  1. ASU – One University in Many Places Overview of the Transitional Design to 21st Century Excellence

  2. Objective of the Design Process Build a comprehensive metropolitan research university that is an unparalleled combination of academic excellence and commitment to its social, economic, cultural, and environmental setting.

  3. ASU Challenges Rapid socio/economic change Increased global competition Rapid cultural diversification Limited higher education infrastructure Underperforming pre K-20 education

  4. ASU Evolution • Stages of ASU evolutionary history • Physical constraints on the Tempe campus • Limited public and private support for ASU

  5. ASU Design Options • Replication Model • Minnesota, Ohio State, UCLA • Incremental Model • Linear extrapolation to future from ASU of today • Differentiation Model • Building the New American University

  6. New American University:Design Imperatives • ASU Must Become a Force, and Not Only a Place • ASU as Entrepreneur • Pasteur’s Principle • A Focus on the Individual • ASU Must Embrace Its Cultural, Socioeconomic, and Physical Setting • Intellectual Fusion • Social Embeddedness • Global Engagement

  7. New American University: Differentiation Model Build on existing strengths of ASU: • New, flexible academic units • Strong cooperative environment of staff, faculty and students • Strong and deep linkages to the community • Nationally competitive interdisciplinary traditions

  8. New American University:Differentiation Model • Build for 21st century • Build for teaching and discovery • Build for the community: the University as social enterprise • Build colleges/schools and college/school clusters (campuses) that are different in kind but equal in quality

  9. ASU Design Approach:College/School Centric • Build the University around strong, entrepreneurial colleges/schools. • Create a design that allows colleges/schools to grow and prosper to their intellectual and market limits. • Create a federation of unique colleges/schools as the foundation of the premier metropolitan research university in the United States.

  10. College/School Centric Model: Competition • University success will be driven by academic excellence, social, economic and cultural impact and creativity attained by communities of students, faculty and staff driven to compete at the highest level. • Competition is nurtured and enhanced by close-knit organizations with focused missions and high degrees of freedom. In our case, COLLEGES & SCHOOLS.

  11. College/School Centric Model:Empowerment • Overcome historical physical and fiscal constraints through school level ownership • Encourage and allow new designs and new directions to gain distinctive differentiation for ASU colleges/schools • Empower each college/school to compete at the highest level for students, faculty and resources

  12. College/School Centric Model:Transformation to New ASU Model • Unique intellectual identity within ASU • Unique physical identity within ASU • College/School centric plan for success • Targeted competitors • School specific metrics for success

  13. College/School Centric Model:Conceptualization & Design Existing Colleges/Schools • Incremental changes after careful planning • New directions, new models and new space for many • New and differentiated names

  14. College/School Centric Model:Conceptualization & Design Re-Designed and New Colleges/Schools • Interdisciplinary initiativites • Transdisciplinary initiatives • New environments for intellectual fusion

  15. College/School Centric Model:Conceptualization & Design Examples of New Colleges & Schools • School of Life Sciences (Tempe campus) • School of Criminal Justice (West campus) • University College (Capital Center campus) • School of Industrial Administration (Polytechnic campus)

  16. College/School Centric Model:Implementation Phase 0 Design and Planning2004 – 2006 (1-2 years, depending on program) Phase 1 Implementation2005 – 2009 (2-4 years depending on programs and facility needs) Phase 2 University Integration & Linkage2007 – 2012 (3-5 years, depending on program)

  17. College/School Centric Model:Implementation By 2012 – On path to be the next great university of America — shaped by its era, its place and its environment.

  18. Summary:Tempe campus • College of Architecture and Environmental Design will offer select programs to students on other campuses. • Herberger College of Fine Arts will develop an arts presence on the Capital Center campus and on the Polytechnic campus. • Del E. Webb School of Construction will continue to be headquartered on the Tempe campus within the Ira. A. Fulton School of Engineering; the school will offer a construction management program on the Tempe campus, and a construction technology program on the Polytechnic campus.

  19. Summary:Polytechnic campus • Movement of Technology and Applied Sciences School to top 5-7 in the U.S. • General engineering program • Real Estate program • Physical Education Program • School of Industrial Administration • Construction Technology Program

  20. Summary:West campus • School of Criminal Justice & Criminology • Recreation and Tourism Management Program • College of Teacher Education and Leadership

  21. Summary:Capital Center campus • College of Nursing • Public College • School of Public Affairs • School of Community Development and Service • School of Social Work • Morrison Institute for Public Policy
