Prioritizing Accessibility on Campus: A Blueprint for Inclusive Higher Education!   In the pursuit of fostering inclusive and welcoming campuses, universities are expanding their focus beyond traditional accessibility measures. Robert J. Parise and Director of the Higher Education Studio at Glavé & Holmes Architecture in Richmond, Va., explores this holistic approach, emphasizing options for everyone on campus. Some Key Insights: 1. The conversation on accessibility has evolved to encompass not only physical structures but also broader goals that cater to the diverse needs of the campus community. 2. The article highlights the importance of a comprehensive campus accessibility plan that addresses the unique characteristics of each institution. 3. The University of Mary Washington (UMW) serves as an example, emphasizing priority projects and areas based on research and consultation with students, faculty, and staff. 4. Critical lessons include conducting a campus accessibility study, aligning projects with university values, and developing plans early in the project timeline. 5. Despite challenges in existing structures, there are creative ways to prioritize accessibility during renovations. 6. Virginia State University (VSU) exemplifies this by adding exterior elevator towers to enhance accessibility while optimizing existing square footage.

You don't need an ROI calculator to see how the right data can pay for itself a thousand times over. In this detailed case study at Purdue University, Rob Wynkoop demonstrates how occupancy data supports the university's objectives and helps navigate politics and personalities on the path to real savings. #spaceplanning #campusmanagement

Not far from Portland State University, down a little road tucked under three highway overpasses, sits the International School of Portland (ISP)—a leafy four-acre campus serving nearly 400 students from preschool to fifth grade.  The latest project to come through the #BetterBlockPSU program is focused on improving bike/ped access to the ISP campus. To provide more transportation options and give the students more access to the school's surrounding neighborhood, Portland State University students are working to improve walking and biking access to the campus. Championed by ISP’s volunteer Green Team, Facilities Manager Steve Borcherding, and Head of School Bodo Heiliger, the project is now about one-third of the way through the Better Block PSU Project Pathway. In the Spring 2024 term, PSU Nohad A. Toulan School of Urban Studies and Planning students Evan Howington, Shotaro Kato, Steven Lowe and Tristan Stretch spent time engaging with ISP’s school community and investigating the features of the neighborhood. This fall, PSU students in the Active Transportation Planning and Design Studio course (for which enrollment is open now, taught by adjunct instructor Derek Abe) will delve further into the nuts and bolts of potential designs. After that, the project will likely move on to become the focus of a capstone project for a student in the Maseeh College of Engineering and Computer Science, Portland State University. By the time the project crosses the finish line, the goal is to have a complete engineering plan for viable and affordable biking and walking facilities. Having an existing plan should make it much easier for the school to work with the city to implement the changes.
