Space: The Final Frontier
Making the (quantitative) case for space
- Inventory of existing space utilization plus extrapolate space needs over next 5-10 years
- New kinds of research activities: wet labs, expanded Microlab, computer rooms, space for industrial visitors, postdocs
- New kinds of teaching activities: executive education, production facilities, distance learning classrooms
- Changing nature of student body (e.g., instructional computer labs versus instrumentation/hardware labs)
- Accommodating planned faculty and student growth, retirements/emeriti space
- Campus-level intensive space scrutiny next year; must be prepared!
