Evolving the Commuter Campus to Build Resilient Communities
Housing availability improves equitable access to education, provides opportunity to create welcoming spaces for indigenous and marginalized students, and fosters wellbeing for the campus community.
In the face of a housing supply crisis, three commuter-only institutions brought housing to campus for the first time and shifted to a 24-hour campus community through a process that prioritized diversity, equity, and inclusion.
In the session, you will hear from three diverse institutional perspectives and gain applicable lessons learned on the social, cultural, environmental, economic, and political considerations for creating a new campus identity and operations model.
Learning Outcomes:
- Leverage integrated, collaborative, equity-based planning processes through diverse stakeholder engagement to implement a shift in campus identity and determine potential campus-scale barriers and opportunities relating to inclusion and wellbeing.
- Incorporate tools to identify health and holistic community wellbeing opportunities for building resilient campus communities.
- Evaluate methods for resolving real and perceived issues that arise from the introduction of housing and a 24/7 campus environment for campus operations.
- Demonstrate innovative opportunities for mixed use residential projects to help campuses reach sustainability, climate action, and environmental health goals.
Panelists:
- Ryan Blades, Director, Facilities and Campus Planning, Capilano University
- Colin Fowler, Vice-President, Finance and College Services, North Island College
- Nicole Kemp, Director, Campus Planning & Capital Projects, Camosun College
- Pauline Thimm, Associate, architect, and higher education leader, DIALOG
