The SCUP Southern Regional Council welcomes you to the 2006 regional conference at the Georgia Tech
Hotel and Conference Center in downtown Atlanta. This year’s sessions and activities should provide
you with new perspectives and innovative approaches on a variety of topics to assist you in your planning
efforts. We are confident you will find something of interest and benefit that you can take back to your
institutions and firms.
This year’s theme, “Disaster Relief: How Do You Prepare for the Unknown” will explore not only
preparation for natural disasters, but also those gaping holes in campus security and information systems,
shifting structures and funding of higher education, droughts in capital project funding, overflow of
deferred maintenance issues, and the firestorm of opinion about higher education inadequacies and the
need for accountability, access, and affordability.
Atlanta is a city full of history, great entertainment, and exceptional higher education opportunities. It is
the home of the Georgia Tech, Spelman College, Emory University and over 20 others, all of which are
engaged in innovative planning, program, and facility development.
Please take the time during the conference to thank our conference sponsors for their generous support,
as we are most appreciative. If we can be of any assistance during the conference, please do not hesitate
to contact us, or any of the on-site SCUP staff members.
Enjoy the conference!

Optional Workshop—Preregistration Required
Prequel to Disaster—Emergency Preparedness Built
on Lessons from Katrina
Arthur J. Clement, Principal, Clement & Wynn Program Managers,
Inc.; Larry Deger, Vice President/Risk Management, EIIA
Just as the movie “Star Wars” introduced the notion of a “prequel”
to a group of stories, so must we introduce the prequel to
emergency situations Good planning must be the beginning of
the story for any disaster. Does your campus have a workable
emergency preparedness plan Do you have a campus emergency
manager In the height of the disaster do you really know who
will be the clearinghouse for communications Can hundreds
of students be quickly evacuated Do you have reliable back-up
emergency power What about insurance coverage and the claims
process
Participants will learn from a team of university, insurance,
planning, design, and management professionals offering first
hand experience regarding what happen to Dillard University
campus during the catastrophic event and how to approach the
pre-event planning process as well as post planning and physical
rebuilding processes. Topics include communications, facilities
management, insurance, finance, recovery, and other key
elements.

Opening Plenary Session
Disasters of all Shapes and Sizes: Strategies for
Preparation and Recovery
John Cavanaugh, President, University of West Florida
On September 16, 2004 Hurricane Ivan nearly devastated the
Pensacola, Florida area. The damage to the campus of the
University of West Florida was extensive. Even though the
institution took the appropriate precautions and had a recovery
plan in place the experience was no less than overwhelming.
Cavanaugh will share his experience with preparing the university
for the storm, recovery of the campus as well as the overall impact
on the strategic plan and process.
Since all campuses are at risk of disasters of any shape and size
related to budgets, academic programs, technology and security;
Cavanaugh will offer perspectives on the development of strategy
to anticipate and recover from disasters other than the one’s
caused by nature.

The Role of Campus Facilities in Regional Disaster
Response Activities
Christiane Groth, Risk Analyst, United Educators
When disaster strikes, university facilities, including arenas,
dining areas, and large meeting areas, are often sought out by
first responders to support disaster relief activities. Very few
universities, however, are prepared to meet the needs of victims
and first responders seeking access to campus facilities. Learn
how better partnerships with emergency management and first
response agencies, contracts, and personnel training can help your
campus be prepared for a regional disaster while also protecting
your facilities infrastructure.
Convener: John H. Russell, Angelo State University

Finding Opportunity in The Aftermath of Disaster:
Lessons Learned at Mississippi University for Women
Daniel R. Kenney, Principal & Director/Institutional Planning, Sasaki
Associates Inc.; Nora Miller, Vice President/Finance & Administration,
Mississippi University for Women; Philip Perlin, Associate Planner,
Sasaki Associates Inc.
Mississippi University for Women (MUW) was struck by a tornado
in November 2002. The tornado damaged 26 of the University’s 60
buildings, four beyond repair, and destroyed significant areas of
the campus landscape. FEMA assessed damages to the campus at
over $17 million. While the impact of the tornado was traumatic,
MUW was able to leverage the disaster to advance many of its
institutional and campus revitalization goals. This presentation
will focus on finding opportunity after disaster strikes with a case
study of MUW’s recent experience..

