2005 COLLEGE CONSTRUCTION TOTALLED MORE THAN
$14.5 BILLION DOLLARS.
ARE YOU LEVERAGING YOUR NEW AND RENOVATED SPACE TO YOUR
UNIVERSITY’S FULLEST ADVANTAGE?
2005 will
be remembered as the year of cataclysmic natural events that took a toll
on the nation’s infrastructure. Construction inflation, which had
been rising at a manageable 3–4 % a year, rose more than that in
the last 3 months of 2005. Even with increasing inflation, completed
2005 College Construction came in at a whopping $14.5 billion
dollars—the highest one-year total in our nation’s
history.
Higher-than-ever expectations from today’s students and
their parents, increased competition for faculty and dollars, rapid
changes in technology, diverse learning and teaching styles, more
pressure to measure results—these are just some of the critical
issues colleges and universities are facing and what they are hoping
that this mammoth expenditure in construction will deliver. Institutions
of all types and sizes are looking for new ways to be closer to the
cutting edge, and facilities are a bigger-than-ever part of the
solution.
