From Backlog to Balance: Deferred Maintenance Strategies for Campus Leaders

After labor, physical space is the largest expense item on most campuses, and it has only grown in the last couple of decades. As student populations have expanded, the activities of academic and administrative units have changed, and material costs for space and infrastructure have ballooned, with institutions spending $600 per sqft for construction on the average higher ed building—more than double what it was a decade ago.
Roundtable

Sustainability Focus Group for Senior Facilities Officers and Sustainability Directors: A Special Session on Climate Action Planning

A Climate Action Plan serves as an institution's essential roadmap for achieving long-term reductions in greenhouse gases and harmful emissions. It signifies an institution's commitment to progress and outlines actionable strategies across policy, research, facilities, and community engagement.
