||
Facilities
departments have always had to think ahead when making design and construction
decisions. But now, planning for the future increasingly requires understanding
which trends are here to stay (and which are fads) and how far those trends
will evolve. New classroom technology, less traditional instruction models,
research innovation, and the student amenities arms race will all continue to
reshape capital needs, likely at even higher rates of change than before. This
presentation will help Facilities leaders understand which key trends (like
makerspaces, community-centric residence halls, and open-concept office
layouts) will have the biggest impact—and guide them in building the campus of
the future. |
