Senior business leaders have long understood the significant financial scope associated with the physical campus, but the last several years have amplified the impact that those facilities and facilities leadership can have on the student and faculty experience, research and revenue. Daylight has been shed on how space, capital and operating decisions are critical to the campus’s capacity to serve mission and business imperatives that are evolving dramatically.

As former assumptions about the future continue to be challenged and unanticipated business circumstances emerge, new ways of measuring and analyzing the impact of facilities demands will be necessary to transition campuses to meet upcoming pedagogical, technological, social and experiential evolutions.

The Facilities Stewardship Series engages active business leaders to share their insights on tools and techniques that they are using to understand, reimagine and reinvest in the physical campus for the greatest ROI and the most beneficial outcomes for the communities they serve.

Join this session to learn how the nature of the higher ed campus is becoming increasingly linked to the built environment. Our panel will also explore how changes to program, technology, social experience and resources will be critical to adapting the campus to an evolving customer profile with diverse community needs.
