Why is it important to have this information easily accessible and how does it benefit your campus? C&S has located, assessed condition and capacity, and created graphical infrastructure information models for two campuses using two different approaches, GIS and BIM. We will present case studies on SUNY Cobleskill and SUNY Oswego describing the process and the benefits for planning, design and construction, and operations and maintenance. Live demonstrations of each model will be included. Course Objectives: 1) Learn what an infrastructure study is. 2) Learn why it is important to have an infrastructure study. 3) Learn the process of undertaking an infrastructure study. 4) Learn how the infrastructure model is useful for planning, design, construction, and operations and maintenance. 5) Learn what an infrastructure model looks like.

When planning new or renovated spaces, the first step in the planning process should be a structured conversation that revolves around desired programs and learning results and that includes stakeholders in a meaningful way. During this day-long session, the presenters will share a model to generate discussions and develop beliefs that will ensure learning drives construction. Participants will begin to develop a local plan to build a strategic planning task force, identify information to challenge the task force and identify current vital signs. Additionally, they will develop open-ended questions that will guide the task force development of beliefs and commitments surrounding facilities and learning. Facilities and instructional leaders are encouraged to attend this session together to learn how to engage with a local task force to identify learning beliefs and decide how facilities will help accomplish them. Course Topics: • The importance of identifying a community’s learning values. • The importance of ensuring that a community’s learning values drive the planning and construction of educational facilities. • The importance of effective public participation and techniques for meaningful engagement. • How to develop strategic planning programs that ensure that learning beliefs and commitments drive facility design and construction. Course Objectives: • Understand the use of strategic planning for facilities • Understand how strategic planning for facilities fits into the construction process • Learn about a model to create a strategic planning process that will allow learning to be the most important factor in the plan • Begin to develop a local plan for strategically developing facilities Instructors: Mark Littleton Mark Littleton, Ed.D., has been with Tarleton State University since 1998, holding the positions of head of the Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies; the Director of the Texas Center for Educational Facilities; Project Director for the American Clearinghouse on Educational Facilities; and Doctoral Program Coordinator (2003-2012).

Although as a laboratory school, PK Yonge is active in developing integrated, “rigorous and relevant,” project-based curricula, the existing buildings of PK Yonge were designed to look like every other school in the 1950s. The master planning process and re-building of the PK Yonge campus is an opportunity to reconfigure the physical environment to better implement the learning strategies which they have pioneered, and facilitate the development of new learning models. This presentation will walk facility planners and design professionals through the concept of learning styles and how they were incorporated into the design of the new “Lower School” on the PK Yonge campus. .
