In a recent article featured in Building Design and Construction, Peter Fabris, contributing editor, discusses the way campuses are morphing into flexible, high-tech environments to accommodate and excite students, staff and visitors.

PIPs are on the rise in the hospitality industry.Facilities managers have longed for flexibility within their walls for a long time. The ability to reconfigure spaces to meet individual needs and ensure that design, efficiency and the environmental impact are continuously up to date provides establishments with a competitive edge.

After taking a deeper look into the driving forces behind the recent trends, Fabris found that ‘the pressure to hold costs down as rising tuition and fees outpace tuition’ was high on the list. As colleges and universities strive for longevity and flexibility on a budget, it is important that they consider all angles.
