Conference Presentations

Colleges and universities are seeking to engage in equitable planning and design processes that uphold institutional values and reflect the needs of broad, diverse audiences to create spaces that inspire innovation. In this session, we'll share how to successfully construct and implement an integrated planning, programming, and design process for the delivery of innovation spaces that extend the mission of community-based campus programs and resources. By developing a planning and design process that partners with key stakeholders, institutions and designers can create interdisciplinary spaces that foster collaboration, innovation, and access for the benefit of students, faculty, and the community.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Promote innovation and entrepreneurship programs on your campus that share resources with the full spectrum of university and community constituents.
2. Detail an engagement and programming process that embraces wide participation and leads to effective and robust decision making.
3. Envision an interdisciplinary facility that does not fit within the typical university hierarchy of college-department-program.
4. Discuss how to contribute to a vibrant university and community hub, enhance partnerships, and create a destination for outward-facing programs.
