Midnight Breakfast
As if Gen Z students were not spoiled enough: "Come have breakfast with President Bell and Dr. Grady at Lakeside Dining from 10pm to 12am! Come enjoy biscuits, burgers, hot dogs, popcorn, pizza, and a pancake bar with specialty toppings! There will also be a DJ, and all the food will be free!"
Naming & Signs
Most educational settlements are not overloaded by signage by design but distracted management (overlapping temporary signs, inconsistent styles) or large footprints supports the perception. Today at the usual hour we explore the literature covering exterior and interior signage with emphases on coherence and necessity.
7th Edition (2018): Geometric Design of Highways & Streets
The last reorganization of the Green Book that we can track emphasizes transportation of people, rather than focusing primarily on moving vehicles. A new chapter discusses multimodal level of service and puts greater emphasis on lower-speed, walkable, urban zones in which new mobility technologies are emerging such as micro-scooters.

Quadrivium: Spring
Educational settlements should be magical places. The stack informing the beauty of these "cities-within-cities" changes 100 to 1000 times per day globally. Titles are time-sensitive, copyright protected and land in public law. We monitor the action continuously to formulate response to public consultations. Topics appear on our CALENDAR and explored every day at 15:00 UTC. Recommend refresh of this web page once or twice to see timeliest information.
The University Campus As A Designed Work and an Artefact of Cultural Heritage

Current Issues & Recent Research
We met both deadlines for the IEEE National Electrical Safety Code and the NFPA National Electrical Code. We are now in the process of getting ready for our on-site May 4th meeting in Lexington. Kentucky.
International Zoning Code
"The purpose of the code is to establish minimum requirements to provide a reasonable level of health, safety, property protection and welfare by controlling the design, location, use or occupancy of all buildings and structures through the regulated and orderly development of land and land uses within this jurisdiction...." Today we explore how data center antagonists use zoning codes to impede the rollout of artificial intelligence.
Wayfinding
Designing the way out of a campus building is at least as important as designing the way into it. Recent research in order of relevance.