The Dollars and Sense of Managing Deferred
Maintenance
Katharine Mace Learned, President, Learned 1 LLC; Peter D. Zuraw,
Assistant Vice President/Management & Planning, Wellesley College
Impending disaster or viable risk management: how do you
define deferred maintenance In this session we will explore the
root causes of deferred maintenance and discuss the decisions
that lead to its accumulation or its eradication. We will explore
its impact on short-term planning to avert campus interruptions
caused by faulty buildings and systems, and long-range planning
to enhance the overall value of the facilities endowment. The true
costs (past, present, and future) of deferred maintenance will be
explored; their impact on campus planning and the viability of our
institutions will be discussed.
Convener: Lily Del C. Berrios, Sizemore Group

New Disaster Planning: From Katrina to Pandemic
Influenza
Karol V. Mason, Partner, Alston & Bird LLP; Lawrence Ponoroff, Dean,
Tulane University; Peter A. Reinhardt, Director, University of North
Carolina
Hurricane Katrina redefined disaster preparedness and
demonstrated to educational institutions the need for preparedness
and business continuity plans that adequately address three key
phases of a crisis: survival, recovery, and renewal. Learn from
officials at Tulane University and the University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill how incorporating the three phases not only creates
a process for preparing for the unknown, whether it’s hurricanes,
pandemic influenza, or bioterrorism, but also allows for improved
response and mitigates disruption to business continuity.

Deborah L. Ford, Vice President/Student Affairs, University of West
Florida
The University of West Florida sustained severe damage
(approximately $15 million) in Hurricane Ivan. This presentation
will describe the successes and failures of the continuity of
operations plan and how the campus was returned to operation in
three weeks. Special emphasis will be placed on the triage process
for setting recovery priorities on classrooms and residence halls,
successful creation of cross-divisional recovery teams, and steps
taken to handle financial implications of the damage and closure..

Surviving the Creation of an Advanced Instructional
Technology Classroom
Watson Harris, Director/Academic Technology Planning & Projects
ADA Campus Coordinator, Middle Tennessee State University
Designing classrooms for multiple instructional technologies
can be a survival challenge, especially if the technologies have
been recently introduced. This presentation discusses the new
advanced technologies classroom at Middle Tennessee State
University. Topics include the classroom configuration for
electronic collaboration, podcasting, and serious games, and the
use of multiple LCD projectors, Thunder, tablet PCs, iPods, and
Smartboards to support these instructional methods. A virtual
tour of the classroom features and a handout of the design
specifications will be provided.

Coastal Marine Laboratories Must Endure Nature’s
Forces
Keith Bailey, Principal, Science and Technology, Einhorn Yaffee Prescott
Coastal sites present unique design challenges against severe
storm damage for marine science laboratories. Ten case studies,
discussed by architect and university scientist, address site
planning, facility programming, building design, and construction
issues. Some issues of coastal-site factors that will be discussed
include; storm surge design and planning, types of weather
monitoring stations, coastline erosion, difficult geotechnical issues,
saltwater corrosion-resistant design, seawater life-support plans
and systems to sustain tank farms and aquaria rooms, and dock
facilities and boat storage facilities.

Riders of the Storms: Preparing, Waiting, and
Recovering
James B. Crosby, Director/Public Safety & Security, Spring Hill College;
Charmane P. May, Executive Vice President, Spring Hill College
The college had performed all the preparations it possibly could
for the impending hurricane. The Hurricane Committee had met
often in the days leading up the storm. The chapel windows were
boarded, everything that could fly was stowed away; additional
generators had been rented, cleanup crews had been scheduled;
a hurricane hotline had been activated; students that were leaving
were gone. Now the wait began. Hurricanes are the natural
disasters the Gulf coast residents must face on a yearly basis. Thus
it is imperative that colleges and universities who are entrusted
with the care of its residential students must not only prepare for
these storms, but also provide a safe haven during the storm and
execute an effective recovery plan afterwards. This session will
provide highlights of such a plan combined with case studies of
the recent hurricanes Ivan and Katrina—-examining all aspects of
preparing, waiting, and recovering as well as lessons learned.
Convener: Lee Richey, Draper & Associates
Noon–2:00 pm

