Aligning Academics and Infrastructure in Higher Education

Elliot had the chance to share his perspective on the gap between the learning and research activities happening on campuses and the spaces that support them with Christopher Buddle from McGill University in a guest column for APPA’s Facilities Manager magazine. We lay out the challenges and propose solutions: creating hybrid academic and facilities planning positions as connectors, establishing a culture of foresight, getting project governance right, and embracing change management.
