Meeting the State's Future Needs through a Competitive Higher Education Facility and Technology Infrastructure.
http://www.eric.ed.gov/contentdelivery (Ohio Board of Regents, Columbus , Mar 2009)
Focuses on facilities and technology aspects of where Ohio stands in providing higher education services. Five questions form the core of report. These are: 1) Are Ohio's higher education facilities adequate to address the needs of and attract students for the 21st century? 2) What is the condition of facilities, and are adequate investments being made to protect the state's assets and benefit students? 3) Can recent trends in funding higher education capital projects, including institutional debt, continue? 4) Do current rules, regulations and practices inhibit the cost effectiveness of facilities construction? and 5) How is technology being used to serve current and prospective students? The report concludes that Ohio's substantial facility and technological assets must be utilized to a greater extent and in different ways than in the past. Trustee stewardship of facility assets are applauded, but larger investments are needed to address deferred maintenance, technology upgrades, building retrofits, and new facilities needed to accommodate program expansions for science, technology, engineering, math and health professions. State regulations, particularly in construction, can be modified in ways that result in high quality facilities at a lower cost. 32p.

Building Florida's Future: Quality and Access or Business as Usual?
http://www.flbog.org/documents_meetings/0028_0080_0572_10.pdf (Florida Board of Governors, Tallahassee , Nov 15, 2006)
Reports that a quarter of the state university system's current classroom, lab, office and study space was built in a single decade, from 1967 to 1976, as the state invested heavily in the educational infrastructure needed to serve its growing population. Since then, however, construction and renovation have fallen behind the pace of growth, even as the state made commitments through initiatives to encourage students to attend college. The paper then details four recommendations that would make it possible to move forward with major new statewide facilities initiatives. They are: 1) Raise standards for classroom and instructional laboratory use to be among the highest of any public system in the nation. 2)The Board of Governors should work with other public and private-sector leaders to develop an aggressive, strategic construction plan for the State University System. 3) The state should dedicate one or more funding sources specifically to maintenance and renovation of existing facilities. 4)The system should ensure that construction and renovation projects employ the most cost-effective, cutting-edge technologies to save energy and mitigate environmental impacts. 28p.

Design Principles: Creating a More Effective Teaching Facility.
http://papers.asee.org/conferences/paper-view.cfm?id=22157 Davis, Daniel (American Society for Engineering Education, Washington, DC , 2005)
Laments that university professors often must teach "around" the architecture, which impede the teaching and learning experience. The author proposes that the school facility must be conceived as a teaching and learning instrument in its own right, and at many American universities, the physical setting is unsuccessful, typically following the passive "egg crate" closed classroom format. Also described are three other closely related principles that also shape many aspects of school facility design: Every aspect of a school facility should be program-driven, the facility should be an expression of the values and goals of the university program that uses it, and the facility should strive to be flexible enough to accommodate the educational changes that will certainly occur in the future. 8p.

Design Features Of the Physical Learning Environment For Collaborative, Project-Based Learning at The Community College Level
http://136.165.122.102/UserFiles/File/pubs/Design_Features-Wolff.pdf Wolff, Susan (National Dissemination Center for Career and Technical Education The Ohio State University, May 2003)
The purpose of the study was to (a) determine the design features of the physical learning environment that support collaborative, project-based learning, and (b) to gain an understanding of the rationale for the selection of the features. The literature review indicated a need for changing learning expectations to prepare learners for rapidly changing roles and responsibilities for the 21st century. Collaborative, project-based learning was identified as a pedagogy that prepares learners for these new learning expectations. Data were collected in three phases using a phenomenological approach. Collection methods included site visits, observations, reflection, text, interviews, and designs. Architects and educators participated in the study. Thirty-two design features were identified and placed into six categories. Upon further reflection and analysis, it appears the essence of the findings is the interrelationship among spaces and people. [Author's abstract]

