At this conference you’ll get details on strategic facility planning, facility design, facility renewal and modernization, space management and utilization, and operating strategies being implemented by peer academic institutions in response to new directions in healthcare and new integration requirements for academic medicine and health science programs. At issue is the alignment of facilities with new program strategies and financial models. Details of these new facility strategies involve new decisions on reconstituting underperforming space, the sharing of resources, space allocation and management, collaborative workspace, flexibility, program collocations, integrated curricula, new teaching pedagogies, simulation and high-tech equipment, translational research, genomics-driven healthcare, and institutional partnerships.
