Safety protocols while at conference: This conference will be conducted in accordance with state, local, and hotel safety protocols with respect to masks on larger gatherings. Currently, masks are not required but recommended in hotel public spaces. View safety protocol FAQs.
At this conference you’ll get the details on the newly emerging science, engineering, and advanced technology capital project and space planning initiatives that are changing the face of higher education campuses.
PLUS! Tour these outstanding local buildings:
Interdisciplinary Science and Technology Building 7 (ISTB 7) and Biodesign C at Arizona State University
850 PBC – a Wexford and ASU Innovation Center on the Phoenix Biomedical Campus
Students, grant funding programs, researchers, and the market at large are all demanding advanced technology capabilities beyond the campus norm. New construction, renovation, and space planning initiatives are delivering totally new space types, program colocations, and layouts, and very different physical infrastructure platforms needed for:
- Increasingly blurred lines between physical, digital, and biological spheres of learning and research
- Widespread program convergence of the sciences, engineering, and advanced technologies
- Active, experiential, and project-based learning
- Growth in data-science-driven research and education
- Expanded emphasis on maker culture and entrepreneurship programs
- Meeting market demand for skilled graduates in high-technology fields
Attend this conference to check your plans against what others are building for education, discovery, and innovation success in engineering, health sciences, biological/physical sciences, robotics, automated intelligence (AI), data sciences, biotechnology, nanotechnology, applied sciences, and other high-priority, high-tech programs. Here, you’ll get the details on state-of-the-art facility concepts, planning models, and capital project strategies for:
- Renovation, reuse, and repurposing of facilities for STEM
- Improved space utilization for labs, learning, and support space
- New classroom configurations: Active learning, flipped classrooms, and project-based education
- Research laboratory workspace and core labs
- High-growth programs: Robotics, bio-based engineering, computer and data sciences
- Trends in academic program convergence and space
- Flexibility and adaptability for shared use and multiple modalities
- Effective social and informal learning activity
- Collaboration and interaction for students and researchers
- Product design, ideation, prototyping, and maker space
- Innovation space for student entrepreneurship
- Industry-academic partnerships space
- Transparency and visual connections among students and programs
- Integrated science and engineering teaching and research
- Scientific lab furniture and casework
- Energy reduction, water conservation, and sustainability strategies
Make this a key planning event to get your project stakeholders (capital project people, facility planners, facility engineers, design architects, consulting engineers, science and engineering deans, program chairs and faculty, financial officers, and operations managers) on the same planning page with respect to the details, numbers, processes, and expectations.
