution, and justification for implementing our research space management and optimization practices.

Learning Outcomes:

  1. Justify a research space management program to your campus community, from administration to facilities to faculty and researchers.
  2. Explain how to implement a research space management program using ASU's data analysis and operational practices.
  3. Avoid ASU's beginner mistakes around space utilization through experience and reflection.
  4. Discuss how optimizing your institution's use of research space can maximize institutional impact.
