Designing for Interaction: Faculty/Student Communication

Presenter(s): Matthew Barhydt and Charles J. Kirby, Einhorn Yaffee Prescott Architects & Engineers PC; Edward Moroni, Columbia University
Convener: Cathy Daskalakis, Gruzen Samton Architects, Planners & Interior Designers LLP

As technology pervades academia, interaction between faculty and students is becoming increasingly important. Shifts in communication place an emphasis on classroom configurations, size, front-of-the-room accessibility, and how these factors evolve. Office spaces are also being designed as communities to foster communication with students. Using examples from Harvard Business School, Chatham College, Columbia University, and Northwestern University, we will discuss the technological impacts on communication and academic building designs.
This knowledge resource from SCUP is a concurrent session presented at the Society's thirty-sixth annual, international conference and Expo, SCUP–36, in Boston, MA (USA), in July of 2001.

Audiocassettes of this and other SCUP–36 sessions are available for purchase here.

Due to our concern for the privacy of members of the face-to-face audiences at SCUP-36, our digital archives of SCUP-36 presentations end at the beginning of the question and answer portion of each session. Whenever we can, we not only provide streaming audio but the slide show or visual presentation used by the presenters, as well.
