In this episode of the EdUp Smart Space podcast, host Craig Park and AI expert Abby discuss the urgent need for higher education institutions to prepare for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).

They explore the infrastructure implications, including power, cooling, and network requirements, and offer strategies like the "10% rule" for manageable implementation.

In this episode, Craig Park and John Dale discuss the concept of open building, a design strategy that emphasizes adaptability and resilience in architecture.

John shares insights from his extensive experience in creating flexible environments that can evolve with changing needs.

The conversation covers the origins of open building, its six-layer model, real-world applications, and the future of this approach in urban planning and education.

Join host Craig Park and Abby the AI for another special edition as they explore why the gap between AGI's arrival and its true impact isn't a delay—it's an opportunity.

Learn why every lecture hall built today is a future liability, what 4000 watts per square meter really means for your campus, and how the boring infrastructure decisions you make in the next 2-3 years will determine whether your institution thrives or merely survives the AGI transformation.

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) promises to transform higher education—but when and how? In this foundational episode, we cut through the hype to reveal a crucial insight: while AGI capabilities may arrive within 5-10 years, the massive infrastructure requirements create a 15-year transformation window that higher education leaders must understand now.

In this episode, Craig Park and Paul Mills discuss the innovative approaches of DIRTT, a company specializing in prefabricated interior construction solutions.

They explore the evolution of DIRTT's mission, particularly in the education sector, and how modular construction integrates with technology to create adaptable, sustainable learning environments.

The discussion highlights the benefits of optical fiber, customization, and the importance of reducing downtime through off-site fabrication.

In this episode of EdUp Smart Space, host Craig Park discusses the intersection of education, technology, and architecture with Katherine Kalant and Alli Mallory from HED.

They explore the importance of a people-centric design approach in higher education, the integration of architecture and interior design, and the significance of engaging diverse stakeholders in the design process.

The conversation highlights innovative classroom designs, the adaptation to hybrid learning environments, and the role of data in planning.

They also discuss the need for inclusivity and accessibility in design, future innovations in campus spaces, and the importance of creating equitable education for all students.
