professors or students from entering the stadium seating bowl while still allowing for tours or other revenue- generating non-event-day activities beyond academics. In a shared training facility and recreation center, window treatments, operable walls and sophis- ticated security technologies support flexibility. These options create neces- sary privacy for teams during meetings or practices while also creating connec- tivity when team spaces aren’t in use.
What’s Next
“We often talk about the unprec- edented value of spontaneous interac- tions in the research world. Campuses are no different,” says Chris DeVolder, managing principal of HOK’s Kansas City office, who has worked on numer- ous multipurpose facilities on college campuses, including Notre Dame’s Campus Crossroads. “When we bring professors from different fields together with researchers, administrators and athletes, we begin to uncover what’s best about universities — the diversity of thought processes and experiences.”
Schools can better establish them- selves as research institutions, for example, by bringing training, research and healthcare into one single facility that encourages interdisciplinary col- laboration. Or, by the same token, a hy- brid facility can create an unprecedented hub for student life by bringing together recreation, athletics, a student union and academics.
“At its core, the collaborative ap- proach results in buildings that work harder, do more and better serve the en- tire student body,” adds HOK’s Barraza.
Forward-thinking universities that have embraced this hybrid approach to facility design recognize the campus master plan as a living document that can evolve with the needs of the univer- sity. Yes, it’s true that pooling resources can create new and sometimes surpris- ing neighbors. These partnerships born from facilities projects can also pave the
way for future collaborations that ultimately ensure the long-term health and viability of the college campus. CPM

VICTOR STANLEY RELAYTM SENSOR AND SERVICE
Our Relay technology continuously monitors fill level, conveys system temperature, weight, location via GPS and collection status, in real-time and historically. The sensor is invisible to the public eye, but you can log in and clearly see how to maximize efficiencies in collection planning, scheduling, and routing – an estimated 20-40% reduction in collection expenses. Whether you retrofit or make it part of new orders, Relay says a lot about how your community handles waste.
