Great experience collaborating with Derek Noble, Principal at Shepley Bullfinch on a systematic study of the UMass Student Union! Over a two year period, my honors thesis seminar students investigated how the renovated building, reopened during the pandemic, was meeting the needs of a re-adjusting student population. Derek and I presented the work at EDRA 55 in Portland in a talk titled “Student Experience in the Post-Pandemic Campus: Systematic Study of a Student Union Renovation Project and its Contributions to Student Wellbeing.”
Derek’s insights are also captured in this article.