International; Portia Shields, President, Albany State University; Victor
Ukpolo, Chancellor, Southern University at New Orleans
The plenary panel will be made up of from 3 - 5 college,
community college, and university presidents. Each participant
will have an opportunity to make a brief presentation about their
institution which will be followed by a discussion that will be
moderated by Sal Rinella, Strategic Consultant from STRATUS, a
Division of Heery International.
2:15 pm–3:15 pm
Conference C
Portable Bridge
Maqsood Ahmed, Adjunct Professor, State University of New York,
Buffalo
One of the common scenes immediately after a disaster is the
loss of bridges—loss of access to help the victims. Pictures in
the recent earth-quake disasters showing helicopters carrying
the wounded—piled one on top of the other—is an indication of a
shortage of aircraft dedicated for disaster relief work. The intent
of developing the lightweight transportable bridge is to provide
emergency access for relief workers and medical teams to recover
the wounded in a timely fashion and minimize the loss of lives..
Convener: Jennifer Amster, BJAC
2:15 pm–3:15 pm
Salon I
Continuity of Education: Preventing Future Failures
of Imagination
Kimberley Klein, Senior Associate, Booz Allen Hamilton; Bridger
McGaw, Associate, Booz Allen Hamilton
The September 11th attacks were called a “failure of
imagination” and the response to Hurricane Katrina labeled a
“failure of initiative.” Drawing upon proven alternative analysis
methodologies, called “Red Cells,” from within the homeland
security, defense, and intelligence community, participants will
learn how to capture new outside-the-box insights on current crisis
planning processes and leverage their university’s unique catalytic
assets to explore blind spots in emergency preparations while also
developing actionable insights to improve their crisis management.

Preparing and Delivering a Green Solution—Goizueta
Business School
Lily Del C. Berrios, Principal, Sizemore Group; Laura Case, Project
Manager, Emory University; Joanna Green, Director of Finance and
Administration, Goizueta Business School, Emory University
Emory University has embraced strategies that create a better
environment, conserve energy, and prepare for what may be
inevitable: a shortage of resources. The Goizueta Business School,
a 90,000 gross square foot addition to an existing facility serves as
a case study for both campus wide and building specific strategies
that promote sustainability. This session will present the benefits
and illustrate how green solutions help institutions be prepared to
conserve our environment and create a spirit of stewardship in the
users.

Preparing for and Managing After a Hurricane: A
University’s Perspective
Sylvia Berenguer, Director/ Academic Space, Florida International
University; Jose A. Rodriguez, Assistant Director, Florida International
University
Based on actual experience with back-to-back hurricanes during
the 2005 season at Florida International University, this session
will focus on lessons learned during these events. Though the
storms were only classified as Category 1 and 2, the frequency
created unique challenges. Presenters will retrace steps taken
by the university from physical preparation, documentation of
pre- and post-event conditions, documentation and management
of claims, personnel management issues, university’s role as a
shelter, formation of an Emergency Management Group and
the need to function as a comprehensive multidisciplinary
management team.

Susan Lipka, Executive Director/Capital Planning & Management,
The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center; Paul H.
Sanders, Senior Planner, Broaddus & Associates; Douglas P. Tomlinson,
Assistant Vice President, Facilities Engineering and Planning, Rice
University
In Houston, the most damage to colleges, universities, and
health-research facilities is caused by wind and stormwater
from thunderstorms, tropical disturbances, and hurricanes, like
Rita. While no two campuses are the same and their facilities
unique, the principles for an Emergency Management Plan
(EMP) are similar. All EMP’s must start with planning, continue
with preparation and implementation phases, and conclude with
recovery and resumption of the business plan. Learn why the
EMP’s at U.T. M.D. Anderson Cancer Center within the Texas
Medical Center and the adjacent Rice University work. How
prepared is your campus to handle an emergency

Planning for the Best—Green Strategies at Oxford
Lily Del C. Berrios, Principal, Sizemore Group; Myra Frady, Dean -
Resource Planning and Chief Financial Officer, Oxford College; John
Wegner, Faculty Lecturer, Emory University
Integrating ‘green’ elements into the planning process is becoming
a common topic. Taking the time to codify this process can
yield great results: identify solutions for short and long term
consideration, create a spirit of awareness through the campus
community, and bring together three key areas of planning: the
physical, fiscal, and programmatic. The presenters in this session
will discuss the elements, process and strategies considered when
a ‘sustainable land use framework’ is used as part of Oxford’s
planning process.

