Downtown Coffee Shop Tour
Coffee shops on the edges of university campuses are a vital part of academic communities. They serve as flexible “swing spaces” where students can study, work, or unwind on the town-gown border, As "Third Places" they are natural meeting grounds for interaction between students, construction workers and permanent residents -- the portal to the real world. More should be done to make faculty with children able (financially) to live on campuses again.
Animals 300
Today we explore recent action in the literature that informs the safety and sustainability of the built environment for animals large and small. Animals are found in education communities as pets. sporting partners, and as subjects for health care research. Human well-being runs close-coupled with animal well-being.
Higher Education Laboratories
Safety and sustainability concepts for research cuts across many disciplines. We follow action in the International Fire Code, particularly Chapter 38 which sets the standard of care for an occupancy class that is the source of significant revenue for research universities. Committee Action Hearings on the Group B tranche of titles take place in Cleveland, October 23-30.
Quadrivium: Summer
Educational settlements should be magical places. The stack informing the beauty of these "cities-within-cities" changes 100 to 1000 times per day globally.

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.

Technical committees meet face-to-face at least twice a year; every year since 1969. Today the parent technical committee -- ASTM F08 Committee on Sports Equipment, Playing Surfaces, and Facilities -- meets online and can be joined with login credentials.
