College & University Science Facilities 2011

This is the annual planning meeting for academic science and engineering teaching and research program administrators, capital project teams, finance and capital planners, facility and space planners, facility engineering managers, faculty, deans, and science department heads to benchmark their plans and programs, and build on the latest successes and innovations.

Attend this conference to benchmark your academic science and engineering facility plans against leading-edge models that are being built on four big ideas:

1) High space utilization,
2) Integration of science disciplines and interdisciplinary science space,
3) Modernization and expansion of outdated facilities, and
4) Efficient use of resources – budget, shared space, and technology.

Here you’ll find 33 conference sessions ALL focused on the new strategies for modernizing and expanding teaching and research programs at the lowest possible capital and operating costs based on:

• New space plans, metrics, and policies that maximize space utilization
• Financially sound renovation and re-use strategies
• Multi-use, multipurpose classroom/lecture/lab configuration
• Research laboratory plans that offer more flexibility and increase capacity
• New strategies to reduce energy consumption
• Aggressive shared use strategies for equipment and space
• High-level planning decisions that save capital dollars and lower operating costs
• New sustainability thinking integrated into capital planning
