THE COLLEGE CRISIS
A massive number of colleges and universities have shut down within the last couple of years, or will shut down in the next few.
Many of these colleges have cited financial hardship or enrollment decline as reasons for closure. But what’s really going on? 🧵 pic.twitter.com/MoF1Iiejzd

Happy Midsummer! 🌺☀️🇸🇪🎉
We had so much fun celebrating the magic of this Swedish tradition by making flower wreaths, dancing around the maypole, enjoying a smorgasbord buffet and music with our American friends, families and allies here in DC. pic.twitter.com/NC9tEKa4RS

The word #standard is commonly used in daily language, so much so that people do not always reflect on its definition. Learn how ASTM International’s Regulations Governing ASTM Technical Committees (aka “Green Book”) defines them. #standards See https://t.co/oSBmwh1lbX pic.twitter.com/ynk87XDr7D

Ubi Caritas et Amor
“Tradition is the democracy of the dead”
History of Western Civilization Told Through the Acoustics of its Worship Spaces
Other sacred compositions by Maurice Duruflé:
- Requiem, Op. 9: Duruflé’s “Requiem” is his most renowned composition. It incorporates the Gregorian Chant melodies for the “Dies Irae” and “In Paradisum” sections. While not hymns in the traditional sense, these chants are significant components of the Catholic liturgy.
- Four Motets on Gregorian Themes, Op. 10: In this choral composition, Duruflé takes inspiration from Gregorian Chant and includes pieces such as “Ubi caritas et amor” and “Tota pulchra es.” These are not hymns but rather choral settings of Latin liturgical texts.
- Fugue on the Theme of the “Carillon des Heures de la Cathédrale de Soissons”: This composition for organ is based on a hymn-like theme, although it is not a hymn in the traditional sense. It showcases Duruflé’s skill as an organist and composer.
- Prelude on the Introit of the Epiphany (for organ): Duruflé composed this piece for organ, incorporating the Gregorian Chant “O Lux Beata Trinitas,” which is associated with the Epiphany in the liturgical calendar.

Sport Occupancies
We will spend most of our time this week preparing responses to the actions taken by technical committees at the April meetings; with our abiding interest in the proposals that affect the physical character of education settlements (K-12 schools, colleges and universities, university-affiliated research and clinical delivery networks).
The largest share of safety and sustainability concepts relevant to our SAFER-SIMPLER-LOWER COST-LONGER LASTING priorities appear in ICC’s Group A tranche of titles. Comments on Committee Actions taken on the April meetings in Atlanta will be received until July 8th — including own proposals for performance-based building interior power chain design.
We will use the transcripts linked in the Group A Model Codes link below
The Big House: With a seating capacity of 110.000+ auxiliary hosting and media enterprises adding another 10,000 occupants 8 Saturdays per year, the University of Michigan Football Stadium is the largest collegiate stadium in the world.
The language “code writers and vote getters”* use to perform their work can be confounding and supports the assertion that some safety and sustainability concepts can only be understood by experienced practitioners in context. It takes decades to fully understand the ebb and flow of ideas. That is one of the reasons we host daily colloquia — in addition to the obligation to respect intellectual property rights of standards setting organizations; a great deal of content is unstable and provisional. Unstable and provisional is the nature of leading practice discovery and promulgation.
As a point of origin for most safety and sustainability concepts for sport occupancies among US-based standards setting organizations we start with the most widely referenced building code bibliography in the United States:
2024 International Building Code: Chapter 3 Occupancy Classification and Use
Education communities have buildings, pathways and infrastructure in all of the groups identified in this chapter. We use the term “sport” to describe recreational and competitive athletic activity for all age groups. Some concepts span across all three groupings. Note the following:
Structural support for sport lighting
Sport arena lighting allowances
Television broadcast lighting requirements
Temporary special event structures
Athletic equipment hazard classification
Plumbing in arenas
Bleachers
Access
Use of arenas for disaster management
…And so on…
Today we pick through the transcripts of the 2021 ICC Code Development Cycle (Group A)
2021 REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ACTION HEARINGS ON THE 2021 EDITIONS OF THE GROUP A INTERNATIONAL CODES
Keep in mind that the Group A titles are near the end of their development cycle (CLICK HERE). Next up, Hearings on the Group A tranche in September. We will post the link to the webcast.
We maintain sport facility literature on the standing agenda of our periodic Sport colloquium when we pull together specifics relevant to the safety and sustainability agenda of the final fiduciary in education communities — typically the tax payer or family. There are many, many more technologies that figure into these spaces; getting occupancy classification is the best place to start since it informs the way all other standards setting organizations develop their literature. See our CALENDAR for the next online meeting.

*A term of art we use to distinguish stakeholders who are effective in gathering data and persuading technical committees to improve consensus products. The most influential voices tend to have an elevated hourly consulting rate. The expertise of “code writers and vote-getters” is distinct from the expertise processes and administration. The private standards domain in most nations is top-heavy with administration.