http://www.eric.ed.gov/contentdelivery Wolff, Susan J. (Oregon State University, Corvallis , Sep 07, 2001)
The purpose of this study was to determine the design features of the physical learning environment that support and enhance collaborative, project-based learning at the community college level, and to gain an understanding of the rationale for selection of the features. The characteristics of the physical environment investigated in the study were scale, location, functionality, relationships, and patterns. Aspects of the rationale or purpose for the selected features included: (1) important factors for consideration; (2) sequence of consideration among the factors; (3) relationship among the factors; (4) derivation of the factors; (5) design process considerations; and (6) theories used to make the recommendation. Data were collected in three phases using a phenomenological approach to gain an understanding of the two foci areas of the study. Methods for collecting data included site visits, observations, text, interviews, and designs. Participants included architects, educators, and learners. The findings included the initial identification of 44 design features of the physical learning environment that support and enhance collaborative, project-based learning at the community college level and the determination of the rationale for the selection of the features. Analysis and synthesis of the features resulted in 32 design features that were placed in the following 6 categories: learning group size, functional spaces for learning activities, adjacencies, furnishings, psychological and physiological support of learners, and structural aspects. The study concluded that the essence of designing physical environments that support and encourage collaborative, project-based learning is the interrelationship among the categories and features within the categories.

University Builders.
Pearce, Martin (Wiley-Academy, Chichester, West Sussex, UK , 2001)
Ranging from the design of vast new campuses, such as that by Wilford and Stirling at Temasek, Singapore, through to the relatively modest yet strategically important, such as the intervention by Allies and Morrison at Southampton, this publication examines the new higher educational buildings that are at the forefront of architecture today. Organized around campus plans, specialist teaching and research buildings, and constructions that act as a focus to academic life, the case studies are drawn from around the world. In several cases different university buildings from the same architect are included to illustrate either the consistency or diversity of the approach the practice brings to specific design problems. Glossy photos and project information are included. 224p.

Educating by Design: Creating Campus Learning Environments that Work.
Strange, C. Carney; Banning, James H. (Josey-Bass Inc., San Francisco, CA , 2001)
This book is organized into two parts. Part One, "Type and Impacts of Campus Environments," offers an overview of models and concepts of human environments, focusing on their manifestations in the college and university setting and their implications for the design of education facilities, systems, and practices. It provides a broad foundation for understanding and assessing the key components of any human environment- physical dimensions, people, organizational structures, and collective social con structions, as well as environments created more specifically in the service of higher education. Part Two, "Creating Environments that Foster Educational Success," focuses on the conditions thought to be important for the design of effective educational nvironments. This section proposes that educational environments are most powerful when they offer students three fundamental conditions: a sense of security and inclusion, mechanisms for involvement, and an experience of community.

Social Ecology and Environmental Psychology as Applied to the Design and Renovation of American University Campuses.
http://www.eric.ed.gov/contentdelivery Krumwiede, Robert William (University of Minnesota, Minneapolis MN , Nov 1999)
This paper focuses on making specific connections between basic social and psychological needs of campus residents and the principles of architectural design that can be applied to the design and renovation of educational facilities. Various research was used to select six "principles of social ecology" that were cross-referenced with five design elements from Christopher Alexander's " A Pattern Language." The social ecology principles and the architectural design elements formed two axes of a matrix, and analysis of research data produced design criteria for each cell in this matrix. The matrix defines why some features are important in campus design and how these features can best be applied. (Contains 216 references.) 157p.

Colleges and Universities as Historic Institutions: a Study of the Historical Context of Campus Architecture: Founders Hall, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, Virginia.
http://www.eric.ed.gov/contentdelivery Shultz, James A. 1995
A study of Founders Hall at the Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) explores the history of that building and its symbolic role for the campus and the institution. The building was originally a residence built in the late 19th century and was later the location of the Richmond School of Social Work and Public Policy and of the Richmond Professional Institute. Founders Hall was designed in a French Second Empire architectural style and is in good condition for its age. An addition to the rear was not integrated in style or materials with the original building. The building is currently used for student contact services. A major interior renovation took place in the 1980s. Institutional materials on which much of the study was based had the limitation of "official sanction" which may have tended to cast the best historical light on events. Other institutional studies focused narrowly on repair and renovation or space analysis. Founders Hall appears to support VCU's image of itself as a venerable, prestigious institution and, in a city concerned with its historical appearance, as a preserver of historic buildings. (Contains 15 references.) 30p.

