SCUP Excellence in Planning, SCUP Excellence in Landscape Architecture and SCUP/AIA-CAE Excellence in Architecture

This awards program was developed in 2000 with two purposes in mind: first, to recognize excellence in higher education and its resultant physical environment in higher education planning and design, and second, to educate planners and others about what constitutes excellence planning – academic, strategic and master planning – emphasizing the interconnectivity and importance of each one.

There are eight categories within this program. Submittals are made by teams of institutions and consulting firm(s). The ability to evaluate the why and how these plans, facilities, additions, renovations, landscapes, and individuals are worthy of recognition is key to providing clear lessons learned in planning. They are some of the best ways SCUP has to concretely show how the application of all our planning tools in the institute result in exemplary buildings, grounds, institutional success, and careers that inspire.
