This strategic session will help directors and strategic space professionals visualise their space data to improve project briefs, utilisation and challenge siloed behaviours as well as understand their existing estate in more depth rather than building new assets. It will be CPD certified and include plenty of time for in depth discussion, debate and networking. Spaces are limited so book now to avoid disappointment.

Re-thinking the approach to describing and capturing space requirements on campus John Ridgett, Associate Director, Atkins
An interactive session on an alternative approach to looking at and visualising space data on campus that can support the development of project briefs, improve utilisation and challenge siloed and territorial behaviours. Atkins are currently beta testing a new tool – HELM (Higher Education Learning Modes) that seeks to link pedagogy, contact hours and other factors to generating a space model. This session will feed into the development of this tool, the early version of which will be shared in the session with members.

Bio
Dr Hall is a built environment expert focused on how space influences human behaviour and experience. 

Her work in this field started with a degree in Environmental Science leading to a PhD in sustainable cities and buildings. This was followed with a post-doctorate on evidence-based health outcomes for the built environment. Following a STEM leadership program in Antarctica she made the leap to leave academia and has since been focused on creating tools that make evidence easier to access and apply across the built environment. 

She now leads Campus Intuition, a global research company evaluating staff and student experience with campus facilities. She works with a number of property and estates teams helping turn experience data into projects to improve campus environments. 

Dr Hall’s work has been recognised with several innovation awards, including 40 Under 40, Curtin Innovation Award, Western Australian Innovator of the Year Finalist and AMP Change Maker in Australia. She sits on the State Design Review Panel and in 2021 she was elected as an alumni representative to the Curtin University Council.
