CAMPUS PLAN 2030
METHOD AND PROCESS COLLABORATION AND DIALOGUE An effective, sustainable campus plan requires a clear process and clear objectives, where all parties involved share consensus regarding the process as well as the purpose and objective of the final result. This approach was implemented by appointing a project management group consisting of representatives from University West, Trollhättan Mu-
nicipality, the housing company, Eidar, the property company, Kraftstaden and the Student Union. A great deal of emphasis has been placed on maintaining dialogue with various stakeholders throughout the process. Employees of the University and external parties took part in a number of workshops in the spring of 2019.
THE PROCESS OF DEVISING THE CAMPUS PLAN 1. Startup
about the project is posted on the University West website on an ongoing basis. This communication continues for the duration of the project in order to create participation, stimulate interest and make it easier to gain commitment.
This phase involved discussion of conditions, expectations and concerns relating to the project. The mandate and parameters of the project were clarified. It was important to create involvement and consensus around different terms, the current situation, needs, purpose, objectives, timescale and roles.
5. Generating ideas and co-creation Internal and external workshops in order to gain commitment to the campus vision and impact targets, and pool ideas for development.
2. Current situation analysis Analysis of all stakeholders and their needs in relation to the future campus. Current situation analysis, assessing the extent to which the current physical environment is compatible with the needs and success factors identified. Based on the results of this analysis, the areas of the physical environment that are effective, require development or are lacking were pinpointed. The campus area is put into a broader perspective, for example, urban development and the business community.
6. Investigation of prioritised areas A number of key issues and areas are prioritised based on previous work. Issues of particular importance to the campus vision. These are investigated further in different projects, where the members of the project management group are responsible for the different areas. The aim is to ensure everything included in the Campus Plan is agreed upon and viable.
3. Wording of campus vision and objectives
7. Development of the Campus Plan and visualisation
Based on the results of the current situation analysis and our strategic platform, a campus vision is devised along with overall impact targets for our campus.
The plan is put into writing, with visualisation work carried out by 3D animators, architects and urban planners. The main purpose of these representations is to provide inspiration, and they are not a precise description of how the units will appear in future. Text and images combine to form a communicative tool for the development of the campus.
4. Gaining commitment and communication The campus plan affects a number of activities, and thereby lots of individuals. Communication is key to the success of the project, and a communication plan is drawn up based on the purpose and target groups. Information
