Principal and Higher Education Leader Jackie Eckhardt, AIA, LEED AP BD+C, and Associate and Campus Planner Priyanka Saglani, LEED AP BD+C, will present a session titled 鈥淪ubtract to Expand: Space Optimization and Migration at UW Medicine.鈥�

Academic medical centers are facing a crisis in space utilization efficiency and financial stability. The University of Washington Medicine has implemented new space guidelines to initiate migrations across a variety of campus settings in support of a more resilient future for research and clinical programs. Through recalibration of under-used space, this enterprise will expand opportunities for revenue growth.

This session will explore ongoing adaptations to strategic urban campus densification and capital cost reduction, inspiring further space optimizations across the UW Medicine鈥檚 facility portfolio.

Learning outcomes include:

• Explaining the advantages digital tools can provide during the facilities planning process.
• Relating the importance of engagement, advocacy, and communication with leadership and impacted departments for a successful space planning initiative.
• Reviewing space assignment drivers, allocation targets, and guidelines to facilitate decision-making and clarify priorities across a diverse groups of unit representatives.
• Considering lessons learned from the implementation of strategic space initiatives and change management across multiple departments.

Jackie and Priyanka’s session will be on the first day of the conference, Wednesday, April 2 from 2:50 鈥� 3:50 PM.
