Build If You Must, But Consider...3. Modernization. Planning for Higher Education; Vol. 3; No. 3; June 1974.
Kliment, Stephen A.; Lord, Jane
One way to meet the problems of space needs of new programs and a wider constituency without resorting to new buildings is to modernize available campus space. With costs of new construction steadily rising, with space on which to build dwindling and with the growing affection for old, familiar buildings on campus, modernization often serves as the ideal answer. The range of choices is a wide one, beginning with limited clearning up, painting, recarpeting and exchange of furniture, all the way to the kind of remodeling that leaves nothing standing but the old outside walls. In between there are solutions like the one at the University of Tennessee, where some walls were taken out, big new flexible spaces created, and almost immediate moving in is possible. Despite drawbacks, modernization in its various forms is able to help hard-pressed managers of campus space to come to grips with these problems. (Author/PG)
