The Post Pandemic Campus as a Design Challenge
Higher Ed Gamma by Steve Mintz
I recently had an opportunity to speak with Lori Pavese Mazor, who, for over two decades, has helped plan, manage and operate some of New York City’s leading institutions, including the CUNY Hunter College, New York University, the Brooklyn Public Library system and New York–Presbyterian Hospital.
A Yale-trained architect with an NYU Stern M.B.A., Lori generously shared her thoughts about how post-pandemic colleges and universities might rethink some basic assumptions about space allocation and utilization in light of current concerns over cost, eye appeal, fit, sustainability and especially the growing impact of remote work and remote learning.

“The future of the university campus is uncertain, particularly given the popularity of online education, and citizens have a vested interest in the campus’s prosperity. Perhaps when tomorrow’s youth are studying in the Metaverse, these campuses will offer lifelong learning, housing and community to an aging population”
