02Project Experience
The projects we create for our clients are aesthetically diverse. Our design for one academic institution would never work for another, nor should it. The culture and character of each campus is unique. Differentiation enables centers of learning to attract and retain faculty and students, and creative design advances this effort.

University of Colorado BoulderMulti-Tenant Office Building Program PlanBoulder, CO
The Gensler team collaborated with the CU-Boulder Facilities Planning department to develop a program plan for a multi-tenant core and shell office building. Gensler utilized expertise in office building design strategy to support the University’s goals of efficiency and sustainability for this project.
The University of Colorado Boulder is a premier public university with a deep research history. With limited availability of research and office facilities on campus, the University is proposing to construct a multi-tenant office building on the East Campus to house rapidly expanding research activities. The new facility will provide high quality and flexible space to support the growth of existing research programs and the development of new research initiatives and partnerships in the CU-Boulder community.
The program plan evaluated options for project size, location, and phasing in relation to existing site constraints, the campus master plan and efficient office building design. The plan also took proposed architectural and systems requirements into account and provided a conceptual cost estimate to align with the proposed budget.
Ultimately, the plan proposed a new 70,000 GSF four-story office building, which will be the first of at least two such buildings on the site. The new facility will be designed as a speculative office building to allow multiple tenants to lease space within it, serving the needs of campus and future campus related tenants.

University of Colorado Memorial CenterBoulder, CO
The 130,000 sf expansion and renovation of the University of Colorado’s Memorial Center has transformed a dark and disorienting building into a sunlit axis connecting the university’s “front door” to the student “front door.”
The Loggia is a 30-foot-wide linear space which acts as an organizational element for the building, connecting the new addition to the existing building. It has a large skylight and clerestory windows which flood the building with natural light.
The four major goals of the project included: creating a welcoming environment for students, faculty, and the general public; incorporating the latest technology; respecting the architecture of the existing building and the campus context; and incorporating sustainable design.
The new addition included the expansion of the bookstore, adding 18,000 sf of offices for student groups and services, creating a 5,500 sf public area with a five-story atrium, and providing approximately 24,000 sf of conference/meeting areas and a multi-purpose room. Among the renovated areas are the Glenn Miller Ballroom, the credit union, and food service facilities.

University of Colorado at BoulderKoelbel Business School AdditionBoulder, CO
Gensler is currently designing an addition and renovation to the north end of the Koelbel Building for CU Boulder. The addition will include a 200-seat auditorium, a business school innovation and entrepreneurship (IE) hub, faculty offices, and pre-function space. The renovation will include modifications to the existing business library to create a 175-seat active learning classroom/study space. Also addressed will be deferred maintenance and HVAC deficiencies to the existing library spaces. The site improvements will address pedestrian circulation, bike parking, and the potential for outdoor event space.
Gensler is working with the Business School, Business Library, and Engineering School to understand goals and vision, develop program, and implement. The IE Hub will serve as a collaborative resource to all of campus with a focus on bringing Business and Engineering students together.

Academic libraries are at a pivotal decision point.The world of higher-education is at an inflection point. Reigning in the escalating costs of higher-education while simultaneously boosting student is the imperative faced by today’s institutions. At the center of this discussion sits the academic library. As an enduring symbol of knowledge and individual scholarship, the library’s prominent place in campus life appears poised to persist—but not without an informed perspective on what about today’s libraries is working and what must change to accommodate an ever-shifting technological landscape and a new generation of student.

WHAT WE DID
We are conducting a multi-year investigation to understand what’s working, what isn’t, and what the future might hold for today’s academic libraries. Our first step was to conduct observational analyses of seven academic libraries in the US and UK. We recorded detailed student usage patterns to provide a “current state” of the library via a web-based observational tool that documents usage patterns over time. This data provides a perspective on how today’s libraries are really being used—and insights that may inform how to improve them for the future.
THE CONTEXT
The academic library is at a pivotal crossroads. New technologies, changing study habits, and efforts to manage the rising costs of higher education put both their facilities and purpose in flux—first questioning the utility of books in a digital age, and then expanding to larger questions around the relevance and purpose of these storied institutions. As colleges and universities grapple with this changing educational context, there is a growing need to understand what’s next for the library.
While digital and social media and ubiquitous access to the internet call into question the need to dedicate space to rows and rows of stacks, previous Gensler research points to some aspects—both symbolic and functional—of today’s libraries that endure. Today’s students prefer to study alone and seek quiet spaces to study most effectively. The library is by far the favored place for this activity, with the majority of students ranking it as the best place to study or work alone on campus.
THE VALUE OF TODAY’S ACADEMIC LIBRARIES GOES FAR BEYOND ACCESS TO BOOKS AND RESOURCES—THE BEST LIBRARIES PRIORITIZE STUDENTS’ NEEDS FOR QUIET AND INDIVIDUAL SPACES TO STUDY.

