Higher ed spaces for recruiting private and public partners, students, and faculty

The stakes have been raised in the competition for partnerships, funding, recruiting and retaining students and faculty, and the spaces required to succeed are increasingly versatile and technologically sophisticated.

He illustrates how those goals and concepts are being incorporated in the new Flight Operations building at the University of North Dakota, successful stakeholder engagement models, and key decision-making criteria for long-term space viability.
