What Students Want: Lessons and Outcomes From a Student Center ‘In Use’

Delivered July 23, 2024
Presented by Alexandra Boissonneault, Associate | Jamie King, Managing Director| Daniel Ling, Director and Principal

Students have long valued a holistic post-secondary experience. It is important to look beyond capacity building and invest in spaces that create an engaging campus culture. This session will look critically at contemporary trends in student center planning, programming, and design as well as their outcomes, both intended and in use, drawing on findings from a recent post-occupancy evaluation of a new student life center. We'll provide you with the opportunity to reflect analytically on programming and design assumptions in the context of actual in-use building outcomes, and offer successful examples of student engagement and feedback mechanisms.

Learning Outcomes:

  1. Identify and introduce new opportunities for student engagement pre- and post-development of campus spaces.
  2. Identify and describe the characteristics of viable, effective multi-functional campus buildings.
  3. Evaluate evidence on spontaneous and unplanned uses in the design of multi-purpose spaces.
  4. Apply a hybrid learning lens to long-term master planning processes.
