Program Based Planning: Integrating Academic, Facilities and Capital Planning

Presenter(s): Lily C. Berrios and Jeff Floyd, Sizemore Floyd; Edgar C. Torbert and Harry E. Wyatt, Georgia State University

Few campuses have found the missing link . . . the critical connection between academic, physical, and capital planning. Those three key elements of campus planning must be integrated to provide the university with an objective, defensible, and effective daily decision-making device. This workshop presents the program-based planning process and examples of its use and implementation at small and large colleges. Plus, as a case study, the workshop will provide an in-depth examination of its application at Georgia State University. The session explores the critical junctures of physical planning including setting the stage for successful planning, linking academic analysis, facilities utilization, and the capital resources, the collaboration of all stakeholders, and the lessons learned applicable to all campuses that must respond to closer scrutiny and added value needed from their campus's physical and capital assets. The workshop notebook will contain notes, spreadsheets, and issues to take home. Lily Berrios is a principal at Sizemore Floyd Architects, Inc., with a specialty in the area of higher education facility design and planning. W. Jeff Floyd is also a principal at Sizemore Floyd, with over 25 years in higher education facility design. Edgar C. Torbert is assistant to the provost, and Harry E. Wyatt is director of facilities planning, both at Georgia State University.
