Submitted by Kristi Northcutt

K-State Olathe's design-build process is documented in Planning for Higher Education's newest issue and is heralded as a best choice because of flexibility with regard to unknown users and stakeholder expectations.

Dan Richardson, CEO of K-State Olathe; Lisa Freeman, adjunct professor in anatomy and physiology and former associate vice president for innovation at K-State Olathe; Valerie York, evaluator in the office of educational innovation and evaluation; Cynthia Shuman, associate director in the office of educational innovation and evaluation; and Jan Middendorf, director of the office of educational innovation and evaluation, have published "Experiences and Insights from Use of a Design-Build Process in Founding a New Campus." The paper was published in the July-September 2012 edition of Planning for Higher Education.
