The Ventura College Student Housing project marks the first on-campus housing development in the institution’s history, representing a transformational shift for the college and its surrounding community.
Join Mithun’s Elizabeth Hearn and Simone Barth for “Creating a Live & Learn Environment: Smart Programming and Constructability Lessons from Ventura College’s First Campus Housing Project” to explore how early programming alignment and disciplined constructability evaluation shaped a financially feasible, mission-driven housing solution. Panelists will examine how housing need, institutional priorities, budget constraints and long-term operations were integrated from the outset. Attendees will gain practical insight into how first-of-its-kind campus housing requires proactive operational modeling, structured decision-making frameworks and a balance between affordability, dignity, safety and community-building.
Simone will moderate the event. Elizabeth’s co-presenters are RNT partner Tyson Cline, Ventura College vice president of business and administrative services James Zavas, and Volz Company vice president Mike Loganbill.
