Campus 2030: Harnessing the Power of Campus Space to Advance Strategic Goals

Given the pace of change, technological innovations, new operational realities, and shifting stakeholder expectations, university physical space must rapidly evolve. However, senior leadership teams still struggle with space being viewed as solely a cost center, a sign of prestige, or a precious commodity on campus.

In this session, EAB walked through the innovative ways institutions are using space to drive important strategic priorities forward, including student experience, interdisciplinary innovation, and diversity and inclusion. Participants left the session with immediate ideas to use to reframe the space conversation on campus to that which benefits the institution’s mission priorities.
