Episode #346: Why Campus Design Still Matters in the Digital Age

For this week’s episode, we’re pleased to speak with Martin Kimmel , President & Co-Founder of Kimmel Architecture , about how thoughtful campus design can strengthen institutional identity in an era of financial constraints and evolving student expectations. They discuss why the most effective campus projects aren't necessarily the biggest or most expensive, but the ones that reinforce an institution's mission, improve the student experience, and make the smartest use of existing spaces. From reimagining libraries and aging facilities to balancing online education with the enduring value of physical campuses, Martin makes the case that authentic, mission-driven design helps colleges create places where students truly feel they belong.
