New academic priorities are shaping space planning initiatives and facility designs for a very different higher education future. Campus spaces and facility assets must now add long-term institutional value for multiple parties with shared interests…and shared space.
At this conference you’ll get the facilities data, metrics, and decision-making rationales you'll need for improved space utilization, expanded flexibility, shared resources, hybrid learning and work, reduced costs, improved recruitment, improved sustainability, and new avenues for financing and funding of capital projects.
