WELCOME

Welcome to the 2011 Midwest Great Lakes Regional Conference. As the name implies, the theme for the 2011 conference is “connect.” Why? Our rapidly evolving and connected global landscape begs for it; no, demands it. Making connections is critical to successful learning. It rejects siloed, compartmentalized thinking in favor of holistic systems thinking. Making connections creates possibility where before there were disparate ideas. Making connections is fundamental to the learning process. And making connections has never been easier.

We are tremendously excited to share an exciting conference agenda, which includes a number of keynote addresses from exceptionally creative and connected educators and thought leaders. We are also excited by the topical sessions being presented by leading planners, architects and educators. Additionally, several tours of innovative professional work and learning environments will connect you to new ideas in design for creativity and collaboration.

I would like to extend a big thank you to the firms who were part of the conference planning committee to the left.

Cheers!

“If we learn by doing, what are we learning by sitting in this classroom?”a 21st century student

There are many ways to interpret the notion of “21st century learning”, and any interpretation that excludes access to technology is missing the point. For today’s students, technology is a ubiquitous part of their lives; as tools for exploring, engaging, connecting and supporting their natural curiosity. Inviting these tools into the learning environment is essential to the 21st century concept of hands-on learning: interactive and self-directed explorations of a concept, topic or subject, using the most appropriate and effective resources available to research, explore, create and share ideas.

In this session, we will use hands-on activities to demystify 21st century learning. using the high-performance spaces at Chicago’s award-winning WorkSpring collaboration center (check it out at www.workspring.com!), architects, planners, educators, technology specialists and students will collaborate to explore new ways to engage learners. The central activity will be to develop an experiential lesson plan using current technology, on a surprise topic (think “secret ingredient”), that challenges participants to explore ways to engage students in powerful learning.

Feel free to bring your own toolkit of devices – laptops, tablets, smart-phones, ipods, cameras, etc. to supplement the experience! This hands-on session will enlighten your understanding of the opportunities and challenges of technology as a tool for 21st century learning.

Creativity is just connecting things.

When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they

didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s

because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize new things. And the

reason they were able to do that was that they’ve had more experiences or they have thought

more about their experiences than other people.

The broader one’s understanding of the human experience, the better design we will have. “

“ It’s tough to make predictions, especially about the future.”–Yogi Berra

One of the fundamental goals of public education is to prepare our youth for a future that cannot possibly be predicted...to prepare children to not just survive, but to thrive in an evolving global economy. Experts all seem to agree that successful students will need skill sets different than those needed in the past. Achieving these skills requires a growing awareness of the importance of collaboration, creativity, and relevant connections to two distinct communities: local and global. Delivery systems are adapting to meet the challenge. Learning environments must respond with agility and flexibility. This interactive session will explore ways to re-envision the planning process as a co-creative experience. The results are learning “settings” that can adapt to meet the challenges of this unpredictable future, and engage students in a variety of learning experiences.

1A Some call it STEM, some call it STEAM, others call it project-based learning. We call it the FuTuRE VS – Merchandise Mart- 11th Floor

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

– understand the correlation between 21st century skills and learning settings

– Discuss how agile spaces inspire interaction and excitement about learning

– Integrate local and global communities into educational settings

– Identify a community’s distinctive attributes and weave them into the curriculum

Beth Hebert Winnetka Public Schools

Stewardship begins with a vision – an expectation of something remarkable and a realistic anticipation of that vision’s long journey over time. Commonly associated with older school buildings that have sustained a remarkable reputation, stewardship can be an energizing framework to incorporate into beginning conversations about new school buildings. Crow Island School in Winnetka, IL was a new school in 1940. In the early 1930s a wise and eminently capable board of education set the bar quite high when they searched for leadership and subsequent facility plans for growing enrollments in the Winnetka Public Schools. They hired a young Superintendent, Carleton Washburne, who over time hired hundreds of teachers and principals who understood and shared the vision. In 1939 Superintendent Carleton Washburne called upon a firm of young, progressive architects, Perkins, Wheeler, and Will to collaborate with the famous Finnish architects Eliel and Eero Saarinen, and to draw up a plan for a new type of school. He told them he was looking for “a beautiful, practical architectural embodiment of an educational philosophy.” Crow Island School opened in 1940, and has been praised throughout the education/architecture world ever since.

