Presented by Joe Klocek, Director, Planning, Design and Construction | Jeffrey Puleo, Vice President | Renae Rich, Senior Associate / Occupant Evaluation Manager / Principal Investigator
Planning Types: Campus Planning

Campus facility design is a complex process that involves many sources of opinion and influence. Educational environments must enhance evolving pedagogies, support learning, administrative, and social functions, and accommodate ever-changing institutional needs. The systematic use of standardized evaluation tools for assessment of higher education facilities provides comprehensive insight into occupant experience from diverse, unique perspectives for informed and integrated planning decisions. In this session, we'll share practical strategies for conducting occupant evaluations across all types of facilities, as well as occupant outcome findings and the resulting planning decisions.

Learning Outcomes:

  1. Identify various user groups of campus facilities, their unique experiences and needs, and appropriate methods for engagement.
  2. Detail a strategic structure and plan for evaluating facilities based on user experience through a comprehensive and multi-method lens.
  3. Apply evaluation tools consistently across facilities to leverage data into insights through comparisons of both outcomes and designs.
  4. Integrate evaluation findings into higher education building projects for data-driven planning and decision-making.
