Pressure for cost reduction, better space utilization, improved learningoutcomes, mirroring of industry processes, and elimination of departmentalsilos: These are among the chief drivers behind the convergence trend nowoccurring among the scientific and engineering disciplines. Rick Heinz andLloyd Fisk examine recently-completed and ‘on the boards’ projects to illustratehow those pressures are dramatically changing STEM facility plans andreshaping building designs. They contrast multiple convergence types that maybe coming to your campus – departments, thematic programs, and spacesharing – and detail solutions including strategic siting of convergence facilities,multi-disciplinary instructional laboratories, interdisciplinary researchlaboratories, and shared research core facilities.

Defining Convergence

Definitions of ‘Convergence’:

1. the act of converging and especially moving toward union or uniformity; coordinated movement of the two eyes so that the image of a single point is formed on corresponding retinal areas

2. the state or property of being convergent

3. independent development of similar characters (as of bodily structure of unrelated organisms or cultural traits) often associated with similarity of habits or environment

4. the merging of distinct technologies, industries, or devices into a unified whole


Convergence Drivers

• Desire to break down departmental silos

• Develop interdisciplinary synergies

• Reflect ‘real-world’ processes outside of academia

• Improve learning outcomes

• Establish cost efficiencies through co-location of like programs

• Accelerate research and development activities to create beneficial and/or profitable outcomes

Takeaways – The Tradeline Three

1. Convergent science facilities are driven by a vision to combine disparate functions to create more effective or efficient outcomes.

2. There are many types of convergent science buildings. Consider the types that will most effect positive change on your campus.

3. Convergent science facilities flourish based on features such as interaction spaces, shared resources, and visual connections.