A Partnership for Public Health Research and
Community Development
Steve Clepper, Architect, Jacobs; Joel E. Putterman, Principal, Jacobs
A strong public health infrastructure is needed in Palm Beach
County to meet public health challenges in preventing and
containing existing, emerging, re-emerging and antibiotic-resistant
infectious diseases. Attendees will learn about the overall planning
process applied to this campus planning and community planning
effort, which was one of collaboration between state, local, town
and private interests. The involvement of surrounding area
residents gave great value and validity to the overall planning
and decision making process. What began as a somewhat hostile
environment of townspeople feeling they should have total control
of the land that the state had neglected over the years, ended in
a truly win-win for everyone in the creation of the Institute for
Public Health, being able to provide health services and education
and research space, with the potential for positive spin off of
incubator related clean industry for the town. A truly collaborative
decision making process was reinforced and illustrative of a
true shared authorship in the overall planning process and
development of the plan.

Recovering, Improving, and Growing: Lessons from
Georgia’s Campus Master Plans
Linda Eastley, Principal, Sasaki Associates Inc.; Richard F. Galehouse,
Principal, Sasaki Associates, Inc..; Alan S. Travis, Director/Planning,
University System of Georgia Office
In 1993, Albany State University was flooded by Hurricane
Andrew, prompting the need for a master plan identifying campus
expansion potential outside of its floodplain. This comprehensive
master plan highlighted a need for all 34 University System of
Georgia universities and colleges to undergo master-planning
initiatives addressing future growth and development. With
significant projected population growth in Georgia, this overall
master-planning process ensures and maintains safety, quality,
and stability on all USG campuses and assesses more than just
expanding demographics. This session reflects on the University
System of Georgia’s methodology for preventing crises due to
unprepared-for growth and expansion and outlines endeavors
meant to avoid flood-prone and environmentally contaminated
land.

Would your institution be adequately prepared to respond to an
emergency like the disastrous hurricanes of 2005 How would
you continue providing services Was your disaster preparation
plan shaped by information from a hazard risk assessment and
insurance risk assessment of your institution Even the most
thorough emergency plans are constantly refined—shaped by
new observations, growing reliance on technology, and a greater
interdependence between the institution and the surrounding
community. Presenters will discuss their observations of the
devastation, the impact on the campus from the community after
the disaster, the rebuilding of their campuses, and the lessons and
recommendations they have for your institution.

Dealing With the Unknown Through Flexibility in
Planning
Mark G. Byrd, Senior Project Architect, ISES Corporation; Roger
Reich, Associate Vice President, ISES Corporation; Michael R.
Renfrow, Assistant Vice President/Campus Planning & Facilities,
University of West Georgia
The answer to “How do you prepare for the unknown” could
possibly be answered with one word—flexibility. You will never be
able to address the unknown. However, you can develop a solid,
practical plan that allows adjustments under extreme conditions.
Recovery from an event, be it manmade or natural, is a bigger
animal then you may think. Execution of recovery operations
depends extensively on a reliable, practical, and practiced plan.
The key to any viable plan is “flexibility”. This presentation will
develop avenues for success, internally and externally, through
resources and coordination to assure a successful recovery in the
most expedient timeframes with the best available plan.

The Disaster-Resistant University: Planning for
Survivability
Robert J. Emery, Assistant Vice President/Safety, University of Texas
Health Science Center at Houston; Gerard B. Marchand, Manager/
Facilities & Planning, University of Texas Health Science Center at
Houston; Rives Taylor, Sustainable Task Force Leader, Gensler
In June 2001, tropical storm Allison deluged Houston, Texas
with 38 inches of rain, causing $5 billion in damage—the most
expensive US flood-related incident prior to Hurricane Katrina.
This session tracks the three-year recovery of the flooded
University of Texas Health Science Center and how it redesigned
itself for better emergency preparedness. This session also
examines the concept of incorporating passive survivability into
campus facilities with sustainable design features. It also takes
a futuristic view of the potential impact of devastating climate
changes due to global warming.

Closing Lunch and Plenary Session
Emergency Operations Planning in the University
System of Georgia
Mark Demyanek, Director/Administration & Compliance Policy,
Board of Regents University System of Georgia
The University System of Georgia is the third largest state
university system in the country. With 35 institutions ranging
in size and complexity from major research universities to two
year access colleges, emergency operations planning cannot
be approached using a “one size fits all” strategy. However, it is
critical that the system provide leadership in defining priorities
and establishing processes, to ensure that every institution is
prepared to respond effectively to emergency events and recover
from there impact. This presentation will provide an overview
of the University System of Georgia’s approach to emergency
operations planning.
