Regents' Proceedings 485
Jean D. Wineman, D.Arch., professor of architecture in the A. Alfred College of Architecture and Urban Planning, will retire from active faculty status on May 31, 2017.
Professor Wineman received her B.A. (1971) degree from Wellesley College and her M.U.P. (1973) and D.Arch. (1977) degrees from the University of Michigan. She served on the faculty of Georgia Institute of Technology from 1977-2000. Professor Wineman joined the University of Michigan faculty as a professor in 2000. She also served as the associate dean for research (2000-14) and chair of the doctoral program in architecture (2000-08 and 2016-17).
Professor Wineman is an internationally recognized architectural researcher with special expertise in environmental programming, design and evaluation. Her scholarship, research and teaching explored the links between visual and spatial properties of architecture and behavioral and educational outcomes. Her recent research and scholarship have revealed the role spatial and visual relations play in residential satisfaction and behavior in urban contexts, in educational outcomes in zoos and museums, and in support of work performance, communication and innovation. Professor Wineman authored, co-authored or edited over 50 publications and proceedings, and she has received more than $6.7 million in research funding. She is a principal investigator of the Spatial and Social Networks in Organizational Innovation project funded by the National Science Foundation and a co-principal investigator of Healthy Environments Partnership: Lean & Green in Motown funded by the National Institutes of Health. Recent projects also include Exhibition Layout and Visitor Movement in Science Museums funded by the National Science Foundation and Identifying Environmental Predictors of High Work Performance funded by the U.S. General Services Administration. A dedicated teacher and mentor, Professor Wineman served as the primary advisor to 15 doctoral graduate students and as a thesis committee member for 30 graduate students.
The Regents now salute this distinguished faculty member by naming Jean D. Wineman, professor emerita of architecture.
