Programmatic needs and funding parameters are driving institutions to blend a wide array of uses into individual capital building projects -- from the inclusion of instructional and research spaces to the merging of programs from various colleges and departments within singular buildings. Session leaders deliver success strategies and case studies for using "blended buildings" to support individual program and departmental needs, while also creating vibrant and interconnected communities for research and learning. They illustrate methods for reconciling specific technical requirements with future-facing flexibility, and the efficiency and cost-effectiveness that can be achieved through symbiotic opportunities.
