Student needs are complex and interdependent, but services are typically siloed. Because of the long-term impacts of COVID-19, institutions require integrated services to ensure equitable and successful support for students. Using the renovation of Normandale Community College’s (NCC) College Services Building as a case study, we’ll discuss how integrating student services and creating an innovative service model can better promote student success. Attendees will learn how to plan an integrated service model, align service delivery to meet student needs, and design an inclusive, student-centered built environment to foster student engagement.
