Society for College and University Planning (SCUP) North-Central Recap: A Week of Inspiration and Insights! Another successful SCUP event is in the books, and this year's North-Central gathering delivered some exciting ideas and standout moments. Here are a few "hot takes" that left a lasting impression: 🔹 United Tribes Technical College – A master plan built around their unique culture, led by President Leander McDonald and developed in partnership with Heidi Neumueller, AIA, LEED AP. The standout for me? Their comprehensive support for single-parent families, including daycare options, housing, and even an on-site elementary school! Talk about meeting students where they are! #MeetStudentsWhereTheyAre 🔹 The Ohio State University – A fascinating deep dive into unlocking the potential of their waterfront, led by Jessica Leonard and Courtney Wolff (Ayers Saint Gross), and Rebekah Gayley (OSU). A timeline spanning from the early 1900s to today, this project highlights the evolving vision of seeing the river as a feature and a driver of economic and ecological goals. A masterclass in long-term campus planning! 🔹 University of Wisconsin-Stout – I was inspired by how Cathy O'Hara Weiss, Justin Utpadel, and the SmithGroup team (Douglas Kozma and Lana Zoet, AIA) showcased the power of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and GIS integration. It's incredible to see how technology is transforming space analysis across typologies and departments to create more efficient and effective environments. One key theme that resonated from the keynote to the panels: Unscheduled Space – open labs, social areas, study spaces... How do we quantify it? If you're looking for scalable, affordable solutions, I might have something to show you 😉 Thanks to everyone I connected with at SCUP! It's always a pleasure to be part of such a collaborative and forward-thinking community. #CampusPlanning #HigherEd #SCUP #FacilityManagement #StudentSuccess
