Creating Adaptable Environments Infographic

Some things never seem to change on the college campus. At least on the outside. Except for the ever-present smartphone, the view of today’s university looks remarkably similar to that of a generation ago or even longer. But a closer look finds a transformation is well underway.

The Creating Adaptable Environments to Support a Changing Campus Infographic explores how macro trends are having dramatic impact on higher education and how facilities and overall campus environment are envisioned and utilized. A new goal of limitless learning is creating common needs across all areas of campus and is requiring a new approach to campus planning.
