Learning Objectives:
- Describe strategies that designers of college and university buildings are deploying to meet the sometimes competing objectives of transparency, glare mitigation, and energy efficiency.

- Discuss approaches for integrating campus expansions into existing urban fabric in ways that engage the surroundings and serve the needs of the broader public, not just those affiliated with the academic institution.
- Describe strategies for using conventional materials to create building envelopes displaying a high degree of customization, craftsmanship, and precision, including prefabrication and unitization.
