EdUp Smart Space

In this episode of EdUp Smart Space, we explore the transformative journey of faculty in the era of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).

As AGI reshapes the academic landscape, faculty are at a crossroads, evolving from traditional roles to becoming cognitive architects, context weavers, and ethical guides.

Join host Craig Park and AI thought partner Abby as they explore the seismic shifts in educational identity, the emotional landscape of resistance, and the new capabilities required for faculty to thrive.

Discover how AGI integration is not just a technological shift but a profound reimagining of what it means to be an educator.

Tune in to understand how faculty can harness AGI to enhance their roles and ensure that education remains a deeply human endeavor.

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.

In this solo episode of EdUp Smart Space, I explore the concept of future-ready learning spaces, emphasizing the importance of adaptability, integration, and intelligence in educational environments.

I discuss the role of technology in enhancing learning experiencI es and the need for a human-centered design approach that considers equity and inclusion.

And, I introduce the seven-layer EdTech Navigator Framework for planning technology in learning spaces, focusing on vision, infrastructure, platform, interface, and adaptability.

I conclude with reflections on the future of educational spaces and the importance of creating environments that empower individuals.

In this episode of the EdUp Smart Space podcast, Craig Park explores the key insights from InfoComm 25, focusing on the transformative trends in educational technology.

Craig shares the practical applications of AI in classrooms, the importance of robust network infrastructure, and the democratization of advanced AV capabilities.

The conversation highlights how higher education institutions are leading innovation, the shift towards flexible learning environments, and the global exchange of ideas shaping the future of education.

Craig poses thought-provoking questions for campus leaders to consider as they navigate the evolving educational technology landscape.#EdUp #EdUp Smart Space #FutureofCampusTechnology

In this conversation, Craig Park and Dr. Lennie Scott-Webber explore the intersection of intentional design and technology in shaping the future of learning environments.

They discuss the importance of human-centric design, the B.R.I.D.G.E.S. project, and how to measure the performance of learning spaces.

The conversation also touches on the role of collaboration across disciplines and the impact of AI on educational design, emphasizing the need for the shift toward more equitable and effective learning environments.

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.
