In today's evolving higher education landscape, campus spaces must be adaptable to serve multiple goals while competing with other institutional priorities for precious dollars. In this case study, session leaders chart the multi-pronged path forward to meet Tuft University School of Medicine’s 2030 Vision: Repurpose a historic campus for modern student life, improve space quality meet program requirements, increase space utilization, reduce operational costs, address deferred maintenance, and meet campus electrification commitments in the next 10 years. They illustrate a systematic methodology for developing a Campus Framework Plan enabling institutions to do more with less, meet strategic goals for growth, modernization, and enhanced campus experience, and prepare for the future.
