Release | The Campus Catalyst: Fostering Community for Student Success

We are excited to share The Campus Catalyst: Fostering Community for Student Success, a new white paper written by Mathew Chaney, FAIA, Partner at EYRC Architects.

The paper explores how colleges and universities can reimagine their campuses to better support student mental health, well-being, and connection. It looks at how architecture and planning can create places that serve academic needs while also strengthening community and belonging.

Through research and real-world examples, The Campus Catalyst highlights strategies that can transform campus life, including flexible gathering spaces, designs that encourage informal interactions, and environments that weave nature into the daily experience.
