27. How does one judge success in the ever- changing 21st century design environment?
28. Success Traditional Metrics Awards. Publication. Design Reputation. Firm Size. Profi tability.
29. Success My Metrics Truth to mission. Stewardship of place. Repeat clients. Measured growth. Profi tability. Design Excellence will be a natural outcome of these metrics.
30. Well Rick, that’s all great, but how does this manifest itself in your Architecture? Case Study: Norwich University, Academic Building
31. Campus
32. Design Criteria Goals and Mission / Inside-Out • Improved Instructional Space • Case Study Rooms • Physical Manifestation of Collaboration • Complement 25-30p classrooms w/ 60-90p case study and lecture halls as well as 15p seminar rooms • Flexibility in the learning environment; short and long- term • Refurbish Dole Auditorium to be current with standard performance venues. • Support Students and Faculty • Formal and informal meeting spaces for students and faculty • Dedicated space for students to transition from military to academic life Design Criteria Goals and Mission / Outside-In • Increased Visibility • Departmental Identity • Connecting to VT Industry • Outreach to Community • Stitch the campus together • Revitalized Webb joins multiple campus elevations, from multiple directions • Reinforce existing campus circulation networks
