The broader issue of planning for the future is always topical at in institution. Is there alignment with an academic plan; is there clarity over growth; do we need a new campus; how can we be competitive; how do we spread the capital and balance with maintenance; should I do a SAMP or a master plan or a higher level exercise. All these questions are often relevant particularly given that Vice Chancellors come and go and often focus on campus planning early in their term. All too ofter campus planning is a default to a spatial master plan rather than a strategic approach designed to achieve competitive advantage. This workshop will explore the broader strategic issues about how best to plan for the future
The workshop will be split between lectures and debate as follows:
- a review of the history of campus development and how the different campiest typologies have emerged. This section will also include a section of the estate trends that are current around the world. This will be followed by a debate
- the second lecture will be a review of how campus planning should be approached . All the key issues and options for tackling the issues. From this there will be a feed back session whereby the groups identify what the common themes are. At the end there will be a summary of all the issues.
