Brielle Bently, senior interior project manager in the Office of Capital Projects, recently co-led the planning of the AUID conference at Princeton and Rutgers, which was held in October 2024. 

During the planning process, Bentley worked closely with Rutgers and the AUID planning committee to integrate conference programming that highlighted both public and private university settings. The conference gathered 66 participants from universities across the U.S.

Bently and others were featured on an episode of the EdUp Campus Planning podcast to talk about the conference. The podcast, hosted by Chris Morett, a campus and workplace planning and activation consultant, highlights the challenges and opportunities higher education faces in managing its facilities and spaces effectively and efficiently.
