Attend this conference to benchmark your institution's plans, features, and metrics for renovations and new construction against what leading peer institutions are putting in place to grow their science and engineering programs; boost recruitment; support the new science pedagogies and space requirements; create collaborative, interactive, and entrepreneurial environments and cultures; and get more program with limited capital dollars and lower operating costs.
Here you’ll get the details on the latest facility concepts, planning models, and capital project strategies for:
Renovation, reuse, and repurposing of outdated facilities for modern STEM programs
New classroom configurations: Active learning, experiential learning, and research project-based education
Emerging laboratory designs and features
Convergence of academic space, programs, and people
Increased university–industry partnerships
Space allocation, metrics, and layouts for labs, offices, cores, and support space
Maker space for product design, prototyping, and display
Innovation hubs
Flexible and adaptable facilities for shared use and changing programs
Shared space for research project and program collaboration
Student-faculty interaction and undergraduate research space
New open scientific workspace plans
Effective social and informal learning space
Transparency and visual connections among students and programs
Integrated science and engineering teaching and research space
Scientific lab furniture and casework
Building automation and newly emerging facility technology
Energy reduction, water conservation, and sustainability strategies
High-efficiency, low-cost mechanical systems
Environmental controls and sensors: Occupancy, EMI, vibration, air quality, temp, humidity
Make this a key planning event to get your project stakeholders (capital project people, facility planners, facility engineers, consulting architects and engineers, science and engineering program chairs, deans, and faculty members, financial officers, and operations managers) on the same planning page with respect to the details, numbers, processes, and expectations. Consulting architects and engineers must register with their clients.
