Due to today’s weather conditions, the location of the Welcome Reception has moved to the Kunkle Lounge.
Intro
We are looking forward to welcoming you to Happy Valley and the 2023 Summer Conference at Penn State. Our agenda is filling up with tours of a new Engineering Building, the Pegula Ice Arena, our Housing & Foods Warehouse operation, and behind-the-scenes at the famous Berkey Creamery. We’re also looking at three (3) roundtable sessions:
-
Impacts of flexible and remote work on campus spaces.
-
Systems we each use to track our spaces and measure utilization.
-
Show us your worst classroom! (We’re going to meet in one of ours, and then show you how we can renovate and revitalize a tired old space.)
Start gathering your ideas for presentation now, we’ll be in touch to get images/slides for a series of lightning-round 5-minute presentations.