The Decaying American Campus: A Ticking Time Bomb
Rush, Sean C.; Johnson, Sandra L. (APPA, Association of Higher Education Facilities Officers, Alexandria, VA , 1989)
This study investigated the capital renewal and deferred maintenance
needs of colleges and universities in the United States. An introductory
chapter gives an overview of campus change and facilities planning since
1950, including the rapid and extensive growth of college and university
facilities and the convergence of various factors that have placed stress
on institutional operating budgets. This chapter also outlines the
methodology of the study survey of almost 700 diverse institutions. The
second chapter summarizes findings concerning facility conditions:
Since 1950 college and university facility space has more than
quintupled, and institutions would have to invest about $300 billion today
to construct the same space; current capital renewal and replacement
needs are estimated at $60 billion, with priority repairs and renovations
requiring about $20.5 billion; in 1988 colleges and universities deferred
four dollars of maintenance for every dollar spent, with classroom,
laboratory, and library space cited most frequently as priorities; most
institutions rely primarily on tax-exempt bonds and state funding to
finance capital needs. The third chapter draws conclusions and
implications, and the fourth presents profiles of needs, plans, and
funding by institution type. Chapter 5 contains technical notes. A list of
suggested readings is offered in chapter 6. A glossary of terms is
included in chapter 7. (Contains 100 references.) 219p.

http://archone.tamu.edu/CRS/engine/archive_files/EFL/6000.0305.pdf Dober, Richard P. (Educational Facilities Laboratories, New York, NY , 1965)
Discusses six British universities designed to help solve the dilemma of “belonging” at large institutions. The continuous teaching environment concept describes a physical form that preserves communication and contact between all parts of the institution while allowing external accretion and internal change. Its essential features are geared to: 1) conformity with educational philosophy of maximum interdisciplinary contact; 2) integration of living and working areas; 3) separation of vehicular and pedestrian ways; 4) largely self-sufficient urban community; 5) optimum contrast between development and surrounding site; 6) a 24-hour university; and 7) opportunity of limitless expansion. Photographs and diagrams illustrate this concept in the case of each of the six institutions.

A "Globalized" Studio Environment: Configuring Reflexive Spatial Agendas.
Jenson, Michael Open House International; v34 n1 , p111-122 ; Mar 2009
Proposes that though the forces of globalization have radically changed our conception and use of space, its material manifestation is as important now more then ever to those training to be architects and designers. However, the old lecture hall and studio configuration must make way for a new type of reflexive space that allows disciplinary boundaries to become blurred and more flexible. If this occurs, universities might again become bastions of critical thought illustrating possible types of alternative spaces and temporalities within our personal and communal lives. By cultivating spaces built on the imperatives of diversity and simultaneity, the monistic onslaught of the global network culture could be translated into a multitude of spaces and temporalities that add richness to the necessary social, political, and cultural aspects of our lives.

Socio-cultural Sustainability of Future Learning Environments: the Case of the New Kuwait University Campus.
Mahgoub, Yasser Open House International; v34 n1 , p68-74 ; Mar 2009
Investigates the impact of social and cultural requirements on the sustainability of future learning environmentz. The case of New Kuwait University City in Shedadiyah is used to illustrate how current social and cultural requirements impact the design of a future university campus and inhibit the production of a sustainable environment. Among several socio-cultural factors, the paper focuses on two significant aspects that have dramatically affected the development of the master plan for the New University City; namely separation of students sexes and car parking requirements. The first requirement was mandated by a parliament decree to build two separate campuses; one for male students and the other for female students. The implementation of this requirement resulted in the duplication of many educational facilities and immensely increased space and budget requirements. The second requirement reflected dependency on automobiles as primary means of transportation in Kuwait. It resulted in a necessity to allocate large areas of land for vehicular traffic and car parking. These two requirements created a great challenge towards achieving the required level of sustainability. The paper concludes that while recognizing that accommodating clients social and cultural requirements is necessary for the application of a comprehensive sustainability strategy, these requirements might work against achieving required levels of other aspects of sustainability.

Exploring Outdoor Education and Research in Architecture.
Rodriguez, Pedro; Boehme, Luis Open House International; v34 n1 , p94-103 ; Mar 2009
Examines a few exemplary cases from an ongoing series of trials, started in 1999 by the Department of Architecture at the Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria, to assess the effective integration of outdoor learning environments with local studio-based learning culture. Architectural design pedagogy persistently looks outside the classroom for real-world problems to deal with, and exemplary solutions to learn from. Studio-based learning alternately takes place between indoor and outdoor environments as well as built and natural environments. The use of outdoor workspaces where students may generate and test their design proposals strengthens the case for a better understanding of human habitability and environmental sustainability. Nonetheless, outdoor activities are traditionally confined to on-site information gathering, whereas design and evaluation processes are carried out indoors simply as a desk-bound activity. In these cases, the empirical evidence to back up the problem modeling and the design decisions made inside the studio classroom is missing. In mainstream architecture education, indoor and outdoor learning experiences are operationally dissociated. The intent to create real outdoor studio classrooms not only opens a new research field in learning space design, but new challenges to the studio-based learning culture.

