The seemingly paradoxical objectives were metin plan through ambitious redevelopment proposals. But were they metin practice? One year later, has the plan survived challenges of fiscalconstraints, design changes, community concerns, and institutionalpractices? This session will explore the collaborative post-planningimplementation strategies that have kept the initial vision alive despite the odds.Learning Outcomes:1. Discover how to anticipate the challenges of realizing a comprehensivecampus plan and how to navigate the complex process of implementation.2. Discover how to maintain strategic, long-range planning goals in the face ofshort-term budget and design constraints.3. Build collaborative efforts with a wide cross-section of the universitycommunity to ensure consensus around key ideas and foster change inlongstanding practices.AIA Credits Possible: 1 LUCPE Credits Possible: 1; Field of Study: Social Environment of Business10:00 am–11:00 am B113Student Housing Markets: Analysis Precedes DesignIra Fink, President, Ira Fink and Associates, Inc.Convener: John Martin, Principal, Elkus Manfredi ArchitectsAll campuses require insight into the rapidly changing market conditionsfor student housing and the needs of students who seek a place to live.Measuring housing demand before campuses decide to build or renovatenecessitates comprehensive student housing market analyses. This sessiondemonstrates how such an analysis can integrate information on changesin student demographics, economics, and attitudes. By distilling the bestmethods from successful studies conducted at 40 universities, this sessionguides campuses in planning and forecasting their student housing future.Learning Outcomes:1. Identify the many separate and identifiable student housing sub-markets thatexist on your campus.2. Discuss how meeting the needs of each housing sub-market is necessary tomaintain an effective and economically viable housing program and learningenvironment.3. Conduct basic market analysis to inform renovation of existing housing orbuilding of new facilities.AIA Credits Possible: 1 LUCPE Credits Possible: 1; Field of Study: Marketing10:00 am–11:00 am C120–C122Sustaining Small Colleges:Using Models in an Integrated Planning ProcessSue S. Gaylor, Vice President, Planning, Lycoming CollegeConvener: William Dann, Principal, THA ArchitectureSmall private colleges are particularly susceptible to their external forcesdue to their dependence on tuition revenue and their modest endowments.Many small, private colleges are already facing operating deficits thatrequire increased endowment spending or additional debt to balancethe budget. This presentation will provide an example of an integratedplanning approach that relies on budget, enrollment, and residentialmodels to assist small colleges in anticipating problems and makingproactive planning decisions rather than reacting to external factors.Learning Outcomes:1. Discover a successful planning approach that can be applied to other institutions.2. Discuss how budget and planning tools can be incorporated into aninstitution’s decision-making process.3. Assess planning tools that can help institutions make difficult decisions priorto a crisis, so that planning is proactive rather than reactive.AIA Credits Possible: 1 LUCPE Credits Possible: 1; Field of Study: Management Advisory Services11:15 am–Noon B113How to Submit a Session Proposal for SCUP–45Led by SCUP’s Planning Academy Conveners, who lead the reviewprocess for the annual, international conference.11:15 am–Noon A107–A109Meet the SCUP Executive Committee11:15 am–NoonSCUP RoundtablesRoom Assignments:• Community College: A105 • General / Wild Card: C124• Masters Comprehensive: C120–C122 • Research: B110–B112 & B117–B119• Small Liberal Arts: A106The funding and budget realities facing institutions are not goingaway anytime soon. How are others managing in these times of fallingendowments, drastic reductions in public support, and increased need forfinancial aid? Join a roundtable of institutions similar to yours and sharethe strategies that your campus is considering. Each table/room will havea recorder and the results of the discussions will be summarized at the endof the conference in a later publication.11:30 am–1:00 pm Idea MarketplaceLunchConcurrent Sessions1:15 pm–2:15 pm B116Cloud Computing: Will It Rain or Shine on Campus IT?Colin Currie, Director, Administrative Information Services, Princeton UniversityConvener: Leslie Ashor, Research Facilities Design Inc.In the next several years, most institutions will begin replacing core ITsystems and functions with outside services. “Cloud computing” is thenew buzzword that describes this trend. A number of schools have begunby shifting support for e-mail to outside vendors. Far more—includingcore administrative systems—is on the way. This presentation will bebased on the article “Painting the Clouds,” part of a cover story series inthe November/December issue of Educause Review, which describes thisphenomena and the impact it will have on higher education computing.Learning Outcomes:1. Assess the benefits of cloud computing, outsourcing, and software-as-a-service (SaaS).2. Predict how these trends will impact campus computing.3. Consider the importance of institution-wide project governance in order tobenefit most from this new approach to computing.AIA Credits Possible: 1 LUCPE Credits Possible: 1; Field of Study: Computer Sciencemondaywww.SCUP.ORG/ANNUALCONf/44 13
