Campus Tour | University of Hawaii at Manoa
This tour will showcase the University of Hawaii’s flagship campus and the unique challenges the university faces with regard to long-term planning, campus redevelopment, and designing in a tropical environment.Planning for Higher Education Journal
Designing for STEM
Community colleges are developing sophisticated simulation laboratories, makerspaces, and innovation centers to prepare students to successfully enter the STEM workforce and meet the needs of high-tech employers.Report
Developing Research Methods for Analyzing Learning Spaces That Can Inform Institutional Missions of Learning and Engagement
This research report explores the value of applying social science approaches to learning space design, toward understanding how students’s perceptions of campus space affect their learning experience.Conference Presentations
Ensuring Research Resilience Through Programmatic and Facilities Alignment
Conference Presentations
From Stymied to STEM Lab
We will share lessons learned from Purdue University's college master plan and STEM building that you can use to clarify thinking, focus need, build a case for a new project, and set the stage for future growth.Conference Presentations
Iconic Design Problem Solving and Entrepreneurship Create Collaborative Incubator Spaces
We will reveal our methodology for how institutions can generate new economies, define an innovation campus identity, and utilize brownfields.Example Plans
JHU Return to Research Guidance
This document represents recommended guidelines for a gradual, phased reactivation of research activities at the university.Planning for Higher Education Journal
Out of the Shadows
To prepare students for 21st-century careers, recent capital investments are placing science and technology at the center of campus, with new facilities designed as both social and learning spaces.Planning for Higher Education Journal
Phased Transformations of Academic Buildings
When you’re renovating a campus building, you’re contending with dust, noise, vibration, the risk of budget overruns, relocating occupants, extended timelines, and more. Following best practices of experienced planners can help you to mitigate the most common challenges.Conference Presentations
Programming and Designing Science Labs in a P3 Delivery model
This session will focus on how University of California Merced defined an academic and research science program for an unknown group of scientists to allow for a selection process, the resultant design dilemma faced by the architects, and how the team took on the challenge of modifying the generic laboratories.Webinar Recordings
REWORK
The COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented challenges for laboratory environments. Labs were shut down in a matter of days to follow the “stay-at-home” order. As we look forward to the reopening of labs post-COVID-19, this webinar will provide some considerations that will guide the creation of a safe and healthy lab environment as well as discussions on real challenges from universities’ perspectives.Planning for Higher Education Journal
Scaling Active Learning Classrooms
A large-scale study uncovered factors that led to successful scaling of active learning spaces and pedagogical approaches in colleges and universities.Report
Smart Building, Smart Campus
This is a SCUP Fellow Research Project Final Report for the 2019–2020 program. This report explores the hypothesis that user-centered design would better address STEM student needs and could increase the likelihood of a broader adoption of remote labs.Conference Presentations
The Innovation Campus
We will share how Northeastern University developed the Innovation Campus at Burlington, Massachusetts (ICBM) using alternative financing strategies, private partnerships, creatively re-purposed existing facilities.Conference Recordings
Using Metrics to Maximize the UW-Platteville Engineering Facility
We’ll discuss how we leveraged metrics and space utilization studies to achieve a unifying one-building solution for all engineering programs at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville rather than the original master plan vision for three buildings.