2A Stewardship from the Start: Anticipating a School’s Legacy VS – Merchandise Mart - 11th Floor

Educational environments vary across the world – from the “tent schools” of Haiti to the progressive learning environments of Helsinki to the “Taj Mahal” schools of the uS. But while the buildings may vary, the needs of students are much the same. Greg Monberg, George Kacan, and Riyad Bannourah of Fanning Howey will take attendees on a 120-minute journey through schools from across the world. Over the course of three collaborative workshops, they will discuss everything from tents to Taj Mahals, as the group examines a student’s “hierarchy of needs,” discusses the various factors that influence student performance, and explores how “connections” differ in a variety of modern classrooms. The session will begin as Greg, George, and Riyad present examples of schools from across the world. These examples will be drawn from their own experience with projects and conferences in Haiti, Estonia, Finland, and across the united States. In the first workshop, participants will break into small groups to discuss the topic of a “Student’s Hierarchy of Needs.” The concept is based on Maslow’s famous hierarchy, and includes Building and Ground Needs at the bottom and Facility Actualization at the top.

For the CEFPI 2011 conference, we will facilitate a workshop that introduces our efforts to connect high school students to design thinking in the Prototype Design Camp. This connection gives future minds the processes to tackle the world’s most complex problems. Prototype Design Camp (www.prototypedesigncamp.com/) invited young creatives to use Design Thinking methodologies to solve real-world problems in the center of the annual eTech Ohio Educational Technology Conference, a 3-day statewide conference focusing on the evolution of education. This 3-day camp is one of many Prototype initiatives around the country. Prototype initiatives focus the use of Design Thinking to empower students to solve authentic problems of value to them (and society-at-large). Project themes are context-based and supported by local mentors + planning team members. Programs are currently being developed in Dallas, San Francisco, Chicago, Hartford, and elsewhere. More than 45 students from high schools throughout Ohio and beyond were invited to join Prototype. Along with them, an extraordinary group of professional mentors from around Ohio, the country, and the globe joined them on their design journey.

4A Prototype Design Camp: An Invitation To Re-Imagine The Future of Learning izzy+ – Hotel – Merchants South

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

– Define design thinking as authentic 21st Century pedagogy

– Re-examine the “Classroom of the Future” as process and space

– Identify the relationship between emerging technoloogy, design and education

– Develop a global network of design professionals and educators to support students as design thinkers

Although the 20th century witnessed the evolution of the school building as the milieu where learning occurs, the 21st Century has been given the daunting task of advancing this typology. The reason this is daunting is because the design professional must address an array of technologies to support the active learner. In fact, the building systems and information technologies must not only assist the learning process, but most importantly must be understood as active to support the diverse ways in which people master skills. For this reason, the programming, planning, and design of schools or better yet learning communities must be examined to inform researchers, administrators of educational facilities, facility managers, educators, design professionals, and all potential users of the facility in how integrate these technologies so that places are designed to be congruent with the needs of the users. The specific objectives of the presentation are to inform the design professional and encourage them to re-think their approach and provide a framework to how learning environments can be designed and built.

5A Connecting 21st Century Learning to the Learning Environment Steelcase – Hotel 14th Floor – Steamboat North

Research findings from a broad range of disciplines indicate that school landscapes play a key role in student learning, behavior, and development. Despite such research findings, a majority of school landscapes fail to provide a multi-dimensional learning experience for students. This lack of attention to transforming school grounds into learning landscapes contributes to several Perkins+Will that affect student learning. This workshop will focus on three of these problems which appear as the most prevalent and disturbing: a) the correlation of unattractive school grounds and student behavioral problems and low academic achievement; b) a separation between students and nature that school grounds are unable to bridge; and c) a shortage of interesting and stimulating natural areas for children to play in. Each of these problems will be examined to underscore the importance of developing school grounds as an integral part of the student learning environment, much in the same way that consideration is given to the interior of school buildings. Possibilities for maximizing the potential of school grounds to enhance student learning and development will be examined.

6A Designing School Landscapes to Connect With Student Learning and Development Steelcase – Hotel 14th Floor – Steamboat South

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

– Compare the potential learning opportunities of a learning landscape with those of a typical school ground

– Identify ways in which school grounds can be designed to contribute to student intellectual development

– Identify how opportunities to experience nature within the setting of a school ground enhances student learning and

In its heyday, Detroit Public Schools was a thriving educational landscape with nearly 300,000 students and some of the nation’s best schools. More recently, the district has served as a model of a different kind – a cautionary tale. Facing enrollment levels that are the lowest level since World War I, an aging and outdated facility inventory, and an extreme financial crisis, the district needed to find new ways to connect to success. This presentation will tell the story of Detroit Public Schools’ current efforts to once again become a model educational community. Attendees will learn about the history of the district’s 2009 Bond Program, a story that begins with the arrival of Emergency Financial Manager Robert Bobb. Our presentation will outline the challenges facing Mr. Bobb in 2008, and explain his ambitious plans for a $500.5 million Bond Program, which passed in 2009. Ed Schmidt and Troy Glover, two members of the district’s Program Management team, the Walbridge Joint Venture for Detroit Public Schools, will explain the goals of the Bond Program and the challenges facing the joint venture.

