Real Estate and Venture Capital-Fueled Innovation for the Future Campus

There have been two major waves of college and university campus construction in recent history: the first beginning in the 1950s and the second in the early 2000s. It is expected that buildings from both eras will require substantial reinvestment to accommodate future students and faculty. This session explores the campus of the future, with engineered spaces fueled by private capital that are designed to foster collaboration, innovation, and community.
