A moderated panel brings together the Owner, Designer, and Builder to explore how major academic renovations can be delivered in occupied buildings while maintaining operations, budget, and long-term value. Using the Mary and John Gray Library at Lamar University as a shared case study, panelists examine the same critical decisions through their distinct roles. Rather than focusing on outcomes, the discussion centers on five repeatable decisions that guided scope prioritization, phased construction, and risk management in the renovation of a 1970s academic library. Attendees will gain practical decision criteria and communication strategies applicable to similar campus renovation projects.
