At many research universities, activities connecting faculty hiring, lab development, research operations, and equipment planning span multiple units yet lack integrated governance, creating gaps that delay projects, strain capital resources, and misalign facilities with institutional priorities. This interactive, facilitated session invites participants to map their coordination processes, surface common challenges, and collectively build a shared model for how research facilities are planned and delivered. Drawing on a proven workshop framework and an implemented institutional example, Bruce Molino guides attendees in identifying actionable opportunities to improve alignment, clarify governance structures, and make more effective use of capital resources in support of institutional research priorities.
