It's All Perception-Impact of Architectural Style on Today's Campuses
Presenter(s): Pamela Delphenich, Yale University; Douglas K. Marsh, University of Notre Dame; James McManus, The S/L/A/M Collaborative Architects; Deborah M. Poodry, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Convener: Kevin P. Duffy, Boston College

After years of blending undistinguished contextual buildings into its campus, the University of Notre Dame recently made a conscious decision to return to the authentic "Notre Dame Gothic" architectural style of its earliest campus buildings. This session will explore the impact this decision has had on the university's fund-raising and recruitment, as well as on its overall image and marketing efforts. It will also address the technical challenges of returning to a traditional style, and help other educational institutions appreciate the marketing potential of their own campuses.


This knowledge resource from SCUP is a concurrent session presented at the Society's thirty-eighth annual, international conference and Expo, SCUP–38, in Miami Beach, FL (USA), in July of 2003.

Audiocassettes and MP3's (on CD's) of these and other SCUP–38 sessions are available for purchase here.
