Elegant Edges: Strategies for Designing a Dynamic Interface Between Campus and City
Presenter(s): Joseph Greco, Lord, Aeck & Sargent; Carl V. Patton, Georgia State University ; John H. Starr, Lord, Aeck & Sargent
Convener: John McGuire, Ac Martin Partners, Inc

The most dynamic and memorable places at many traditional and urban campuses are where campus planning complements urban planning of the surrounding community. Panelists will outline strategies used by and show examples from universities such as Georgia Tech, the University of Chicago, Georgia State University, UNC-Chapel Hill, and the University of Georgia. These universities have all succeeded at creating unique identities at their interfaces with the surrounding city, contributing greatly to attracting and retaining students and faculty.
