Healing an entire campus precinct requires vision, impeccable data, and team expertise. In this session, we'll share how we reactivated a stagnant and segmented university center in a long-neglected sector of campus into a new 'crossroads' destination that connects students, faculty, and staff. This modernized university center, which prioritizes wellbeing through its inclusive and accessible design, is the successful result of a phased approach and creative synthesizing of multiple stakeholder needs to deliver consensus. Come learn how to achieve your complex project goals and reactivate your campus as an inclusive, accessible, and connective resource for the entire campus community.

Learning Outcomes:

  1. Foresee and account for political nuances on campus and identify relevant diverse stakeholders to realize a more inclusive and accessible design.
  2. Generate conversations that will bring your campus community together to create a physical environment that prioritizes wellbeing.
  3. Empower your design consultant partners for maximum efficacy.
  4. Identify the resources and deliverables you need to move your project forward and create a welcoming space for the whole campus community.
