What Difference Do New and Improved Spaces Make & To Whom?
Jeanne L. Narum, Director, Project Kaleidoscope (Presenter)
An annotated tour through a series of recently-completed spaces that are making a difference to:

1. the learning of students by accommodating new pedagogies and technologies, as well as advances in science;
2. the productivity of faculty by supporting their scholarly activity in classroom, teaching and research labs;
3. the campus community by spotlighting the centrality of science (STEM) in the 21st century undergraduate learning environment.

Perspectives on the Process: Who Needs to be at the Table & When
Kimberly Kostka, University of Wisconsin-Rock County (Moderator)
Project Shepherd: Thomas C. Greene, St. Lawrence University
Development Officer: Patricia Martin, Carleton College
Architect: William Odell, Hellmuth, Obata & Kassabaum
Arriving at new spaces for science that work for the community requires the commitment, expertise and passion of a large number of people, who bring concerns and dreams from their particular sphere of responsibility to the planning process. This introductory panel will lay out some of the responsibilities of players from different sectors of the planning group, as prelude to further discussions throughout the weekend.

Perspectives on the Future: The Infrastructure that Can Support 21st Century Science, Pedagogies and Technologies

Thinking beyond today is a critical responsibility for institutions now considering spaces for science that will serve their community for the next thirty years. A challenge is to continually press the edges and to anticipate the adaptability and flexibility of spaces that accommodate new generations of students, advances in science and technology; another challenge is to think about the future impact of spaces on institutional budgets, cultures, and community. This introductory panel again suggests some of the questions that need to be addressed, and that will be explored throughout the weekend.

Breakfast in Birds of a Feather Groups (Sign-up at Registration)
Same topics at both campuses.
On both Saturday and Sunday morning, there will be opportunity- in small, birds-of-a-feather sessions- for informal conversation with colleagues with similar responsibilities and/or questions, facilitated by assembly leaders. Participants are asked to sign-up for these breakfast sessions at registration.

• considering the roles and responsibilities of senior academic officers
• giving junior faculty responsible roles in shaping facilities for the future
• thinking through issues relating to sustainability
• engaging the entire campus community in planning spaces for science

Plenary III:
Spotlighting the Host Site Institutions

The University of Wisconsin-Fox Valley Story

The Lawrence University Story

Concurrent Sessions (Three Breakout Sessions per group)
Assembly planners have identified two general categories of issues that need to be addressed by communities shaping new spaces for science:
A: how to think through what happens inside the spaces
B: how to think through the requirements of an effective and efficient physical infrastructure.

Task forces of workshop leaders are designing a series of break-out sessions in which each category of issues is explored (A = morning at Lawrence University and afternoon at Fox Valley; B = morning at University of Wisconsin Fox Valley and afternoon at Lawrence University).

Concurrent Sessions A:
Thinking about the spaces from the perspective of what happens inside the spaces: large lecture spaces; research-rich spaces; hi-tech spaces; community spaces
(AM at Lawrence University & PM at the University of Wisconsin - Fox Valley)

Break-out sessions:

• Designing spaces that accommodate large enrollment introductory courses
  Michael R. Somin, Earl Walls Associates
  Nancy A. Wall, Lawrence University

• Designing spaces that serve the research-rich learning environment, for students and for faculty
  P. Michele Arduengo, Promega Corporation
  Michael C. Lauber, Ellenzweig Associates
  Jose Quintans, University of Chicago

• Designing spaces that accommodate the technologies that are transforming the learning environment

  Richard M. Heinz, Research Facilities Design

• Designing spaces that nurture and support community
  Thomas C. Greene, St. Lawrence University
  Kimberly Kostka, University of Wisconsin-Rock County

Concurrent Sessions B:
Thinking about the spaces from the perspective of the infrastructure (physical and intellectual): accommodating sophisticated equipment/technologies; dealing with post-occupancy issues
(AM at the University of Wisconsin-Fox Valley & PM at Lawrence University)

Break-out sessions:

• Building systems that reflect sustainability concerns
  Susan E. Lewis, Carroll College
  William Odell, Hellmuth, Obata & Kassabaum