2016 Workplace Survey Gensler’s 2016 U.S. Workplace Survey data provides a window into the workplaces of “top innovators” as measured by Gensler’s Innovation Index – an average of six tested and validated questions, focused on innovation, leadership, and creativity. Top innovators are determined by segmenting respondents into four groups based on their Innovation Index scores and identifying those employees ranking their companies as the most innovative in the sample. These are the top innovators, employees and organizations who are getting the workplace equation right. By comparing employees with the highest innovation index scores—those in the top quartile or 25%—to those in the bottom quartile, the Survey identified a suite of behaviors and spatial attributes that markedly increase innovation.

since 2005.
According to the Workplace Survey, the most innovative employees have the option to work in a wide variety of spaces that meet their needs, and use that option to maximum effect – whether they need individual space to focus, a conference room to brainstorm or learn a new skill, or a social space to chat with co-workers during a coffee break. Key findings on the habits of top innovators include:
• Innovators report spending only 74% of the work week at the office; less innovative employees spend 86% of time at the office
• Innovators are at least 2 times more likely to have access to, and use, cafeterias, coffee shops, and outdoor spaces
• Innovators report 2 times more access to amenities including specialty coffee, restaurants, gyms, and childcare facilities
• Innovators overall report 2 times more choice in when and where to work

EDUCATION & CULTURE
4 RE Imagining Learning | Strategies for Engagement
A National Dialogue
An internet search of the term “U.S. students compared to other countries” yields hundreds of articles ranging in tone from “crisis” to a “non-issue.” The plethora of results, though, points to the fact that the quality of our public education system is under the microscope, and for good reason: many of our students are not making the grade in comparison to other countries. The discussion around U.S. education is everywhere: from news outlets and educational journals to TED talks and international conferences. Today, even the tech industry getting in the game, with organizations like the Gates Foundation, Apple, and Google all sponsoring initiatives to innovate and improve the quality of education in this country.
Deeper Learning
New research on the brain and how learning happens has resulted in a series of publications that are starting to change the vocabulary when it comes to teaching and learning. In “How we Learn,” Benedict Carey, notes that the brain has not yet adapted from its foraging instincts to “fit” the current model of education. In “How Learning Works” the authors describe learning as “a process that leads to change, which occurs as a result of experience and increases the potential for improved performance and future learning.” Learning is a process not a product, a process that involves change in knowledge, beliefs, behaviors, or attitudes. It is something students do for themselves. In the New Media
Consortium’s Horizon Report: 2014 K-12 Edition, the NMC examines emerging technologies in schools with key trends revolving around the role of teachers, deeper learning approaches, focus on open educational resources, hybrid learning designs, the acceleration of intuitive technology, authentic learning opportunities, personalized learning, and developing technology for schools.
Shifting the Paradigm
Recent research by the Harvard Graduate School of Education, suggests our current system places far too much emphasis on a single pathway to success: (completing high school to graduating from a four-year college after), yet only 30 percent of young adults successfully complete this journey. According to the report, it is long past time that we broaden the range of high quality pathways offered, beginning in high school as lessons from other countries strongly suggest. New approaches to pedagogy and increasing levels of collaboration between schools and industry, spurred by the above factors, mean that the design of the classroom as we have come to know it, needs some serious rethinking. The postwar model of neat front facing rows of desks, with the all-knowing teacher is outmoded. New designs must accommodate a variety of teaching, learning and adapt to ever-changing advances in technology. Maker-type spaces that encourage hands-on learning are increasingly in demand. Most importantly, these spaces must engage learner and teacher alike, spurring the dynamic interactions that foster the deepest learning.

HISTORY OF GENSLER WORKPLACE RESEARCH
Employees see a clear link between the physical work environment and personal productivity. They also report the work environment as very important to job satisfaction.
The link is confirmed between the physical work environment and productivity in the minds of workers. Management-level respondents note workplace has a positive effect on the bottom line and company competitiveness.
KEY FINDINGS: KEY FINDINGS:
Gensler’s 2013 survey is the latest iteration of ongoing research on the workplace, which began in 2005 with Gensler’s first workplace survey. A subsequent survey in 2006 established the connections between workplace design, employee productivity, and business competitiveness. In 2008, our research established a framework for understanding knowledge work through the lens of the four “work modes,” focus, collaborate, learn, and socialize. We discovered that the effectiveness and support of all four work modes connect to employee engagement and company performance.
Gensler’s 2013 U.S. Workplace Survey continues this thread by taking the pulse of the American workplace as it relates to employee effectiveness, business performance, and opportunities to create a culture of innovation. Parallel questions allow for direct comparison with data collected through Gensler’s 2008 survey. This puts our findings in the context of fundamental work and life shifts over that time period and points to solutions to realign today’s workplace with today’s world.

What Campuses Can Teach Us About Sustainability
Campuses are educating tomorrow’s workforce—men and women who will take the need for healthy and energy-efficient buildings for granted and will expect others to share their commitment to sustainability.
Sustainability has become a visible part of the academic mission and vision. Sustainable buildings embody an impulse to communicate meaning. They explain the ways in which they work, and an emerging curriculum points to what they have to teach.
Knowing how sustainable buildings work helps people use them comfortably and productively, while supporting campus goals for energy efficiency and health. Knowing how buildings affect the environment leads people to make informed choices to walk, bike, or take public transit to campus. This change reduces energy consumption, air pollution, traffic congestion and the need for parking.