The Future Setting of the Design Studio.
Senyapili, Burcu; Karakaya, Ahmet Open House International; v34 n1 , p104-112 ; Mar 2009
Explores the impact of virtual classrooms as an emerging classroom typology in comparison to the physical classrooms in the design process. Two case studies were held in order to infer design students classroom preferences in the project lifecycle. Although the students acknowledged many advantages of web-based communication in the virtual classroom, they indicated that they are unwilling to let go off face-to-face encounters with the instructors and fellow students in the physical classroom. Utilizing the positive aspects of both communication techniques, a hybrid setting for the design studio is introduced, comprising the physical classroom as well as the virtual one. The proposed use for the hybrid setting is grouped under 3 phases according to the stage of the design process; as the initial, development and final phases.

Does Place Really Matter to Students with Learning Disabilities? A Study of Three University Campuses.
Whitmer, Susan Open House International; v34 n1 , p75-81 ; Mar 2009
Examines the role of "place" as a component of academic success for those students with learning disabilities (LD). Methodology included both literature review and the development of a case study analysis of three post-secondary institutions in the United States. The conclusion of the research reveals three specific components of the physical environment that hold an increased value for a student with LD. These are wayfinding, formal learning spaces, and disability services spaces. The key to integrating a sense of place with the needs of students with LD is moving beyond meeting the minimum standards of the legal mandates and bridging the principles of universal design to the built environment.

What the Building Boom Says about Campus Values.
Bonfiglio, Robert A. About Campus; v9 n5 , p27-29 ; Nov-Dec 2004
Some construction projects that colleges and universities have recently undertaken--residence halls, dining halls, student centers, athletic and recreation centers--have attracted significant criticism. Critics have taken issue with the proliferation and design of buildings intended to structure the use of students' free time and attract prospective students, citing them as examples of the heightening pressure to market institutions and of the coddling of the current generation of college students. In this article, the author argues how these buildings are being erected not to entice and spoil students but because they have positive effect on student involvement and learning and often contribute to the development of a sense of community on campus.

Designing More Effective On-Campus Teaching and Learning Spaces: A Role for Academic Developers
Jamieson, Peter International Journal for Academic Development ; v8 n1-2 , p119 - 133 ; Nov 2003
Teaching and learning on campus takes place within specific physical settings that are integral to the process. The traditional, teacher-centred and didactic instruction of universities has been embedded in the constructed environment of the campus, particularly the lecture theatres and other formal classrooms. However, these same facilities now threaten to impede the implementation of more student-centred and flexible learning approaches being introduced in higher education worldwide. Recent attempts to create new teaching and learning facilities on university campuses have often resulted in celebrated architecture that has proved to be educationally problematic. What types of physical settings are required to support the teaching and learning processes emerging in higher education? This paper argues that academic developers have a key role to play in assisting universities to engage effectively in the design and development of more effective teaching and learning facilities.

A Hybrid Campus for the New Millennium
Bleed, Ron Educause Review ; v36 n1 , 16-24 ; Jan-Feb 2001
The role of technology, architecture, and people in restoring socialization to the campus experience for college and university students is discussed. The campus of the future should be based on a hybrid model that is 50 percent virtual instruction and 50 percent redesigned physical campus space. Such a model would facilitate improved learning, the design of new campus structures, and the socialization that supports the making of meaning for students. It would reduce an institution's cost for buildings and facilities by 50 percent and would offer students savings in terms of time and commuting. costs. Most importantly, combining virtual learning with new kinds of physical spaces
would restore the human touch in the educational process.
Evaluation of the Physical Classroom by Students and Professors: a Lens Model Approach
Douglas, Darren and Gifford, Robert Educational Research; v43 n3 , p295 - 309 ; Winter 2001
A method for linking classroom evaluations to specific physical properties and for comparing the evaluations of different groups is described and illustrated. Thirty-five college classrooms were photographed and shown to 20 professors and 51 undergraduate students, each of whom evaluated the friendliness of and their overall preference for all the classrooms. Seven physical properties of the classrooms were reliably assessed by independent observers. Using a modified Brunswik lens model, the relations between the physical properties and the evaluations by the two groups were established and compared. Between 40 and 57 per cent of the variance in the evaluations could be explained from only three classroom properties: view to outdoors, seating comfort and seating arrangement. Evaluations by the students and professors were surprisingly similar, an encouraging sign for classroom designers. [Authors abstract]
