Attend this conference to benchmark your plans for renovations, expansions, and new construction of higher education science and engineering research and education facilities.
PLUS! This special pre-conference course on October 1st:
The Fundamentals of Planning and Design of University Science and Engineering Facilities
PLUS! Tour these outstanding new teaching and research buildings:
Gary L. Thomas Energy Engineering Building (EEB), UT Austin
Engineering Education and Research Center (EERC), UT Austin
New construction, renovation, and space planning initiatives are delivering new space types, program colocations, and layouts, and very different physical infrastructure platforms needed for:
- Growth in applied engineering and science, robotics, advanced manufacturing,
clean energy technologies, and computational and data science programs - Better space allocation and higher utilization
- Flexibility and adaptability for shared use and multiple modalities
- Program convergence of engineering, the sciences, and advanced technologies
- Improved capital project execution – construction costs, timing, delivery strategies
- Increased research laboratory capacity and improved lab environments
- Faculty and staff officing
- Hybrid, experiential, and project-based learning
- Expanded emphasis on maker culture and entrepreneurship programs
- Enhanced collaboration and connectivity
- Improved sustainability initiatives, energy reduction, and water conservation
- Master planning initiatives for science, engineering, and high-tech programs
You’ll get details on facility components that support new and expanded research programs, enable active and hybrid learning, improve recruitment of researchers, students, and faculty, make more efficient use of resources (space, budgets, and core technology), increase flexibility, integrate science and engineering disciplines, boost collaboration and interaction, and reduce capital and operating costs.
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.
More details will be available shortly.

Who should attend?
Conference registration is open to those employed at universities, colleges, and junior colleges, and their project teams including project managers, facility planners, lab planners, space planners, architects, facility engineers, operations managers, academic science, technology, and engineering deans, faculty, and research program administrators. Conference registration is limited for those not employed at colleges and universities. Product vendors must be sponsors or exhibitors to attend. The conference sessions are primarily aimed at equipping facility owners/end-users to make optimal project team, facility design, programming, and construction decisions.