7A Detroit 2009 Bond: Connecting to Success Hotel 14th Floor – Bull’s Head

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

– understand proper Program Management procedures for large, urban districts

– Be able to explain how to package multiple projects under fast-tracked timeframes

– Learn strategies for keeping students and educational planning best practices first in a fast-track, high-pressure school construction program

It only takes a visit to a coffee shop, airport, hotel lobby, computer store, business center or modern office to see the ways that we collaborate, communicate, work and interact in a dynamic and fluid world. Students are on the move. Communicating, creating, sharing, playing, and learning at an accelerated pace. At the same time educational organizations are increasingly challenged to connect with a wide spectrum of learners. Schools are looking across the board at curriculum, daily schedules, assessments, technology, partnerships and facilities to create strategies that work for ALL students. This hands-on session is an in-depth look at strategies for creating agile learning environments, and demonstrates a flexible classroom in action. Participants will explore connections between learning environments and learning: reviewing current thought on creating high performing learning spaces, educational models for reaching multiple styles of learning, and planning concepts that allow classrooms to anticipate the needs of learners. During the workshop, participants will experience furniture designed to move, creating multiple possibilities for dynamic learning environments.

1B Classrooms on the Move VS – Merchandise Mart - 11th Floor

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

– Explore current educational ideas that are supported by agile facility strategies.

– understand how flexible planning strategies can be implemented at a range of scales.

– understand planning and design strategies for flexible classrooms.

– Experience working in a dynamic learning environment.

Melissa Bradford Tallgrass Sudbury School

If you walk into a Sudbury school expecting classrooms of age-segregated students with rows of desks, textbooks and chalkboards, you’d be in for a surprise. You are more likely to see students lying on couches, art projects adorning the walls, cupcakes being baked in the kitchen. You might see rooms dedicated to video gaming, meetings or music; students in forts made with blankets and cushions in a room filled with shelves of manga, mysteries and animal books; or cappuccinos being made and sold in the art room.. Most traditional schools are based on a standardized, one-size-fits-all, carrot-and-stick educational philosophy, and their facilities reflect that ideal. From the desks in rows to the ringing of the bell, a traditional classroom is not designed for flexibility, spontaneity, creativity, dialogue or flow. Rather than viewing each student as a unique individual, students are separated by age and expected to master a standard curriculum.

In contrast, a Sudbury school has as its basis the philosophy that “all people are curious by nature; that the most efficient, long-lasting, and profound learning takes place when started and pursued by the learner; that all people are creative if they are allowed to develop their unique talents; that age-mixing among students promotes growth in all members of the group; and that freedom is essential to the development of personal responsibility.”

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

– What is a Sudbury school?

– How does the Sudbury educational model meet individual learning styles?

– How does a Sudbury school represent forward-thinking and innovative practices in education?

– How is space used in a Sudbury school?

Part of our strategy is to construct a series of Environmental Learning Centres which are used as classrooms. These free standing buildings contain teaching resources to support lessons aligned with our curriculum in energy conservation, renewable resources, solar advantages of building position, natural processes and energy generation. The size of our Centres allow the materials and technologies used in construction to be more residential in nature and be visible and interactive to students. We propose to introduce these Centres and discuss their construction and many unique features. As an example, our first Centre is a straw bale insulated, wood framed building, clearly oriented on the site to take advantage of solar energy and protect the inside environment from prevailing winds. In 2010, the 2,280 square foot building, which gets all its power from electricity, used approximately 17,000 kWh to provide all energy requirements including heat, lights and ancillary power. This Centre generates its own electricity through renewable resources with a small wind turbine (1.8 kW) and solar photo voltaic panels installed on the roof. The performance of the photo voltaic system can be monitored on the internet by students and the public for educational purposes. This Centre is presently operating at zero net energy costs.

