To rejuvenate this liberal arts campus, a strategic plan was developed that created a paradigm shift in educational philosophy and academic modeling based upon the establishment of Living and Learning Communities. A built environment informed by the new philosophy is being designed so this academic agenda can flourish. Student housing, the student union-wellness center and the library were identified as high priority buildings that would help support the new academic model. The Strategic Plan allows the college to make informed decisions about prioritization of renovation, rehabilitation and new construction for these facilities. Planning also included a campus-wide restructuring of street networking, parking and green spaces to develop a “walkable” community and to foster a more positive relationship with the surrounding community. Schooley Caldwell has worked with Antioch for over 20 years and has designed many projects on the campus.
