ARCHITECTURAL IMPLICATIONS - PART 1
Time: 8:29
A nonprofit’s physical space communicates much about the organization and its values and should be of critical concern to its Board of Directors. Does it look welcoming and well-kept? Does it accommodate the nonprofit’s business and contribute to the effectiveness, efficiency, and overall well-being of the organization and staff? How does it appear to clients, volunteers, donors, and neighbors? In the first of a two-part interview, Pat Wyzbinski of the Nonprofit Management Fund discusses the importance of a healthy working environment with Brian Schermer, Director of the Nonprofit Pre-Design Assistance Center and Associate Professor of Architecture at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

ARCHITECTURAL IMPLICATIONS - PART 2
Time: 7:21
Thinking about a building can be an effective way to contemplate the future of a nonprofit organization. As Board Directors and staff imagine aloud the facility their organization may occupy in the coming years, they stimulate conversation about new programs, demographic changes, and other forces that generate and comprise an array of potential scenarios for their nonprofit. In the second of a two-part discussion, Pat Wyzbinski of the Nonprofit Management Fund focuses on how a nonprofit can approach the question of changing the space in which it operates. Her guest is Brian Schermer, Director of the Nonprofit Pre-Design Assistance Center and Associate Professor of Architecture at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
