Abstract
2000 acres being transferred from the Federal Government to a University for future campus development provides an opportunity for this showcase to shine a spotlight on an academic process that emphasized the importance of balancing multiple stakeholders’ interests. The inclusive process sought to capitalize on the institution’s strengths in hospitality along with the surrounding community’s economy built on the entertainment industry. This real world experience put graduate students in position to practice inclusivity through studying the needs/wants of future students, faculty, community partners, and more to potentially influence future RFPs for this enormous project. Of particular note in the showcase is the design team’s assertion and the administration’s apparent agreement that the University’s land acknowledgment statement could be elevated from words to action in the design of the future campus.