3B Environmental Learning Centres–Environmental Stewardship Starts in the Classroom izzy+ – Hotel 14th Floor– Merchants North

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

– Learning the fundamental tenants of environmental stewardship in 21st-century schools

Patricia Kucker university of Cincinnati

This session chronicles the activities and outcomes of graduate architecture students researching and visioning a 21st century elementary school for a local suburban district. As a critical practice and problem-framing activity, we partnered with a local suburban school district of 45,000 inhabitants; a local architectural firm working in the K-12 market; several school principals from an adjacent urban district, along with colleagues from the school of education. The resulting work reflects planning and design informed by new education paradigms, including new place-making strides, sociability, sustainability and connections to the surrounding community context. As a process of inquiry, research into school building precedent studies, topic literature and our consultants assisted in developing a set of learning principles and programmatic narratives that guided students in the design phase. Conventional research, planning workshops and interviews considered organizational patterns, activity and use to construct frameworks of learning and human agency that define the school environment.

Daniel Pink, Thomas Friedman, Sir Ken Robinson and numerous other thought leaders cite the ability to create and innovate as important skills, among others, that today’s students and workers will need in their toolbox if they are to be successful in our rapidly evolving and competitive global economy. But, can we teach our students to create and innovate? And, what might the educational processes, programs and spaces that foster these skills look like? This provocative session will survey a number of theories and writings surrounding the process of innovation in an attempt to reveal essential ingredients and how they can inform decisions about education and learning environments in the future. Via case studies of recently completed work and school environments, we will explore how this new paradigm of the innovation economy might influence both the planning process and design outcomes of learning spaces–whether they exist in school or workplace.

Madeira City Schools

Wanting maximize the $1.5 million a donor gave Madeira City Schools for solar panels, Madeira began researching the options for solar power generation. This presentation will address the process Madeira started to maximize the on-site power generation. The speakers will discuss the ABC’s of Energy Conservation: Awareness – Involving and educating all stakeholders in reducing energy usage is vital to the District’s success; Behavioral Changes – Necessary to save money and energy; Consumption – Only variable District can control; and Dedication – Success Starts from the Top. Speakers will describe how they created an energy efficiency culture in the district based on the ABC’s and integrated it into the schools’ curriculum through a “real time” energy dashboard. As the cultural changes occurred, the next step was an energy audit and energy efficient retrofits to increase the district’s overall efficiency. Increasing energy efficiency meant that a small solar array could be used to offset the power needs. School officials began exploring options for on-site power generation through solar photovoltaic panels. They evaluated the benefits of self-ownership as opposed to third party ownership and created an RFP for a solar power purchase agreement.

We will take an in depth look at the Ohio School Facilities Commission: its programs, policies, and commitment to the students of Ohio. OSFC has long been recognized for the positive impact of its School Design Manual on academic achievement and serves as a model for other states administering state-wide building programs. We will explore how the Commission has evolved and adapted over the years and how it is currently dealing with the struggling economy. OSFC was created in 1997 to administer the state’s comprehensive public school construction program. Its staff and consultants assist school districts in funding, planning, designing, and building/renovating schools. The Commission has disbursed over $8.3 billion for school construction and renovation, resulting in the occupancy of 760 buildings serving an estimated 423,000 children. To date, enrollment projections for over 400 districts in OSFC programs have been completed, including the six major urban districts: Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Akron, Toledo, and Dayton. There is a total of 612 districts in the state of Ohio ranging in enrollment from 98 students to 53,000 students.

GoogleChicago Office 20 W. Kinzie Street

Google’s mission is to organize the world‘s information and make it universally accessible and useful.

Beginning in 1996, Stanford university graduate students Larry Page and Sergey Brin built a search engine called “BackRub” that used links to determine the importance of individual web pages. By 1998 they had formalized their work, creating the company you know today as Google. Since then, Google has grown by leaps and bounds. From offering search in a single language we now offer dozens of products and services—including various forms of advertising and web applications for all kinds of tasks—in scores of languages. And starting from two computer science students in a university dorm room, we now have thousands of employees and offices around the world.

Search is how Google began, and it’s still at the heart of what they do today. Google devotes more engineering time to search than to any other product, because search can always get better and faster at helping you find what you want, when you want it, where you want it. Google’s Chicago office has most everything other Google offices have like free food, live search tvs, bright colors, and a creative team-friendly atmosphere.

For me, the concept of design is more than object-oriented; it encompasses the design

of processes, systems and institutions as well. Increasingly, we need to think about designing the types of institutions we need to get things

done in this rapidly accelerating world.”
