Arriving at spaces that make a difference

One of the most powerful stimuli for leaders to take a kaleidoscopic perspective on curricular and pedagogical change is planning and then completing the construction of new spaces and structures for undergraduate STEM communities.

Designing Spaces that Serve the Research-Rich Learning Environment

Research-Rich Facilities Designing Spaces that Serve Research-Rich

Flexibility, Versatility, and Adaptability

Constructing science buildings is expensive, typically representing the highest cost per square foot on campus. Determining the optimal design for a new undergraduate science building is paramount because the opportunity occurs only once every 50 to 100 years on today’s smaller college campuses. The resulting building must support today’s needs and adapt to tomorrow’s advances in technology, the latest in pedagogical theory, and potential changes in use.

How Improved Facilities Make a Difference

One of the most powerful stimuli for leaders to take a kaleidoscopic perspective on curricular and pedagogical change is planning and then completing the construction of new spaces and structures for undergraduate STEM communities. Faculty and administrators must determine if and how their physical facilities can support the research-rich, technology-intensive environments that lead to robust learning by undergraduate students.
