The blended campus is resourceful with real estate, on and off campus. Start with this question: Is there a need for every current campus space?  As remote access frees up physical space, now is the time to evaluate existing underutilized, underwhelming and unneeded spaces. A parallel step is to revisit allocations of academic department spaces to uncover new efficiency and interdisciplinary possibilities. We found that the more places are unassigned, open, flexible and interconnected, the more they are shared, inviting, collaborative and activated. As such less space can host more uses for both planned and spontaneous activities.  Co-working spaces rather than individual offices save space and promote interactions.  Less space consumes less energy but can feel more energetic, like a busy farmer’s market or sidewalk café.  A similar philosophy applies to off campus commercial and retail spaces that can be designed to act and feel like an extension of the campus, whether for continuing education, research centers, event outlets or cafes.
