From the beginning of PKAL in 1989, we recognized the critical relationship between quality programs and quality spaces. We also recognized that careful and creative planning was needed to achieve both, thus the range and intensity of activities from workshops to publications– all directed toward encouraging and informing such careful and creative facilities planning within undergraduate science, mathematics and engineering (SME) communities.

About the 2001 Summer Institute

Project Kaleidoscope (PKAL) is hosting an annual series of Summer Institutes. To be held during the last two weeks of July, this Institute will be attended by an anticipated 1000 persons with a commitment to making certain that SME research, learning, and teaching at the undergraduate level is of the highest quality. Colleges and universities of all types from across the country will be represented.

Exhibit Registration and Poster Information

Each participating firm may register to exhibit up to two posters, which will be displayed throughout the two week institute for a fee of $750. Interested firms must submit the Exhibit Registration form by the deadline of June 1, 2001. Payment must accompany exhibit registration (see form for details).

Project Categories

Posters may be submitted that represent either a project or a topic, according to the four themes given below. These themes parallel those that will be addressed in the Institute series and workshops. Items listed beneath each of the four themes are examples of ways that spaces address that theme.

Spaces and Structures that Accommodate Technologies
(in programs that serve all students, including majors)

	For discovery-based learning in classes large and small (physical/virtual)
	For discovery-based learning in lecture-less labs
	For research/independent work by students and faculty
	For building a community of learners (formal/informal study spaces and gathering spaces).

Spaces and Structures that Support the Institutional Mission and Strategic Plan

	In the siting of the new/renovated facility
	In giving consideration to sustainability
	In giving consideration to cost-effectiveness over the long-term
	In making science more visible on the campus
	In supporting an agenda to integrate research and education
	In providing spaces for campus events
	In building connections within and beyond the campus.

Spaces and Structures that Address the Goal of Science for All Students

	In attracting students into the spaces 24/7
	In serving large classes for non-majors
	In providing easy access to faculty, teaching assistants, peers
	In housing the campus computer center and/or science library.

Spaces and Structures that Serve Programs for Majors

	In providing easy access to sophisticated technologies
