Campuses are being tasked to perform in a myriad of ways: supporting the academic mission and student well-being, accommodating new teaching modalities, and adapting to climate change. How do these considerations inform campus design and an institution’s aesthetic? Two university landscape architects and a practitioner share recent experiences and lessons.

Attendees will explore key considerations, real-world applications, and essential resources to integrate carbon budgeting into their design process. The session will also include recommendations for material specification using the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) 2014 framework, highlighting ways to reduce impacts from project materials’ embodied carbon, transportation, and installation.

Art and culture—like many public realm enhancements—may be their own rewards, but investors want data. This session presents a framework for quantifying economic and social impacts of public space interventions, using both technology and DIY tools, and a methodology for ensuring impact is attributed to the intervention.

Youth-led community development can be a critical component to addressing systemic inequities, including the risks and traumas associated with climate change. This session will present the impacts of a unique partnership between community, practice, and academia to provide equitable design strategies for resilience in East Kinston, NC.
