About the course

This webinar is part of the 2026 Conference On-Demand Bundle Series

Western University’s Ronald D. Schmeichel Building and a new Climate and Sustainability Strategy illustrate campuses as catalysts for social connectivity and climate resilience. Through architecture and institutional strategy, they cultivate social capital, regenerate land and society, and democratize innovation—demonstrating how higher education can embody bold, holistic leadership in uncertain times.

By the completion of this session, participants will be able to:
 
  1. Identify key climate and sustainability trends influencing campus communities and business operations, and analyze opportunities for strategy development in response to these trends.
  2. Explain how institutional climate and sustainability strategies influence the next generation of building design and open space planning.
  3. Describe the engagement process used to influence Western’s sustainability initiatives and summarize key lessons learned from that process.
  4. Explain the role universities play in shaping the next generation of climate leaders through the design and implementation of new campus projects.
