Creating a 21st Century College Town <br />Friday, April 13 and Saturday, April 14 <br />About the Symposium: <br />Just south of the University of Notre Dame campus, land will be developed that could <br />incorporate market -rate housing, retail, restaurants, theaters, offices and green space. A <br />well- conceived and executed master plan could help further connect the campus and the <br />surrounding community. With this on the horizon, the University of Notre Dame School <br />of Architecture and the Northern Indiana AIA will bring together experts to discuss what <br />makes a successful college town. <br />Creating an attractive community for students, faculty and staff helps colleges and <br />universities attract the best people to study and work. Good college towns realize <br />considerable revenue in property and sales taxes while creating the less tangible, but <br />equally important value of another vibrant neighborhood that serves the varied needs of <br />its citizens. Understanding how campuses and towns have interacted successfully in the <br />past, and are doing so again today, is essential to defining strategies and goals for new <br />college town projects. <br />Friday, April 13 <br />4:30 pm, Bond Hall Auditorium: Keynote Address <br />Dhiru Thadani, a principal with Ayres / Saint / Gross Architects and Planner based in <br />Washington, D.C., will provide an overview of trends and what is happening with <br />planning college towns across the U.S. <br />A question and answer session will follow. <br />6:00 pm — Opening Reception <br />Bond Hall Foyer <br />Saturday, April 14 <br />9:30 am to 12:00 pm, Bond Hall Auditorium <br />20 min. presentations,'5 min. questions after each.
