Space Wars -- Departmental Needs and University Planning

Presenter(s): Christine Cousineau, Goody, Clancy & Associates; John Dunbar and Deborah Poodry, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Convener: James Theel, Azusa Pacific University

Space wars are an integral part of academic life. Departments vie with each other and with the administration to expand program space, upgrade facilities, and move to new quarters. Research and donor funds lay claim to building projects. In the midst of competing demands, administrators strive to maintain equity in space allocation. The space planning project for the Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology illustrates how programming can be used for advocacy.
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.
