Great spaces, amenity, perhaps a porch . . . But withzoning, preservation, and community responsibilities, plusreconstruction and maintenance costs, the idyllic scene oftenchanges. Some universities buy all the houses in their path—others consider divesting. One question they ask: “How do weknow if it’s worth it?” Two university planning directors and anarchitect who has adapted numerous university houses discussthe issues and provide a checklist to help others decide.Key Terms: Resources Planning, Facilities Planning,Preservation9:45 AM–10:45 AM CC-14 Dominion SouthMastering Inclusion in the Master PlanPresenters: David Buchanan, Salisbury University; Thomas McDCasey and Bruce A. Manger, CSD ArchitectsConvener: Alfredo Dimauro, Skidmore CollegeVirtually by definition, the master plan process affects all theconstituencies of a university. Administration, faculty, staff,students, trustees, neighbors, and elected officials have uniqueperspectives; their input, while sometimes in opposition, isimportant. While a small number of persons will make the finalplan decisions, the process should allow for meaningful participationby others. This presentation will demonstrate how allconstituencies can be heard while allowing for key decisions tobe made by the appropriate decision-makers.Key Terms: Facilities Planning, Master Planning, RelationshipBuilding9:45 AM–10:45 AM CC-15 Dominion NorthSystems Integration for Smart Decision MakingPresenters: Brian L. Bell, Comprehensive Facilities Planning Inc; JackProbasco, Comprehensive Facilities Planning Inc; Judith S. Steinkamp,University of MassachusettsConvener: John Gordon Storrs, Salt Lake Community CollegeYears of deferred maintenance, under-investment in the physicalinfrastructure, and ad-hoc space assignments left the Universityof Massachusetts Amherst with a deficit in appropriate facilitiesto meet its instruction and research goals. A database system wasneeded to inform decision making for new construction, renovation,space utilization, possible demolition, and “what-if” campusgrowth scenarios. A collaborative team developed the processtools, and integrated management system to determine existingand future space needs, helping the university set projectpriorities within the context of, and comparable with, theacademic goals, and priorities of the institution.Key Terms: Academic Planning, Facilities Planning, SpaceManagementlecture halls. Thus, knowledge is delivered on mass. As effectiveas this method is in getting the message from one source to many,research indicates that only five percent of knowledge is retainedfrom a lecture format and over eighty percent when the learnerapplies his/her knowledge. How can higher education balance thedelivery/retention factor?Key Terms: Academic Planning, Learning, Design9:45 AM–10:45 AM CC-96 Grand Ballroom CentreVendor PresentationPaying for the Educational Environment of theFuture: Finance vs. FundingPresenters: Anthony Bastardi, Caldwell College; G.

Starting in 2002, sevengreen buildings have been evaluated to assess whether they aretruly delivering the energy, water, and occupant comfort benefitswhich motivated their design. Occupant satisfaction has beeninvestigated using a survey developed by the Center for the BuiltEnvironment -University of California. Two university buildingswith numerous green features—including natural ventilation andrecycled building elements—will be featured.Key Terms: Facilities Planning, Sustainability, Accountability9:45 AM–10:45 AM CC-16 Grand Ballroom EastTwo Sides of the Efficiency Coin:Knowledge Delivery/Knowledge RetentionPresenter: Lennie Scott-Webber, Ryerson UniversityConvener: Evelyn Babey, RESCCUEfficiency, in terms of knowledge delivery, along with the impactof rising numbers of students, tends to equate to large scale14 SCUP–39 • July 17–21, 2004 • Sheraton Centre Toronto • Toronto, Ontario Canada
