Attend this conference to benchmark your institution's plans and processes for the renovation, modernization, expansion, and new construction of higher education science, engineering, and research facilities.
PLUS! This special pre-conference course on November April 6th:
The Fundamentals of Planning and Design of University Science and Engineering Facilities
Here you’ll see and learn about the latest facility solutions to meet the needs of basic and applied sciences and the many new and rapidly growing fields of study. In particular, you’ll get the details, metrics, costs, and functional requirements for modern, up-to-date laboratories and core facilities, and spaces for teaching, learning, testing, making, imaging, collaborating, computing, socializing, officing, recruiting, and more.
And, you’ll learn how these new solutions:
- Increase the flexibility and adaptability of learning and research spaces
- Facilitate the shared use of spaces and resources
- Grow research laboratory capacity
- Upgrade learning and research laboratory work environments
- Add facility features that will attract faculty and next-gen science students
- Accommodate the needs of existing programs
- Support cross- and multi-discipline programs and multiple user-groups
- Modernize classroom/lecture/lab space plans, fit-ups and configurations
- Enhance collaboration and connectivity
- Raise space utilization in existing science and engineering buildings
- Provide new space types for new program requirements
- Improve capital project execution for lower costs and faster delivery
- Support hybrid learning models for science and engineering programs
- Implement initiatives for decarbonization and electrification
- Update science facility master plans
Make this a key planning event to get your project stakeholders on the same planning page with respect to the details, numbers,processes, and expectations! This includes campus and facility planners, capital project people, science and engineering deans, program chairs, key faculty members, research program directors, facility engineers, operations managers, design architects, and institutional finance officers.
If you would like to participate as an exhibitor or sponsor, please contact us.
Who should attend?
Conference registration is open to those employed at universities, colleges, and junior colleges, and their project teams including project managers, facility planners, lab planners, space planners, architects, facility engineers, operations managers, academic science, technology, and engineering deans, faculty, and research program administrators. Conference registration is limited for those not employed at colleges and universities. Product vendors must be sponsors or exhibitors to attend. The conference sessions are primarily aimed at equipping facility owners/end-users to make optimal project team, facility design, programming, and construction decisions.
