Unlocking Hidden Value Propositions in Built Environments to Maximize User Experiences

Abstract

Human configurations of built environments have a tremendous influence on users’ health, productivity, effectiveness, and other key metrics. They also have to power to communicate with space users and observers which can lead to either positive or negative outcomes. Dr. Jason Farrell reviews his original research and provide insight and strategy to help leverage built environments to shape the experiences of a wide-range of stakeholders. The key is understanding how these discreet elements intertwine to create a facilities’ DNA, then identifying ways to orchestrate them toward goals and objectives. For industries, such as higher education, attending to these realities has the power to create differentiation and distinction. Dr. Farrell presents concepts and methodologies for assessing effectiveness, and tailoring them to particular industries and their desired outcomes. Research, case studies, and lived experiences inform this journey into creating more effective facilities.
